i have 2 front panel usb 2.0 ports, and 1 front panel firewire. With my motherboard, i recived more avialble firewire and usb2.0 ports to connect to the mobo. I noticed that with the firewire, the one extending from the case is seperated into i believe 7 or 8 seperate wires. The white wire is split into like 2, and the ground black wire is split into 2 as well. the firewire that came on a bracket with the mobo, is much easier to understand. its one monolithic connector. i tried to see if i can match up the colors of the wires on the combined wire connector on the bracket, with the one with single wires, but seems they both contain 2 different colors, like different shade of blue, and a pink. How do i know which wire goes onto which header, can somebody give me a diagram on how to arrange each individual wire on the firewire cable, to put onto the 1394 header? pictures or drawings would really help, thx
You'll have to match each pin and wire up correctly. It's unfortunate, but there's been a few companies that have a different pin-out, and this is the option some case companies have taken.
