Newbie - conecting motherboard cables with a case cables
Hello,
This is a first time I am trying to connect motherboard (V4MDMP) with a computer case. I don't understand some names from the manual, for example vcc5 (positive 5V?), nc (not connected?), gnd (ground?). Some connectors are multicolored - is there any standard with colors? Each pair of wires have a white color? Does white is a ground? Are there any Interne sites that describe any standards or how to connect motherboards? Thanks, Zalek |

Hi,
It sounds like you're talking about the USB connectors. The colors are like this: Vcc == +5V (red) USB- == - data (white) USB+ == + data (green) Gnd2 == Ground 2 (black) Gnd == Ground (black) Nc == No connection Somtimes Gnd2 is called USBOC (usb over-current) instead.. I have no idea what purpose this serves.. Also, one USB connector may have gnd and gnd2, while the other has gnd and nc.. Your motherboard manual should tell you which pin correponds to which connection above. Regards, Chris |

Regards, Chris Thanks Chris, My motherboard used only this short names - after seaching the internet I found that ground is usually a black or white cable. Using this hint I successfully assembled my new PC (MB - Mach Speed V4MDMP with Athlaton +3000) and this message is from the new machine. Zalek |
