Good mornin!
I need your help!
I have a PC/Chips M811 motherboard which I have put into an IceBox case.
Inside the case coming from the front audio and usb ports are two bunches of wires. One set of wires(8) are marked VCC,1+D,1-D,GND and VCC, 2+D,2-D,GND. The second set of wires(5) are marked MCPOWER,MC IN,GND,L-OUT L-RET,R-OUT R-RET. The motherboard manual makes no reference to these markings so I haven`t got a clue where they go on the mother board.
Can anyone help with an explanation as to what VCC etc stands for and where they sould be connected on the board.
Regards

I have just built a PC and have the exact same problem, everything works bar the front USB and mic ports, I just left the wires loose and used the back USB and mic ports although I could do with some help as I would prefer to use them.

Again the Mobo manual makes no reference to these at all, Where it highlights the USB connection to go the look like they take a block type connector rather than the single thin leads that the cable brakes down into, although I could try to fit them 1 one by one there must be a million combinations and trying them could bevery stressfull.

I had the same problem but I think that now i've got it right.
Your motherboard manual won't have anything about the wires coming from your case because the wires aren't a part of the motherboard. Have a look at your motherboard manual for info about the pins where the front USB cable is suppose to connect to. (and other cables)

Look through the manual / papers that came with the case for "Pin Assignment". That should shed some light on the subject, if you can make heads or tails out of it, Good luck.
