Memory

The DIMM slot is intended for system memory modules.

Installing Memory Modules

1. Locate the SO-DIMM slot on the mainboard.

2. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on the slot. Insert the DIMM at a 45

degrees into the SO-DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the

DIMM is deeply inserted in the SO-DIMM slot. Push the module towards the

board until it is horizontal with the board.

3. Manually check if the DIMM has been locked in place by the retaining clips at

the sides.

Power Supply

System Power Connector: ATX1

This connector allows you to connect a 20-pin power supply. To connect the power

supply, make sure the power supply connector is inserted in the proper orientation

and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the

connector.

Serial Port

The serial port is a 16550A high speed communications port that sends/ receives

16 bytes FIFOs. You can attach a serial mouse or other serial devices directly to

the connector.

VGA Port

The DB15-pin female connector is provided for monitor.

USB Port

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is for attaching USB devices such as

keyboard, mouse, or other USB-compatible devices.

LAN

The standard RJ-45 LAN jack is for

connection to the Local Area Network

(LAN). You can connect a network

cable to it.

Audio Ports

These audio connectors are used for audio devices. You can differentiate the color

of the audio jacks for different audio sound effects.

 Line-Out (Green) -Line Out, is a connector for speakers or headphones.

 Mic (Pink) -Mic, is a connector for microphones.

Connector

IDE Connector: IDE1

This connector supports IDE hard disk drives, optical disk drives and other IDE

devices.

If you install two IDE devices on the same cable, you must configure the drives

separately to master / slave mode by setting jumpers. Refer to IDE device’s

documentation supplied by the vendors for jumper setting instructions.

Chassis Intrusion Connector: JCI1

This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the chassis is

opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record

this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you

must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.

Serial ATA Connector: SATA1, SATA2

This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can

connect to one Serial ATA device.

Please do not fold the Serial ATA cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data

loss may occur during transmission.

SPI Flash ROM Header: JSPI1

This header is used to flash SPI flash ROM.

Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1

The fan power connector supports system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting

the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should

be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to

GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must

use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan

control.

Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at CPU vendor’s official website

or consult the mainboard vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.

Backlight Connector: J1

This connector is provided for LCD backlight options.

Front USB Header: JUSB1

This header, compliant with Intel

®

I/O Connectivity Design Guide, is ideal for

connecting high-speed USB interface peripherals such as USB HDD, digital

cameras, MP3 players, printers, modems and the like.
