3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Before removing or installing any of these devices including CPU, DIMMs, Add-On Cards, Cables, please make sure to unplug the onboard power connector. This section outlines how to install and configure your AK11 mainboard. Refer to the following mainboard layout to help you identify various jumpers, connectors, slots, and ports.
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 Switches/LEDs/Speaker/USB connectors You can find there are several different cables already existing in the system case and originating from the computer’s front-panel devices (HDD LED, Power LED, Reset Switch, PC Speaker, or USB devices etc.) These cables serve to connect the front-panel switches, LEDs, USB connectors to the mainboard's front-panel connectors group (J3 and JP14), as shown below.
Step 8 Connect Other Internal Peripherals 1. CD_IN, TAD_IN, and AUX_IN connectors JP10 CD_IN JP11 TAD I/O JP12 2. IR connector Step 9 Connect Power Supply 1. System power connector ATXPWR - 19 -...
Step 10 Install Add-on Cards in Expansion Slots 1. Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Card 2. Communication and Network Riser (CNR) Card The CNR Slot supports the audio, modem, Home PNA of VIA VT82C686B chipset. Note: The CNR Card is optional at the time of purchase.
Step 11 Connect External Peripherals to Back-Panel You are now ready to put the computer KEY BOA RD & M OUSE JP 8 case back together and get on to the USB P ORT external peripherals connections to COM2 JP 9 your system's back-panel.

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.
Step 13 Install Driver & Software Components Please note that all the system utilities and drivers are designed for Win 9x/ 2000/ME/NT operating systems only. Make sure your operating system is already installed before running the drivers installation CD-ROM programs. 1.
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: B3~B4 B5~B8 C1~C7...
