4 pin usb header?

[edjahman]

I have a dfi lp nf4 sli-dr and i need to plug in an internal usb cable. It's a 5 pin cable marked as follows..vbus d- d+ gnd shd. I did a quick inspection of the board while it was in the case. I wasn't able to locate it. Does anyone know the location of the usb header??

 

Thanks

I found the header but it's 9 pins. Whats up with that?

right under the chipset fan is the USB headers. even though you see two rows, you can plug your 4 pin into any of them. right align the wire to the header and you should be set.

Its has five pins. So I assume you mean plug it into the 5 pin part on the bottom of the header. Im not sure exactly how to place it. Its wire colors are as follows. red white green black black.

Here's the standard USB header pinout. It's not absolutely necessary to connect the shield but a good idea to do so.

don't worry about that one row is 4 pin and the other 5 pin...pretend both are 4 pin and line it up like that. boot and test your usb device works, then put your case side back on.

THX man; found the pic on the Frontx website; it was nice of them to also show the wire colors.
