Hardware Setup
Depending on the pin layout on your motherboard USB
header, it may be necessary rearrange the color wires of
Internal USB cable to match the USB pin assignment.
Please refer to your motherboard manual for USB header
pin assignment information.
Internal USB cable connect to USB header
Internal USB cable is consist of Red, White, Green and
Black wires. Each color wire shall be connected to a specific
pin on the USB header.
Red wire = Power (VCC)
White wire = P- (Data-)
Green wire = P+ (Data+)
Black wire = Ground (GND)

<<< Example >>>
Here is an example base on the motherboard we have.
According to the motherboard manual, we have following pin
information on USB header:
Therefore, we shall have:
Red wire goes to pin 1
White wire goes to pin 2
Green wire goes to pin 3
Black wire goes to pin 4
Comparing the default wire setting on the Internal USB
cable, no wire reassignment is necessary. We can plug in
the black pin connector of Internal USB cable to the USB
header directly, with red wire goes to pin 1 or 6.

Pin 1 = USB Power
Pin 2 = USBP2-
Pin 3 = USBP2+
Pin 4 = GND
Pin 5 = NC
Pin 6 = USB Power
Pin 7 = USBP3-
Pin 8 = USBP3+
Pin 9 = GND
Pin 10 = NC (No pin)
Red wire goes to pin 6
White wire goes to pin 7
or
Green wire goes to pin 8
Black wire goes to pin 9
Hardware Setup
Please note that your motherboard USB header pin
assignment could be different from the example above. If you
need to reassign wires on Internal USB cable, please follow
the procedure below:
(1) Determine which wires you need to remove from the
black pin connectors first by referring to your motherboard
USB header pin layout.
(2) Using a needle or push pin to flip up the tiny plastic tab
and pull the wire out from the connector. Please take caution
on this step as excessive force on flipping the tab may cause
the tab to break.
(3) Repeat above step for each wire that requires changing.
(4) Insert the wire pin back into the correct slot and press the
tiny plastic tab down will hold the wire in its position.
