That's what I would have guessed too, but there are several things
labeled USB on the motherboard, and this cable doesn't connect to any
of them.  

The choices in the "Connecting Optional Devices" section of the
motherboard manual seem to be:

            Audio1
            CD_IN
            SATA1/2/3/4
            SPDIF out header
            TV_OUT
            COM2
            1394A2
            USB3/4
            AUX_IN

The only one of those that the connector seems to fit on is AUX_IN,
and that doesn't sound right.  (And I think I tested it anyway and it
doesn't work.)
