See if this will help

Here is a link directly to obtain the manual to your mobo. It should show you where your front usb connections are.

Hope it helps.

look to the left of the chip that says intel, theres a few pins (blue ones)that say USB-1 USB-2 beside them.

Sorry for the crappy picture. Anyways it usually a set of 9 or 10 little pins that you can put the connectors into. If you look on your mobo it might say it

ok i got it to work, i still couldnt figure out how they went in (like what order) so i looked at my usb 2.0 game module that makes two extra usb ports in the back, looked at the way that hooked up and i got it.

thanks for the help i owe you one.

Yeah, like Windwaker said. I didn't bother with mine too, Carlos. I just hooked up the two USB and firewire brackets in. You have to follow the manual and know where the ground and data connections are in the USB_1 or USB_2 slot is. Or at least, that's how I figure. My fingers are too fat so it's hard for me to get it in there. I'm lucky I even got all those LED HD, Power switch, etc. in. I'll have to think about getting tweezers or something, hehe.
