Hmmm... not entirely sure what you mean. Don't suppose you could post a picture somewhere and link it...?

Well the pins get attached to your motherboard, if it supports extra USB ports.

Your motherboard manual will tell u how the pins should go. Also on the motherboard itself, the pins will be numbered from 0 to 4 or 5 I believe. I'm pretty sure it starts off with red, and ends with black. But you should double check with ur manual.

Look in the manual for your motherboard. If your case is similar to the one I have, each wire/pin will have a label on it listing which pin it needs to be connected to. Your mobo manual should have a pinout diagram for the front USB header. Match the wires to the pins and you're in business!

I have the same issue with my Evercase. The labels on the leads do not match those in my motherboard manual.

THE INFO on the pins is not what it say's on the MOB for the pin ,and the color's are not the same as some of my other case's that have 1 plug for each USB slot

Well, like I said, I still don't have a very clear picture of the problem. If you have info on what each pin is on the motherboard, and you have info on the pins on the case, then you should be able to simply match them up. If there's no plug on the case, then I imagine you'll probably have to solder the wires on or something.

These are the standard USB pin assignments:

1. Power
2. USB-
3. USB+
4. Ground

Simply match those up with the wires and you should be fine.
