SD port
« on: May 08, 2013, 11:15:08 am »
Helloo,
I just bought my new case Silencio 650,
there is a port for SD memory cards but I dont know how to make it work.
Does it want some internal connection?

Usually internal card readers supplied with PC cases need to be connected to an available USB header on the motherboard.

So, it is that strange cable(in the shape of 'speaker') with 4 holes which labeled as "USB"?
I have connected the normal usb2&3 cables.

Where do I connect this cable onto 970A-UD3?

You need to connect it to one of the headers labelled F_USB1, F_USB2 or F_USB3 along the bottom of the motherboard.

Because the Card reader only has a 4 pin connector you need to be careful when you attach it to the USB header to make sure the connectors are in the right position. Check your User's manual, as this will show you the correct pin layout for the USB headers, so you can get the polarity correct with the connector from the card reader..

U tell me to connect it in the same port with USB 2.0?
But as u know these ports have more than 4 pins. Which 4 of them do I connect?
(Mobo's manual says nothing about)

You might do better asking Coolermaster as they have supplied the case.

A search on Google for 4 pin usb connector to 9 pin header will also produce results that should help.

Only CoolerMaster has SD port in cases?
Does CoolerMaster use a special/different cable?
