K7VZA help needed on getting front usb working

Hi
Just wondering if anyone of you lot has had a k7vza mobo before.
The one i have is 2 yrs old and has a 1.2 athlon in with sd ram.
I have a tower with front usb connection i have tried diferent ways to get
the front usb working but i cant sem to do it. theres two lots of wires
group 1 and group 2 and theres 4 wires for each group

black - ground
green - +D
white - -D
red - +5 i think this is also called vcc not 100% though

and the connection has 10 pins for 8 wires to go on with no markings.

* * * * *
* * * * *

i have seen this posted by someone before

vcc 0 0 gnd
..oc 0 0 data 1+
data o 0 0 data 1-
data 0+ 0 0 oc
gnd- 0 0 vcc

theres also a jumper to enable the front usb which i have tried on both
settings
any idea what wires go where and what jumper setting i should use anyone.
thanks for looking

That worked a lot m8 thankl very much. it got one of the ports working no
matter what i tried with the other wire nothing. this could be a dead wire
or something but i only needed the one )
Thanks again

For what it's worth a friend of mine and I were going through exactly this
issue last night on his k7vza. Here's what we discovered.

If you look at the pins for the usb2 you must find pin 1 which you have
already done. Through trial and error we found that we must enumerate the
remaining pins in a "straight down the row" fashion. At the top of the bunch
with pin 1 being on the left, we found that pin 6 was just to the right of
it. So in other words pin 1 and pin 6 are directly across from one another.
2 and 7 are across and so on down the line. If you count the pins 1 through
5 on one side and 6 through 10 on the other you would be wrong.

A great big "DUMBASS" goes to me on flubbing that one Klaus. Great catch. I
must have written that when I still had my head halfway up my ass. You are
exactly right with pin 1 and 6 being on the "bottom" of that bunch if we
believe the picture to be correct. My colorblindness to red when blended
with green doesn't help much either with that picture. It also looks like we
would exchange port enumerations if it was done my way but at least not
cause any destruction.

In any case I appreciate you pointing out my error in a kind way. Thanks!

Hi Bob,
I just realized that it makes no difference if pin 1 & 6 are on top or on bottom of the two rows, because it's a symetrical system.
The only thing which is changed is the that USB 1 is on left side instead of being on the right side!
But nevertheless I tried every possible pin combinations without success. My front USB ports are still dead!

Regards,
Klaus
