Add-On Cards, Cables, please make sure to unplug the onboard power connector. This section outlines how to install and configure your AK32V/AK32VN mainboard. Refer to the following mainboard layout to help you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and ports. Then follow these steps to guide you through a quick and correct instal- lation of your system.
Step 1 Install the CPU: 1. Locate the CPU ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket on the upper-right sector of your mainboard (between the back-panel connectors and the DIMM memory slots). 2. Pull the CPU ZIF socket lever slightly sideways away from the socket to unlock the lever, and then bring it to an upwardly vertical position.
Step 2. Set Jumpers This mainboard is jumperless! The default jumper settings have been set for the common usage standard of this mainboard. Therefore, you do not need to reset the jumpers unless you require special adjustments as in any of the following cases: 1.
Step 4 Install Internal Peripherals in System Case Before you install and connect the mainboard into your system case, we recommend that you first assemble all the internal peripheral devices into the computer housing, including but not limited to the hard disk drive (IDE /HDD), floppy disk drive (FDD), CD-ROM drive, and ATX power supply unit.
Step 5 Mount the Mainboard on the Computer Chassis 1. You may find that there are a lot of different mounting hole positions both on your computer chassis and on the mainboard. To choose a correct mounting hole, the key point is to keep the back-panel of the mainboard in a close fit with your system case, as shown below.
Step 6 Connect Front-Panel LEDs/Switch/USBs You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originating from computer's front-panel devices (MSG LED, HDD LED, PWR BTN, RST switch, or USB devices etc.). These cables serve to connect the front-panel LEDs, switch, and USB connectors to mainboard's front-panel connector groups (PANEL1 and USB3), as shown below.
Step 11 Connect External Peripherals to Back-Panel You are now ready to put the computer case back together and get on to the external peripherals connections to your system's back-panel. USB2 USBLAN1 PS/2 Mouse Port PS/2 Keyboard Port Parallel port COM1 Port LAN Port (AK32VN only) USB Ports...
Step 12 First Time System Boot Up To assure the completeness and correctness of your system installation, you may check the above installation steps once again before you boot up your system for the first time. 1. Insert a bootable system floppy disk (DOS 6.2x, Windows 95/98/NT, or others) which contains FDISK and FORMAT utilities into the FDD.
2000/ME/XP/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs. 1. Insert the AK32V/AK32VN bundled CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The autorun program will display the drivers main installation window on screen.
3.2 Jumper Settings Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to con- nect jumper pins to the mainboard. Pin #1 could be located at any corner of each jumper; you just find a location marked with a while right angle, which stands for pin1#.
Jumper & Connector Guide Use the mainboard layout on page 11 to locate CPU socket, memory slots, expansion slots, jumpers and connectors on the mainboard during installation. The following list will help you identify jumpers, slots, and connectors along with their assigned functions: B2~B3 B4~B5 B6~B8...

Jumpers Clear CMOS Setting (JP1) JP1 is used to clear CMOS data. Clearing CMOS will result in the perma- nently erasing previous system configuration settings and the restoring original(factory-set) system settings. Pin 1-2 (Default) Pin 2-3 (Clear CMOS) Step 1. Turn off the system power (PC-> Off). Step 2.
Back-Panel Connectors PS/2 Keyboard & PS/2 Mouse Connectors Two 6-pin female PS/2 keyboard & Mouse connectors are located at the rear panel PS/2 Mouse of mainboard. Depending on the com- puter housing you use (desktop or tower), the PS/2 Mouse connector is situated at the top of the PS/2 Keyboard connector when the mainboard is laid into a desk- PS/2 keyboard...
LAN Port Connector (AK32VN only) This mainboard can accommodate LAN Port one device on LAN. Attach a RJ45 cable to the LAN port at the back-panel of your computer. Line-in Port Line-In Line-In is a stereo line-level input port that accepts a 1/8-inch TRS stereo plug.
Front-Panel Connectors ATX Power On/Off Switch Connector (PWR) The Power On/Off Switch is a momentary type switch used for turning on or off the system ATX power supply. Attach the connector cable from the Power Switch to the 2-pin (PWR) header on the mainboard. Front Panel PANEL1 Note : Please notice all the LED connectors are directional.
MSG LED Connector (MSGLED) Connecting MSG LED a single- or dual-color, front panel mounted LED pro- vides power on/off, sleep and message waiting indication. Front Panel PANEL1 Note : Please notice all the LED connectors are directional. If your chassis’s LED does not light up during running, please change it to an opposite direction.
Front-Panel Audio Header (AUDIO1) This header allows users to install an auxiliary Front-Oriented Audio port for easier access. Either the Line-Out port connector on back-panel or Front- Panel Audio header is available at the same time. If you would like to use this header on front-panel, please remove all jumpers from the Audio header and install your special extra audio cable instead.
Internal Peripherals Connectors Enhanced IDE Ports and Floppy Connector The AK32V/AK32VN mainboard features two 40-pin dual-channel IDE device connectors (IDE1/IDE2) providing support to up to four IDE devices, such as CD-ROM and Hard Disk Drives (H.D.D.). This mainboard also includes one 34-pin floppy disk controller (FDC) to accommodate the Floppy Disk Drive (F.D.D.).
Other Connectors ATX Power Supply Connector (ATX1) Locate the 20-pin male header ATX power connector (ATX1) on your mainboard. Plug the power cable from the ATX power supply unit directly into ATX1 ATX power supply connector. Note 1: The ATX power connector is directional and will not go in unless the guides match perfectly making sure that pin#1 is properly positioned.
Cooling Fan Connectors - CPUFAN1 & CASFAN1 The mainboard provides two onboard 12V cooling fan power connectors to support CPU (CPUFAN1), and System (CASFAN1) cooling fans. +12V SENSE CPUFAN1 Note: Both cable wiring and type of plug may vary, which depends on the fan maker.
Speaker connector (SPK1) Attach the PC speaker cable from the case to the 4-pin speaker connector (SPK1). Pin Assignments: 1=Signal 2=NA 3=GND 4=VCC - 35 -...
3.3 System Memory Configuration AK32V/AK32VN mainboard has two 184-pin DIMM slots that allow you to install from 64MB up to 1GB of system memory.
