Rewiring Motherboard Header Connectors

If a case connector does not have the same pin-out as the corresponding motherboard header,
it may need to be reconfigured. Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or
some other front panel connector such as the Power Button connector.
Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard manual or your motherboard
manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin-out needed for your connector. We strongly
recommend making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your
work is disturbed.
1. Determine which wires you need to remove in order
to rewire your plug to match the USB pin-outs on
your motherboard (refer to your motherboard manual).
Working on one connector at a time, use a very small
flathead screwdriver or similar tool to lift up on the black
tab located beside the gold posts (squares). This will
allow you to easily slide out the pins from the USB plug.
2. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires,
connectors, or pins, slowly remove the pin from the
connector. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change.
3. Slowly reinsert the pin into the correct slot of the connector, then snap closed the black
tab that was lifted in step 1. Repeat these steps for each wire you need to change.
