Practical hardware knowledge How to determine the wiring sequence of USB and other interfaces When we install a new machine, the connection of the USB cable and the installation of the audio cable can be done without spending too much time as long as we refer to the motherboard manual. However, if you are repairing an old machine or some branded machines, there will definitely be no manual, but the machine has replaced the motherboard, or the motherboard needs to be removed during the inspection, and you yourself have not carefully remembered the connection of these lines. How should you connect these connections correctly? You will never look for the user manual of the motherboard, right? What\'s more, the motherboards of branded machines are all OEM products, and some do not have specific models at all. How to find the user manual of the motherboard? However, we can use a multimeter to detect the correct connection method based on the characteristics of these connections. The USB cable has the most plug methods, including six pins, eight pins, nine pins, and ten pins, but because the USB cable uses +5V power supply and ground wire, this helps us to determine its correct definition. Because the computer will emit a large amount of electromagnetic waves with a wide frequency band into the air during use, in order to prevent these electromagnetic waves from interfering with other household appliances, all-steel chassis are used, and the chassis is grounded. There is another point that everyone needs to understand. Not only is the chassis grounded, but the chassis is also the secondary power ground of the switching power supply, which is what we usually call the \"negative power supply\". So when we determine the ground of the USB interface, just put the multimeter in the *1 gear or the conduction gear, and test which pin in the USB interface is connected to the chassis, so that we can immediately determine the ground wire. As long as the ground wire is known, the one separated by two pins is the \"positive power supply\", that is, the VCC terminal. The rest can be arranged according to the position. If you are still not assured, we can continue to determine the positive power supply. Because the +5V power supply used by USB is supplied by the +5V (red) or +5VSB (purple) of the ATX20-pin power plug, just measure which pin is connected to the red or purple of the ATX power supply. However, the USB power supply of some motherboards is not directly supplied, but controlled by a triode. At this time, the pin that is the same as the fuse resistor of the USB interface can be measured, which is the positive power supply. In the six-pin USB interface, the positive power supply and the power ground are shared. The nine-pin and ten-pin USB ports have nine empty pins for positioning to prevent the USB port from being reversed and burning the motherboard. Front headset port Front headset port...
