usb pinout question

I just got my new display but I am having trouble locating where to insert the pins for the usb internal connection.
The usb connection on my motherboard states that there are (2) USB+5V, USB_P5+, USB_P5-, USB_p6+, USB_P6-, (2) GND, and NC.
I figure it doesn't matter which power or ground I connect the pins to. But i'm unsure where to place the D+ and D- pins.

Hi midna,

Here is how you should hook up the internal usb cable to the display.

+5V goes to USB+5
D- goes to USB_P5-
D+ goes to USB_P5+
Gnd goes to Gnd

or

+5V goes to USB+5
D- goes to USB_P6-
D+ goes to USB_P6+
Gnd goes to Gnd

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post.

Best Regards,

Awesome, works perfectly. I thought it didn't matter much between p5/p6 as long as i was consistant and used the matching polarization, but I didn't want to fry my nice new display :P
