help with extra USB...

[JimmyG]

I was wondering if anyone that has the PC-68 lian-li case can instruct me on how to connect the 4 front USB ports to my mother board. The documentation that came with the case is very lacking in terms of instruction.
I have an Asus a7m266 motherboard.

If any further information is needed, please post so and i will put it up here. Thank you.

The motherboard manual should have a breakdown of the connections for the USB ports (you can only connect two of the front USB ports to the AM7266 from what I understand) -- it's page 40 of the manual that's on Asus's site

The basics of it are to line up each plug from the case to each pin on the motherboard, as the two manuals relate.
The wires from the case are labelled well as USB 1 - 4, from there just separate them and follow the color coding to match each item to what the mb manual says.

ie: GND BLACK of USB port 2 from the case to GND of USB port 2 on the mb

Note that PWR equals VBUS, the others are exact ( - is -, + is +, GND is GND), and NC means No Connection

It can be a pain with all the tiny connectors, but it's really nice once it's all set up.
