1.7Functional Description
Processor Support
The M-322 is designed for Intel Yorkfield/Wolfdale/Conroe quad,
dual and single core processors in LGA775 socket with core frequencies from 1.8 GHz up to 3.0 GHz. The CPU connects with the
Intel® Q35 GMCH through a 2 GB/s DMI interface.
Intel® Q35 Express Chipset
The Intel® Q35 Express chipset (Q35 GMHC + ICH9DO) provides
the vital interfaces for the SHB. The Intel® Q35 comes with purpose-built capabilities designed specifically to address the key
needs of the industrial computing environment, delivers improved
system performance and comes with the integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 engine for cost-effective system building. The chipset also supports high-bandwidth interfaces including
PCI Express, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0, as well as dual-channel
DDR2 system memory.
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3100 revolutionizes
integrated graphics with new capabilities that provide significant
increase in graphics performance. With support for DirectX 9 hardware acceleration, core frequency of 400 MHz, and up to 256 MB
of video memory, the Intel GMA 3100 provides a cost-effective
and high-performance graphics solution.
Dual-Channel DDR2 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
M-322 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR2
667/800 MHz DIMMs. The high-bandwidth memory specification,
meets the requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and
network application, and boosts system performance by
eliminating bottlenecks.
Introduction 7
Page 22
Gigabit Ethernet
The M-322 uses two Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit Ethernet controllers connected to the PCI-E x1 bus of the ICH9DO. Operation at
data rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps, Wake on LAN are supported.
Serial ATA
Storage is efficient and secure with the Serial ATA interface. Utilizing the Intel® ICH9DO, the M-322 supports up to six Serial ATA
devices capable of reading/writing data at up to 3 Gbps. Intel®
Matrix Storage Technology provides support for RAID 0/1/5/10.
Hardware Monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system monitors the
CPU temperature, system fan rotations, and voltage levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect timely failure
detection, and ensure stable su pply of current for critical components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for different time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog genera tes a reboot.
Trusted Platform Module
The M-322 supports TPM ver. 1.2 (Trusted Platform Module) for
secure storage of keys, passwords and digital certificates. Systems supporting TPM offer improved hardware-based security in
numerous applications, such as file and folder encryption, local
password management, S-MIME e-mail, VPN and PKI authentication and wireless authentication for 802.1x and LEAP.

CAUTION:
The following CPU fan and heatsink assembly is recommended
for use with the M-322:
When the CPU fan installation procedures presented here are
inconsistent with the installation procedures you obtained from the
CPU fan and heatsink package, follow the latter.
CPU fan and heatsink must be installed before using the motherboard. Failure to install a CPU fan and heatsink may damage
the motherboard and/or the CPU.

Noise level: 49 dBA
Part number: 32-20086-0000
To install the CPU fan:
1. Apply thermal grease evenly on top of the installed CPU.
2. Lower the CPU fan to the CPU, then secure it using the
provided attachments or screws.
Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the
motherboard labeled CPU_FAN (see Figure 1-2 on page 9

3.3System Memory
The M-322 supports up to 8 GB of DDR2 667/800 MHz memory
modules in four DIMM sockets. DDR2 modules are notched to
facilitate correct installation in the DIMM sockets. See Figure 1-2
on page 9 for DIMM socket locations.
Memory Configurations
Dual channel configuration is supported by the M-322 as follows:
Channel A: DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2
Channel B: DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2
Unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs with capacities of 256 MB,
512 MB, 1 GB and 2GB can be installed into the DIMM sockets as
follows:
X Memory modules of varying sizes may be installed in Channel
A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the channel with the lowest capacity for dual-channel configuration. Any
excess memory from the channel with higher capacity is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
X Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency . For optim um
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
X Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less
than 4 GB system memory when four 1 GB DDR2 memory
modules are installed. This limitation occurs in Windows® XP
32-bit operation system, which does not support Physical
Address Extension (PAE).
X The M-302 does not support memory modules with 128 Mb
chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
Memory Module Installation
The DDR2 memory modules are notched to facilitate correct
installation in the DIMM sockets.

4BIOS Setup
The following chapter describes basic navigation for the
AMIBIOS®8 BIOS setup utility.
4.1Starting the BIOS
To enter the setup screen, follow these steps:
1. Power on the motherboard
2. Press the < Delete > key on your keyboard when you
see the following text prompt:
< Press DEL to run Setup >
3. After you press the < Delete > key, the main BIOS setup
menu displays. You can access the other setup screens
from the main BIOS setup menu , such as Chipset and
Power menus.
M-322
Note: In most cases, the < Delete > key is used to invoke the setup
screen. There are several cases that use other keys, such as
< F1 >, < F2 >, and so on.
BIOS Setup 37
Page 52
Setup Menu
The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main BIOS setup menu option is described in this
user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left
frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayed”
options cannot be configured, “Blue” options can be.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is
an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected
in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will
accompany it.
Navigation
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called
hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at
any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include < F1 >, < F10 >, < Enter >, < ESC >, < Arrow >
keys, and so on. .
38BIOS Setup
Page 53
M-322
Note: There is a hot key legend located in the r ight frame on most
setup screens.
The < F8 > key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings
of the BIOS, press the < F8 > key on your keyboard. It is located
on the upper row of a standard 101 keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least amount of
options set. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.
