3.5 Rewiring Motherboard Header Connections
There may come a time that you need to reconfigure the pin-out of a motherboard header connector.
Examples could be for your USB header, audio input header, or some other front panel connector such
as the Power Button connector.
Before performing any work, please refer to your motherboard manual or your motherboard
manufacturer's website to be sure of the pin-out needed for your connector. And we strongly
recommend making a notated drawing before beginning work so that you can recover if your work gets
disturbed.
1. Determine which wires you need to remove in
order to rewire your plug to match the USB pin-outs
on your motherboard (refer to your motherboard
manual). Working on one connector at a time, use
a very small flathead screwdriver or similar tool to
lift up on the black tab located beside the gold
posts (squares). This will allow you to easily slide
out the pins from the USB plug.
2. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires,
connectors, or pins, slowly remove the pin from
the connector. Repeat these steps for each wire
you need to change.
3. Working carefully so as not to damage the wires,
connectors or pins, slowly reinsert the pin into
the correct slot of the connector, then snap
closed the black tab that was lifted in step 1.
Repeat these steps for each wire you need to
change.
