FireWire connectors on motherboard.
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 8:26 am
i just recently had my motherboard replaced with Asus A7N8X-Deluxe with Nvidia nForce2 chipset.
according to Asus website this motherboard comes with FireWire. but there are no FireWire connectors on the back IO.
there are 2 connectors (called 'headers' in the manual) for FireWire on the motherboard itself.
according to the manual, the motherboard was supposed to come with what they call a 'bracket', it's like the metal back side of a PCI card (fits into the PCI slot at the back of the case) and i guess that's supposed to connect to the header on the motherboard, and thus give me my FireWire connector. (had the same thing with USB sockets on my previous Asus board).
however i didn't get this 'bracket' with the motherboard.
my question is: are these 'brackets' a standard thing, not proprietary Asus, and i can buy such a thing separately?
are these 'headers' on the motherboard standard? i was thinking this is what must connect to FireWire sockets on cases that have such connectors on the front panel.
TIA
