The layout is as follows
one end is +5volts and one end is always ground

if you have five pins two ends are ground

pin1 pin2 pin3 pin4 pin5
+5v data - data+ gnd gnd with over
current
shieldi

Actually only the 1st 4 pins are needed
A voltmeter sould tell you where


This is a standard pin out a MB does not matter

Same for 2nd row

If you have a cable to conncet to header
you can test the pins

I want to connect the front USB ports on a GA-8SMIL Ver 1.0 board, but
there doesn't seem to be any info available as where each pin should go.

It's a 2x5 pin connection, the layout is like this;

0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0

This is slightly different to all of the connection diagrams available
on the various 8SMIL boards referenced on the Giga-Byte site. Packard
Bell's "support" doesn't include any pin diagrams for the F_USB. I'm
assuming PB have made it that way just for the hell of it

Anyone got any idea as to how to connect it properly ?
