Additional USB port connectors

Something I've been trying to resolve for ages this one ..

My four USB ports on my ASUS A7N8X Motherboard work fine, conecing mouse,
scanner etc.

However I can't get the optional header on the motherboard to work (10-1 pin
USB_56). I try connecting it to a USB bracket mounted on the chassis, and
to the panel on the front of my Centurion case but neither work. I dont
even seem to be getting any power to the USB port - for example my bluetooth
dongle doesn't light up when plugged in.

I have USB 2.0 running fine.

Any clues?

Thanks

Have you made sure the pin order is correct some layout of the pins
are non standard check the MB manual to confirm this
