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 16Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of DDR3
are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than
DDR2.
Graphics
The integrated Intel HD graphics for graphics intensive applications delivers ex-
ceptional 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports the VGA interface.
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to
scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The PCI Express architecture also pro-
vides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a
x16 PCI Express lane to provide 8 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.
Audio
The Realtek ALC262 audio codec provides 2-channel High Definition audio output.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

System Memory
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor,
disk drives, add-in boards, 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 pro-
tection.

Standby
Power LED
Important:
When the Standby Power LED lit red, it indicates that there is power on
the system board. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to
installing any devices. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the
motherboard and components.
Features
The two DIMM sockets are divided into two channels:
Channel A - DDR3_1
Channel B - DDR3_2
Dual channel memory interface
Maximum of 16GB system memory

2
Hardware Installation
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or com-
pletely different. However, we highly recommend
using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
DIMMs of the same memory con guration are
on different channels.
Single Channel
Dual Channel
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual
channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer
rate.
Important:
1. You can populate either Channel A or Channel B rst.
2. If you intend to use dual channel, populate DDR3_1 and DDR3_2
the same rule applies - always the socket farthest the CPU.
