My problem in a nutshell is this. I have a Dell USB/Audio front panel interface that I want to add to the front panel of my New Computer. Problem is that the Proprietary Dell cable’s interface connector end doesn’t match the pins on the new MoBo. I have pulled the wires/pins out of the connector and am ready to put the wires/pins into a connector that matches the pins on the MoBo but with the wires leading out of a 20 pin connector that houses the Audio and USB Cables and not being labeled I haven’t a clue what the wire configuration needs to be in the new connector. I know which pins are what on the MoBo I just don’t know which wire goes to which pin without knowing the identity of the wires leading from the connector on the Audio/USB Interface board.
I suppose what I am in need of is either a wiring schematic for the Dell System or if someone here can identify the wires or even point me in the right direction as to where I need to look for the information. I’d be appreciative of any help I get for sure.
Thanks

You may need to use a continuity tester to trace each wire. The USB port opening itself on the front of the case has to be as shown in the links. You should be able to SEE the colors coming off the port itself. Once you know which is ground, data & power you can use the Intel Directron chart to connect the USB. The Intel chart shows all the case connections.
