However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-

sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,

the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

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

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for instal-

lation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis

before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufac-

turer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.

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 integrated AMD HD graphics for graphics intensive applications delivers ex-

ceptional 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports HDMI, VGA, and LVDS inter-

faces.

CompactFlash

The system board is equipped with the CompactFlash

TM

socket for inserting a

CompactFlash

TM

card. CompactFlash

TM

card is a small removable mass storage

device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile storage solution that does

not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash

TM

technology

is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam-

eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and

personal communicators.

Audio

The Realtek ALC886 audio codec provides 7.1-channel High Definition audio out-

put.

Serial ATA

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specifica-

tion. SATA 3.0 supports speed up to 6Gb/s while SATA 2.0 supports speed up to

3Gb/s. This improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel

ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

Gigabit LAN

The Realtek RTL8111DL PCI Express Gigabit controllers support up to 1Gbps data

transmission.

1

12

Introduction

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-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-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.

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.

1

13

Introduction

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 DIM Module

Note:

The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble

the actual one. These illustrations are for reference only.

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 system board.

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

the socket in only one direction.

Hardware Installation

6. Push down the module until the clips at each end of the socket lock into

position. You will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the module is correctly

locked into position.

Clip

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

proximately 30 degrees angle. Apply ﬁ rm even pressure to each end of the

module until it slips down into the socket. The contact ﬁ ngers on the edge of

the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.

If you encounter the following,

a) CMOS data becomes corrupted.

b) You forgot the supervisor or user password.

you can reconﬁ gure the system with the default values stored in the ROM BIOS.

To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow the steps below.

1. Power-off the system and unplug the power cord.

2. Set JP1 pins 2 and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set JP1 back to its

default setting, pins 1 and 2 On.
