How to connect front USB ports

[BadThad]

How do these match up for connecting the front case USB ports?

There are 4 cables going to the USB connector on the front of the case, there are labeled:

USB+
V
USB-
G

On the mobo they are labled:

USB +5
LDM2
LDP2
GND

I know these match-up:

USB+ TO USB +5
G TO GND

I don't know about the other 2. Any help is appricated.

Try reading up here Of course, you'd have to find your mobo specs for details

ahhh...that doesn't really help me, thanks anyway. The mobo is an Asus P4T533.

Maybe this will clear it up

or better yet, this one -- methinks the usb+ and usb- are for the data (D+ and D-)

 

[BadThad]

ahhhh
Looks like this is the answer:

USB+ >> USB +5
G >> GND
LDM2 >> V
LDP2 >> USB-

Can anyone confirm this? I'd hate to toast a USB device, it's a bit tricky because of the power flowing thru.

Thanks

in order to really answer, need to know :
1. Which Case

my translation:

USB +5= 5V in-------------->>V=Power
LDM2= Line Data Minus-->>USB-=- signal/ Data
LDP2= Line Data Plus---->>USB+=+Signal/ Data
GND+ Ground------------->>G=Ground

I agree with this interpretation

Not meaning to sound like a prick, but didnt you get a manual with ya mobo?

I've found that often the case manufacturers and motherboard manufacturers labelling doesn't tie up...as in this case.

I think it might be fun to see a USB device burn.. I mean... go for the translation above, it makes a lot of sense. The other thing though - in my experience I have never had a problem with the connectors because of the way they are usually oriented - couldn't screw up even if I tried - if thats not the case (and I assume not) then definitely go with what has been mentioned.

Seems logical....thanks!

I've hooked up thousands of USB cables, but all the wires were on one connector. In this case, each wire is an individual. One mistake and you can fry a device.
