Hi all, long time user of Tom's Hardware, first time poster.
I recently purchased the Asus P4P800 deluxe mobo with a Chieftec Server Chasis with the front panel USB2.0 and IEEE1394 ports.
The board's connector has 9 pins and is set up like this:
Top Row: TPA0-, GND, TPB0-, +12v, GND
2nd Row: TPA0+, GND, TPB0+, +12v, <no pin>
The case's firewire connector has only 6 pins that read:
VP, VG, TPB-, TPB+, TPA-, TPA+
Can someone please help me with this connection? It seems apparent that the twisted pair connections match up but I'm not sure which +12v to connect VP nor which ground to connect VG
As I understand (could be wrong) the difference in the connections is due to differences in IEEE1394 standards but that the board should still be backwards compatible with the cases older connection?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Geoff
