Can I trust case-front 1394 connector on chieftech BX

Hi all!

I've read some horror-stories about faulty cabling for Firewire ports,
that has destroyed equipment for some people.
Can I trust the front-panel connector on my newly purchased Chieftech BX
case to be wired correctly, or should I use the ASUS-supplied backpanel
bracket instead?
I mean. I don't wanna fry my brand new A8V MoBo the first time I fire it up.

Hoping for a quick correct answer, as I'm sitting here right now with
the PSU powercord in one hand and the extender from the wall outlet in
the other.

TIA /Ola J

Use the Asus adapter.

If you own a multimeter, then test the case wiring before using it.
Firewire devices are too expensive to risk on incorrect case wiring.
