I'm trying to merge the components of two different computers and plan to install a front USB panel on the final product. I have the panel, but I can't find the manual for the original motherboard that the panel came from. It's a micro star 6185 if I'm not mistaken, and if someone either knows in detail how to connect a usb/audio panel to an asus a7v133 or can find a manual for the mobo i would really appreciate it.

to be honest, i should have mentioned that i have that manual. I need the other one, but thank you.

You said you need either the manual for the USB header or the mobo.
I'm not sure why you would need a manual for the USB header though. Mounting it should be obvious and straight forward and the plug for it to connect to the mobo only goes on one way.

I can't find anything for a "micro star 6185". What exactly is this? Is this the mobo or the USB/audio header or what? If it is the mobo look on the board for a printing of where it should say what the mobo model number if.
While trying to do a search in Google, MSI came up however they still didn't have anything exact because there must be something more to the model number than just 6185.

The model number seems to be just that, but it doesn't really matter anymore. I grew tired of trying to find how the chords need to be connected and just started splicing wires. And yes, the motherboard is the same and can only go one way, but this panel has USB and audio and two rows of about 12 pins on it. That's what makes it difficult. No matter though, I got it to work once, and I can make it work permanently. Thank you anyway.
