[SOLVED] wireless bluetooth pcie card needs usb 9 pin but only has 2 cords connected

[benjos909]

I have just purchased a pcie wireless/bluetooth card and it has a connector that goes to the usb 9 pin. The problem is, my motherboard only has 1 9 pin and 1 4 pin, and the case usb ports also have a 9 pin connector. Now, i have noticed that there is only 2 wires connected in the 9 pin female connector that came with my pcie card, so can i plug it into the 4 pin? that would save me from trying to purchase a splitter or going without usb ports in the front of my case

Can you link to the exact wifi card you bought?

Actually i have found a resolution. So, my computer had a 4 pin usb 2.0 socket and a 9 pin usb 2.0 port. My case usb connected to the 9 pin. It seems that there are cords with most of the pcie Bluetooth cards. The thing is, mine came with a 9 pin connection. It turns out, there were only 2 wires connected to 2 of the slots, data+ and data- so i was able to insert the cord into the right pins and salvage the situation without purchasing any additional cords. Just make sure to look at your motherboard diagram or google to make sure that you get the positive with the positive and vice versa.
