I am installing a new ECS K7VZM into a new case, and I want to make
use of USB ports 3&4.
The USB header is made of 2 rows of 5 pins each. The cable that comes from the USB bracket, has 2 rows of 5 holes.
How do I know which way to plug in the connector onto the USB
header ? It can go in both ways, and the owner's manual does not
have the pins numbered.
Please help.

Is there no red wire on the header? Any red or white wire or mark indicates "pin 1". Similarly, the board should have a white mark or notch silkscreened on to indicate pin 1 of the header. The manual would certainly tell you, as well.

Well, the manual tells you nothing. The pins are not even numbered.
I do see a white line on one side of the connector, so I assume that side
is where pin #1 should go.
There are 2 red wires on one side and 2 blacks on the other. So the RED is pin 1, correct ?
