WIRE ASSIGNMENTS

cable color code
Blue: TPA +
Orange: TPA -
Green: TPB +
Red: TPB -
White: VP / Voltage + / VCC
Black: GND / Voltage -

The S-GND wire is fatter and can be easily recognized.
ieee 1394 port

HEADER CONNECTION GUIDES

Diagram 1: On most motherboards, the IEEE 1394 header/pinout consists of 9 pins arranged in 2 rows. Please note that, normally, there are 2 VP pins and 2 GND pins.
Diagram 2: Simply plug the connector onto the header, in such that; the color coded wires match correctly with the pin assignments. Please note that only 1 VP pin and 1 GND pin are connected. The additional VP and GND pins are for reserved purpose (no connection required).
The connection of S-GND wire is optional. If your port header does not have a S-GND pin, you can leave the S-GND wire unconnected.
You might have to rearrange the wires to match with the pin assignments, or change the header connector if necessary, depending on the layout of the port header.
1X8 PINS HEADER
Refer to the diagram below, to connect to the 1x8 pins header, simply change the header connector to 1x8, and rearrange the wires to connect to the correct pins.
connection guide 2
2X3 PINS HEADER
Refer to the diagram below, simply rearrange the wires and plug the 2x5 connector onto the header, and make sure that the wire assignments and pin assignments are matched correctly. If no S-GND pin is provided, you can leave the S-GND wire unconnected. Part of the 2x5 header connector can be left overhang outside the pinouts.
