Can I simply remove the extra pin on the motherboard or is there a compatible adapter to connect my cases USB? Thanks, Ed.

Let me clarify the steps I need to take. I should explain my intentions more thoroughly. Please note that removing all components from a brand new board will cancel any warranty coverage. It would be best if you specify which connector you're interested in and provide details about your motherboard's make and model.

I need to connect my cases with a front-facing USB port. They have USB 1.1 headers as described in the manual: +5V 1 2 +5V, Data - 3 4 Data-, Data + 5 6 Data+, GND 7 8 GND, GND 9 10 GND. It's an older Tyan s2882d model. Thanks.

Only eight pins are utilized. In newer microcontrollers, it's typically a nine-pin header, with an additional pin serving to position the connector correctly or to attach a cable shield. The extra pins are located on the side, specifically the black negative/ground pin.

Connect the 9-pin connector from the case to the 10-pin header of the MB as specified.

It's merely a physical issue. The 10th pin's hole in the connector is likely just empty, with no hole and no wire inside. There are two choices:
1. Drill a small hole at the blanked area.
2. Cut off the pin where the blank hole is located.
