I'll make this as easy as possible and provide large detailed pics of what I'm working with. My case (sig) came with front side USB ports, but complicated looking connecters for hooking it to the mobo (sig). Didn't really care when I built the comp, cuz I didn't need that many USBs. Things change, and now I do.

Here's pics, but I don't understand what it is telling me:

These connectors from the case will populate either the USB_56 connector or, the USB_78 connector. Pick whatever one you want.

See how one set has the number 2 on them and the other set has number 1? It will be like this;

x x x x x = number 1

x x x x = number 2
where x represents a pin on that header on the motherboard.

Top row of x's left to right;
VCC 1
DATA -1
DATA+1
GROUND 1
SHIELD

Bottom row of x's;
VCC 2
DATA-2
DATA+2
GROUND 2

Edit: Yes, you've got it right.
