Where does a 1394 cable go?

[NBaxter]

It came with the case and I believe it's to do with the USB 3.0's on the front but I can't find anywhere to put it on my mobo. (Maximus VI hero) would it go In the USB 1314 slot? (The cable says 1394 on it).

Thanks.

Ok, however where do I put the cable as there isn't a slot? Or does my mobo not support it?

The Maximus hero doesn't have a 1394 port. There's nowhere to plug that in.

Is there any additional thing I could buy to get it running?

There may be an adapter out there to make it work but I doubt you will actually ever need it. It's not to power your USB 3.0 ports. There should be USB plug for that. I expect it's for a firewire port on your front panel which you probably don't need. Firewire is outdated technology. There's very little use for it any more.

Weird I can't find the wire for USB 3.0 on the front loose, I believe it's plugged in but not working. Not a great loss, have more on back just hard to reach. Thanks for the replies.
