So, looking through the manual, and online, i cant find the correct configuration for the front panel usb. My case has a 4 pin inline connector, with a 1 off for ground. When i look at the usb configuration on the motherboard, it takes 9 pins. Im not sure how to configure this, and the manual is absolutely teh suck. Ideas?

Thats the manual for the motherboard.

A3701 Media Center Case is my case.

Please please if anyone has a clue, let me know. Otherwise, im going to have to guess...

TIA

well, at least post what you did so that someone who searches for the same problem doesn't have to guess

// rant about hating such threads where people just post "nvr mind, fixed it" w/o the solution

ok, so the 4 pins on one side is where i had the 4 pin connector. however, the correct configuration was to put the four pins on the other side with one left over.

They are all like that for the most part.The motherboard header has two rows, four pins for each usb port. One pin is not connected and one is a key (blank).
