Front firewire port difficulty

[Martyuk39]

I have an Antec Sonata case (http://www.antec-inc.com/pdf/manuals/Sonata_en.pdf). I have the Asus K8V SE Deluxe. I want to enable the Firewire port at the front of the case. There is a cable from the front of the Sonata with the following labelled wires:
VP
VG
TPA+
TPA-
TPB+
TPB-

The Asus board has a 10-pin connector for the bundled Firewire module. I'm assuming I can wire the cable from the case to this.
Looking from left to right (2 rows of 5) the pinouts are labelled as follows:

Top row: TPA0- GND TPB0- +12V GND
Bottom: TPA0+ GND TPB0+ +12V [blank]

First of all, can I enable the front port in this way? If yes, then I assume I plug the TPA and TPB +/- connectors into the similarly-named connections on the motherboard. After that I'm stumped. Has anybody tried this before? Or is it obvious to someone with more knowledge than me? (that's not difficult)
Thanks
Martin

I have an Antec PlusView1000 and an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe and have the front firewire port connected to the mobo. Works great. Yes, connect the TPA and TPB +/- connectors to the corresponding pins on the mobo and then connect the VP connector to a +12V pin and the VG connector to a GND pin and you should be good to go. Good luck.

Thanks - I managed it in the end, after an anxious period where lights started flashing when I was powering up. I think I snagged the secondary power cable to the mobo. Once I'd fixed that it works fine - thanks very much for your help
