Front USB Connectors - GA-M59SLI-S5

[dragon]

Hi

I am about to put my new system together that has a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 motherboard and a Thermaltake Armor LCS VE2000BWS case. I am unsure about the front USB connections...

The case has two front USB female connectors 5-pin (5x1):

1. VCC = Power (+5V)
2. USB- = Negative Signal
3. USB+ = Positive Signal
4. GND = Ground
5. SHIELD = Ground

The motherboard has three front USB male connectors 10-pin (5x2):

1. Power (5V)
2. Power (5V)
3. USB DX-
4. USB Dy-
5. USB DX+
6. USB Dy+
7. GND
8. GND
9. No Pin
10. NC

I would like to know whether I can plug the case connectors to pins 2,4,6,8,10 or alternatively to pins 1,3,5,7,9 - or perhaps they are not compatible?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

OK, I'll ask Gigabyte.
