You can connect either the AC’97 or the HDA connector, depending on your motherboard. Locate the
internal audio connectors from your motherboard or sound card and connect the corresponding audio
cable. Consult your motherboard or sound card manual for the pin-out positions. Even if your system
supports both standards, only use one connector.

Connected to your front panel are LED and switch leads for power, reset, and
HDD LED activity. Attach these to the corresponding connectors on your
motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for specific pin header
locations. For LEDs, colored wires are positive ( + ). White or black wires are
negative ( – ). If the LED does not light up when the system is powered on, try
reversing the connection. For more information on connecting LEDs to your
motherboard, see your motherboard user’s manual.

Note: Polarity (positive and negative) does not matter for switches.

There may come a time when you need to reconfigure the pin-out of a motherboard header connector.
Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such
as the Power Button connector.

Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard user’s manual or your motherboard
manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin-out needed for your connector. We strongly recommend
making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your work gets disturbed.

1.

Determine which wires you need to remove in order to rewire your
plug to match the USB pin-outs on your motherboard (refer to your
motherboard user’s manual). Working on one connector at a time,
use a very small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to lift up on
the black tab located beside the gold posts (squares). This will
allow you to easily slide out the pins from the USB plug.

2.

Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors, or
pins, slowly remove the pin from the connector. Repeat these
steps for each wire you need to change.

3.

Working carefully so as not to damage the wires, connectors or
pins, slowly reinsert the pin into the correct slot of the connector
then snap closed the black tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat
these steps for each wire you need to change.
