Thanks for the info. Mine has two sets of 4 pins. Looks like the local electronics shop has a Belkin one. Thanks.

>Most of the AT style motherboards had a 4 or 5 pin header above the PCI slots. You need the optional cable adapter. It looks like the cable adapter at this link.

>With this optional cable adapter, you slip the 5-pin connector onto the 5 pin header and then put the slot end of the cable into an open chassis slot on the back. You may then have to enable USB in your BIOS as well.
