How can I convert from the standard USB header to non-standard? (pic)

[Hack&Lube]

Okay, my motherboard is out of USB headers, there is only one of the standard 9 pin + key USB headers but there are two of the white 5 pin style headers.

Here's the pinout diagram:


Is it possible to convert a USB header plug designed for the standard header to fit on the 5 pin header here? Would I need to move wires around? Which pins correspond to which? They seem to match up if I connect the header backwards. Is it safe to plug it straight in?

Definately

VCC = USBPWR

Data0- = USBD-

Data0+ = USBD+

Ground = GND

9/10 are just for key usage for preformed connector blocks.

The 10-pin is just a 2 connector (usually used for the front USB) while the 2 5-pins are for singles.

Thanks, I realized that yesterday but I tried pushing the connector in and they are totally different sizes

USB 3/4 are more like the size of floppy connectors with smaller pins. It won't work unless I find the right connector and I have no idea what it is called.

You can always grab a cheap USB PCI card and toss it in, or even a cheap powered-USB hub
