Front panel connectors help

thecremeegg · 15 Jul 2007 at 16:20

Right, i have an asus P5B vanilla and a recently acquired XaserIII case. My main problem is i have no idea how to wire up the fron panel connectors. I can do the power button, HDD light and that lot, they're easy cos they're labellled!
What i cant do is the usb ports etc on the top, as they have loads of little connectors with lables that make no sense.
The asus instruction manual is absolutely no help at all, so can someone please tell me/point me in the dirtection of a guide that shows me in laymans terms which connector goes to where on my motherboard?

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers

Right i'll write out what the pins are:

I have a group of 7 pins grouped together in one wire. The pins say:
GND
EAR L
EAR L
EAR R
EAR R
MIC-VGC
MIC IN

And on the other wire i have the pins that say:
VG
TPB+
TPA -
TPB-
GND
TPA+
VP
GND

I assume the first lot are for the mic slot and the second lot for the audio out.

In the manual it says:
AGND
MIC2_L
NC
MIC2_R
NC
NC
Line out_L
NC

So i have no idea what goes where and i seem to have too many pins for the MB. What you say makes sense if my wires actaully have the same names lol

yea it does have firewire, that adds further confusion cos it doesnt say about that in the manual at all!

I've worked out the USB connectors, they're all plugged in and working, its just the audio and firewire that im struggling with.
Above i've posted all the wires etc, and the corresponding ones on the MB, i just need to know which corresponds with which

I only got one with it, and that was for the power button etc

thecremeegg · 15 Jul 2007 at 17:38

is urs the standard p5b? in the manual it says it should only come with one.
Can u post whats written on each one if its anything like what i've posted?
