Introduction

Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components

or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical dis-

charge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical

damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electro-

static build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag

until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the compo-

nents, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold

modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and

other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described

at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can

provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and

attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is

unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis

throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Safety Measures

Introduction

Features

Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the sys-

tem at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset

at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate.

DDR3

DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. It offers

peak data transfer rate of up to 21 Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of DDR3

are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than

DDR2.

Graphics

The Intel northbridge chip comes integrated with the Intel Graphics Media Ac-

celerator 4500 delivering an excellent blend of graphics performance and features

to meet business needs. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0

and OpenGL* 2.0, Intel GMA 4500 delivers excellent video and 3D graphics with

outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the perfor-

mance and compatibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications.

DVI

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to

maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics

cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig-

naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to

the display.

LVDS

TheIntel SCH supportsaLow-VoltageDifferentialSignaling(LVDS)interfacethat

allows the Intel Graphics Media Adapter to communicate directly to the flat-panel

display.TheLVDSinterfacesupportspixelcolordepthsof18and24bits.

PCI Express

PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to

scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x4 PCI Express lane supports trans-

fer rate of 1 Gigabyte per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a

high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI

Express lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.

13

Introduction

S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio sig-

nals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This

prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT

machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board

sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers

and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

Serial ATA

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.

With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the

standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

Gigabit LAN

The PCI Express Gigabit controllers support up to 1Gbps data transmission.

USB

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/

second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a

marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a

wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

Wake-On-Ring

This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft Power Off

mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming from an external modem

or respond to calls from a modem PCI card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man-

agement Event) signal to remotely wake up the PC.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥720mA.

1

14

Introduction

Wake-On-LAN

This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-

Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses

the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the

Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA inter-

rupt.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥720mA.

Wake-On-PS/2

This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on

the system.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥720mA.

Wake-On-USB

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a sys-

tem from the S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

Important:

If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB

ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your

powersupplymustsupport≥2A.

RTC Timer

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically pow-

er-on on the set date and time.

1

15

Introduction

ACPI STR

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and

Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs

to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that

support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Manage-

ment Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at

once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down

Windows

®

without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of

closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is

capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session

into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will

resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

Important:

The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support

≥720mA.

Power Failure Recovery

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-

on the system manually or let the system power-on automatically.

Hardware Installation

Installing the SODIMM

1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been

powered down.

2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.

3. Locate the SODIMM socket on the board.

4. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into

the socket in only one way.

5. Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an

approximately 30 degrees angle. Note that the socket and module are both

keyed, which means the module can be plugged into the socket in only one

direction.
