fire wire pin out

my case has a firewire port with the follow leads at the end:

GND
GND
VP
VG
TPB+
TPB-
TPA+
TPA-

and the motherboard has the following pins:

GND
+12V +12V
TPB- TPB+
GND GND
TPA- TPA+


So it's obvious that I'm one lead short of populating all of those pins.

The TPBs and TPAs obviously match up. And I should be putting the VP to one of the 12V+ and 2 of my GNDs to the 2 of the 3 GNDs but which way is the right way?

My case manual says that:

VP = is the power
VG = ground

So if VG is ground this means I'm short one 12V+ lead?

How do I hook this up?
Many thanks and hopefully my description was clear...
 
Hook em up as stated and try the VP on either on of the +12V. Maybe the Case has 1 firewire Port where as the Mobo supports 2?

well i know it's one port b/c there is a backpanel firewire port that i'm opting not to use that has the leads all in one harness and this harness takes up all of these pins.
