Optiplex 5050 SFF - Onboard USB header
Hi guys,
I've recently added a PCIe wifi card to my trusty old 5050. No issues but I was wondering about the onboard USB header - is it compatible in any way with the pictured cable, from the wifi card that would give me BT?
Thoughts?

Yes, that should work. Connecting your 9-pin connector to the motherboard header by matching up the keyed pin (missing pin on connector to missing pin on header).

I think the motherboard header is 12 pin and my cable is 8.
