Where in the motherboard is the usb header situated and what does it look like?
hi mate the usb header is a set of pins used for any other usb internal hardware you may want to install,and most motherboards come with at least one but normally two apart from connecting usb devices its also used for card readers and tempeture displays,and come as a nine pin configuration a usb header on a motherboard looks like this : http://www.hardwarezone.com.au/img/data/… jusb3) you may also find that some older usb devices may not fit in newer usb headers so dont force any device when building a p.c you will also need to connect any front usb connectors however some may come as 9 seperate connector wires and for novices this can be a bit confusing however a standard usb connection comes in the following configuration side A power D- D+ ground key (+5v) (no pin) o o o o o 1 3 5 7 x o o o o o side B 2 4 6 8 10 power D- D+ ground n/c (o = pins) this is the way mo
