nf7-s having usb 2.0 problem

[Me]

I just purchased the nf7-s motherboard (rev. 2.0) and everything seems to be working, except the usb 2.0. The motherboard came with a piece that goes in one of the available expansion slots on the case and plugs into 2 of the available usb connectors on the motherboard on the 1394 connectors. I have all of this plugged in (and, I assume, correctly). When I plug any usb device into either of these 2 usb ports, nothing happens. I have WinXP with sp1a installed, and have the latest drivers installed from abit-usa.com.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I suspect you have the pin-headers plugged in wrong, I seem to remember some talk of the header diagram layout in the manual being wrong. Actually I didn't get around to connecting up my add in USB2.0/Firewire slot yet. .

Did you try plugging your USB devices into the fixed USB ports? (the one's that are permanently attached to the I/O backplate).
