FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communi-

cations. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television 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 meas-

ures:

• 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.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority

to operate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with

the emission limits.

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 discharge can damage computer components

without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra

care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the 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 components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connec-

tors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor,

disk drive and other components. Perform the upgrade in-

struction 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 requir-

ing 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 installation or servicing. After installation or servicing,

cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Introduction

The Watchdog Timer function allows your

application to regularly “clear” the system 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.

DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology

whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3

GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-

tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2

SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory

voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations

such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-

fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.

The integrated graphics delivers exceptional 3D

graphics performance.

The Realtek RTL8111C PCI Express Gigabit

controller supports up to 1Gbps data

transmission.

Hardware Installation

Installing SODIMM

Note:

The board used in the following illustrations may not resemble

the actual board. 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 board.

4. Note the key on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the

module can be plugged into the socket in only one way.

5. Grasping the module by its edges, insert 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.

6. To seat the module into the socket, apply firm even pressure to

each end of the module until it slips down into the socket. The

contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely

disappear inside the socket.

7. Push down the module until the clips at each side of the socket

lock into position. You will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the

module is correctly locked into position.

ClipClip

8. To remove the module, simultaneously push the retaining clips

outward to unlock the module.

Jumper Settings

If you encounter the following,

a) CMOS data becomes corrupted.

b) You forgot the supervisor or user password.

you can reconfigure 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.

3. Now plug the power cord and power-on the system.
