firewire front panel connector
I have this case that has a standard 6-pin firewire jack on the front
panel of the case. There is a cable that connects the firewire jack to a 6-pin header. I just bought a firewire card with 3 external ports and one internal port. All 4 ports terminate in the standard 6-pin jack. The cable is meant to connect to a firewire header usually found on a motherboard such as an Asus A7N8X Deluxe. If you use an Antec case, look for my reply in the 'Antec Sonata front panel ports' thread which will direct you to a possible solution that worked for me. Not quite sure if it will work with other case brands due to the header pin orientation. -- LiveWire |

Out of interest Craig, what make and model of firewire card did you buy? I
am/was looking for one with an internal port myself. ~ Adrian ~ |

I did it by replacing the cable header with a 928K-ND firewire connector plug
from Digi-Key. This requires some careful soldering. Craig M wrote: Hey guys, I may be thick today and hope some of you can help me.

I may be missing something obvious, but how do I connect the front panel to the internal port using the supplied cable? |
