Where do I connect the internal USB wires?
I have a MSI K8T Neo FIS2R motherboard and I am not quite sure how to connect the internal USB wires. This motherboard comes with a special back plate with 2 USB slots. I also have 2 front USB ports on the case and a floppy drive that also has a USB connection for digital camera cards.
The motherboard has two sockets, each with 9 pins. I originally hooked up the front USB ports, each of which has a 4 pin wire and a single pin ground wire. The back plate USB thing has a single 9 pin connector that takes up a whole socket. The floppy drive USB wire is only a 4 pin connector, with no ground wire.
If I attach the floppy USB wire I only have the top 4 pins left. This means one of the front USB port wires must go in the top 4 pins. The instruction manual says nothing about using the top pins. Plus there would then be no place left for that ground wire that comes with the front USB ports.
Can I use those top pins, and can I use that front USB port without attaching its ground wire?
