I believe you had to use some kind of bracket that was sold with the board. If I were you I'd try to figure out where's the + and the - and then try to figure out which pin is D+ and which pin is D- by trial and error.

Then tell us which pins are which 😀

I see that explains the lack of information. I shall work it out and let you all know 😁.

Thank you ,

Are you sure that the motherboard model is (Abit AB-IT 5V)? I can't find it anywhere.

yeah although It's not an easy one to find. I found the manual here
https://www.manualslib.com/products/Abit-Ab-I … 5v-9615731.html

We have it on trw https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/103

By the way would you like to help us and send us a good picture of the motherboard ? (With just the board, no cables in the way, no cards, etc and good lighting) ?

Motherboard

Thanks !

Sorry for necro post, but I have reverse engineered the pinout on my AB-SM5 and somebody may find it useful.

1(+5V)  1 | 2  (KEY)
2(D1-)  3 | 4  (GND)
3(D1+)  5 | 6  (GND)
4(GND)  7 | 8  (GND)
5(+5V)  9 | 10 (GND)
6(D2-) 11 | 12 (GND)
7(D2+) 13 | 14 (GND)
8(GND) 15 | 16 (GND)

This should be applicable to these Abit motherboards (and probably some more):

AB-IT5H
AB-IT5V
AB-SM5
AB-PX5

This is indeed applicable on an AB-PX5 motherboard as well. Found it on a Google forum first but this is an even better overview of the pinout. Thanks.

Glad you found it useful.
