Hi, I recently tried to assemble my pc, I have completed 70% and some of the inserting pins are bit confusing. It shows 2 usb pins where you can alter the usb cable that came with the atx case. I have 2 cables that should be popped in to the usb pins, one cable show ''USB'' on the back and the other shows ''IEEE 1394'' And there knobs look the same and their is no other ports to alter them exept the only 2 usb ones in the motherboard. I have attached a image below, would appreciate if someone cud tell me which ieee 1394 cable and usb cable goes to. Also there are cables to led, power btn, reset I have altered them all in the motherboard jus wondering if its in the wrong ones will it cause any trouble?? I have done it and I have attched in the pic below on how i done it, please let me know if its wrong or right? Thanks! edit: motherboard is a, asrock 939sli esata2 M1697
Can't find a matching MB on the Asrock site, nearest to your description is the one below. http://download.asrock.com/Manual/939SLI32-eSATA2.pdf What ever you do, do not connect the firewire connectors to the usb headers on the board. I would suggest you hold off until you get a manual which ties up with what you have in front of you. If you connect the wrong things then you are leaving yourself open to a nice blue spark when you power on.
Its really confusing, I have an aspire x-cruiser case and it got all the fan wires etc.. it doesnt even have a good manual about where the firmwire goes. Thats the original pic of my motherboard anyone know where goes where from the x-cruisers wiring?
here is my mobo wires, can u point out which case fires go where on the mobo, like firmwire, usb etc.. thanks alot!!
i found this, 939SLI-eSATA2 there web site http://www.asrock.com/product/939SLI-eSATA2.htm * Socket 939 for AMD Athlon 64/64FX/64X2 processor * ULi M1697 1.

You should now be able to complete quite easily. The case wire will be marked up. The Audio will go to the connector 27. Power etc.. to the indicated pins on 18, and the usm to either 4/5 or 6/7 connectors 21,22, your MB does not have a firewire header for the 1394 pins to connect to. Stick the sensor anywhere you want if it does not mount under cpu heat sink, and the fan connectors go to PSU fan output.
The case is a Aspier X-Cruiser. My main trouble is with the firewire, I cant find it in my mobo. Also I have shown in my mobo pic about the power wires etc.. is that right what i done? I done has the manual says. In the upper pins the power wires are facing towards the motherboard and in the bottom pins the reset, hd led are facing downwards towards the bottom of the case (thats how I have done, guess its right)
I have linked up all the fan connectors to each other in the end the last one was a output connector and I suppose psu has all output connectors too. (PSU, WILL GET IT TOMMOROW). In the case manual it says: NOTE: 1. You can link together all the 4-pin connectors (male to female) from all the case fans, LCD, LED, HDD and just use one of the 4-pin Molex connectors from power supply. That will leave you more 4-pin Molex connectors from your power supply to other devices. How can I connect the 4-pin output connector to the psu?
Just connect one of the many 4 pin connectors onto it, norammly you can use either end of a flying connector to accomodate male or female connectors. Earlier you aksed about the usb pinouts being different, that is because they are labelled for each port. p-7 is for usb port 7. p-5 is for usb port 5 etc...
Thanks for the reply. So.. I can plug in the usb wire into any 45/67 header in mobo? You said: Which one do you mean? Connect it from PSU or the case connectors? I have already connected and linked all the fan connectors to together , one output is the one I got now, I have to connect that to the PSU. Didnt get what u said by '' flying connector '' Also any idea on the power led, reset etc..? Have I done it right? Thanks!!
nibraz, looking at the manual that was linked, you don't have an onboard firewire so you cannot attach the case firewire connectors unless you get a firewire card that accepts the case connectors. read the manual to see where all case cables to go to.
I have readed all, the power led, reset these are way too confusing others were pretty easy exept those. And the case fan connectors arent in the manual, it wont be there anyway. So here is a pic that I have linked the case connectors together and the output pic which need to go to the psu. edit: these connectors are linked at each other its not linked to psu.
