2. Installation

This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7" x 6.7", 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

1.Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2.To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle components.

3.Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4.Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

DIMM slots.

1.It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.

2.Please install the memory module from DDR3_A2 slot for the first priority.

Installing a SO-DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Step 2. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM

matches the break on the slot.

notch

break

notch

break

The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SODIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

1.3 Einstellung der Jumper

Die Abbildung verdeutlicht, wie Jumper gesetzt werden. Werden Pins durch Jumperkappen verdeckt, ist der Jumper “Gebrückt”. Werden keine Pins durch Jumperkappen verdeckt, ist der Jumper “Offen”. Die Abbildung zeigt einen 3-Pin Jumper dessen Pin1 und Pin2 “Gebrückt” sind, bzw. es befindet sich eine

Jumper-Kappe auf diesen beiden Pins.

Dieses Interface zu einem Audio-Panel auf der Vorder seite Ihres Gehäuses, ermöglicht Ihnen eine bequeme Anschlussmöglichkeit und Kontrolle über Audio-Geräte.

1.High Definition Audio unterstützt Jack Sensing (automatische Erkennung falsch angeschlossener Geräte), wobei jedoch die Bildschirmverdrahtung am Gehäuse HDA unterstützen muss, um richtig zu funktionieren.

Beachten Sie bei der Installation im System die Anweisungen in unserem Handbuch und im Gehäusehandbuch.

2.Wenn Sie die AC’97-Audioleiste verwenden, installieren Sie diese wie nachstehend beschrieben an der Front-Audioanschlussleiste:

A.Schließen Sie Mic_IN (MIC) an MIC2_L an.

B.Schließen Sie Audio_R (RIN) an OUT2_R und Audio_L (LIN) an OUT2_L an.

C.Schließen Sie Ground (GND) an Ground (GND) an.

D.MIC_RET und OUT_RET sind nur für den HD-Audioanschluss gedacht. Diese Anschlüsse müssen nicht an die AC’97-Audioleiste angeschlossen werden.

E.So aktivieren Sie das Mikrofon an der Vorderseite.

Wählen Sie im Realtek-Bedienfeld die „FrontMic“ (Vorderes Mikrofon)- Registerkarte. Passen Sie die „Recording Volume“ (Aufnahmelautstärke) an.

System Panel-Header	Dieser Header unterstützt
(9-pin PANEL1)	mehrere Funktion der
(siehe S.2 - No. 11)	Systemvorderseite.

Schließen Sie die Ein-/Austaste, die Reset-Taste und die Systemstatusanzeige am Gehäuse an diesen Header an; befolgen Sie dabei die nachstehenden Hinweise zur Pinbelegung. Beachten Sie die positiven und negativen Pins, bevor Sie die Kabel anschließen.

PWRBTN (Ein-/Ausschalter):

Zum Anschließen des Ein-/Ausschalters an der Frontblende des Gehäu ses. Sie können konfigurieren, wie das System mit Hilfe des

Ein-/Ausschalters ausgeschaltet werden können soll.

RESET (Reset-Taste):

Zum Anschließen der Reset-Taste an der Frontblende des Gehäuses. Mit der Reset-Taste können Sie den Computer im Falle eines Absturzes neu starten.

PLED (Systembetriebs-LED):

Zum Anschließen der Betriebsstatusanzeige an der Frontblende des Gehäuses. Die LED leuchtet, wenn das System in Betrieb ist. Die

LED blinkt, wenn sich das System im Ruhezustand S1 befindet. Die LED schaltet sich aus, wenn sich das System in den Modi S3/S4 befindet oder ausgeschaltet ist (S5).

HDLED (Festplattenaktivitäts-LED):

Zum Anschließen der Festplattenaktivitäts-LED an der Frontblende des Gehäuses. Die LED leuchtet, wenn die Festplatte Daten liest oder schreibt.

Das Design der Frontblende kann je nach Gehäuse variiere. Ein Frontblendenmodul besteht hauptsächlich aus einer Ein-/Austaste, einer Reset-Taste, einer Betriebs-LED, einer Festplattenaktivitäts-LED, Lautsprechern, etc. Stellen Sie beim Anschließen des Frontblendenmoduls Ihres Gehäuses an diesem Header sicher, dass die Kabelund Pinbelegung korrekt übereinstimmen.

2. BIOS-Information

Das Flash Memory dieses Motherboards speichert das Setup-Utility. Drücken Sie <F2> oder <Del> während des POST (Power-On-Self-Test) um ins Setup zu gelangen, ansonsten werden die Testroutinen weiter abgearbeitet. Wenn Sie ins Setup gelangen wollen, nachdem der POST durchgeführt wurde, müssen Sie das System über die Tastenkombination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete> oder den Reset-Knopf auf der Gehäusevorderseite, neu starten. Natürlich können Sie einen Neustart auch durchführen, indem Sie das System kurz abund danach wieder anschalten.

Das Setup-Programm ist für eine bequeme Bedienung entwickelt worden. Es ist ein menügesteuertes Programm, in dem Sie durch unterschiedliche Untermenüs scrollen und die vorab festgelegten Optionen auswählen können. Für detaillierte Informationen zum BIOS-Setup, siehe bitte das Benutzerhandbuch (PDF Datei) auf der Support CD.

3. Software Support CD information

Dieses Motherboard unterstützt eine Reiche von Microsoft® Windows® Betriebssystemen: 7 32-Bit. Die Ihrem Motherboard beigefügte Support-CD enthält hilfreiche Software, Treiber und Hilfsprogramme, mit denen Sie die Funktionen Ihres Motherboards verbessern können Legen Sie die Support-CD zunächst in Ihr CD-ROM- Laufwerk ein. Der Willkommensbildschirm mit den Installationsmenüs der CD wird automatisch aufgerufen, wenn Sie die “Autorun”-Funktion Ihres Systems aktiviert haben.

Erscheint der Wilkommensbildschirm nicht, so “doppelklicken” Sie bitte auf das File ASSETUP.EXE im BIN-Verzeichnis der Support-CD, um die Menüs aufzurufen. Das Setup-Programm soll es Ihnen so leicht wie möglich machen. Es ist menügesteuert, d.h.
