Early 08 Mac Pro Sata to Usb Header

[sickr1rider]

First, I am sorry if this has been covered already trust me I have searched. My power button and led are straight wired into my mobo and are working perfectly.

I am now wanting to get the usb ports working (could care less about firewire/3.5mm at this point). Early 08 Mac Pro Front Panel

Do I need power running to the front panel or just a simple sata to usb header cable?

I have searched aqua macs pinouts and have unsuccessfully tried to make the cable, which my data cable was a bit different than the one shown.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

You need to provide all power to the panel through the USB looking plug at the top of it. Look for diagrams as to what goes where. I got all my power from the ATX connector on the motherboard. Your feeding the data to the motherboard, from the USBs, through the SATA->USB cable.

Hope that helps.
