WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including

adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using

third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system’s stability, or

even cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be

done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage

caused by overclocking.

CAUTION!

1. About the settings of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page

32.

2. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 7 /

VistaTM / XP. For Windows® OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limita-

tion.

3. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the moth-

erboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it back

again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC system.

Chapter 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 conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

2.1 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. 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. In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s

components, NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet.

Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety

grounded object before you handle the components.

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

4. Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded

anti-static pad or in the bag that comes with the components.

5. When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis,

please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the

motherboard.

2.2 Screw Holes

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

chassis.

11

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

IMB-110 motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM

slots.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a

DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be

damaged.

2. Please install the memory module from DDR3_A2 slot rst.

Installing a SO-DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or

removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock the SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align the SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM

matches the break on the slot.

The SO-DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause perma-

nent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-

DIMM into the slot in the 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.

12

2.4 Expansion Slot (PCI Slot)

There is 1 PCI slot and 1 mini-PCIe slot on this motherboard.

PCI slot: The PCI slot is used to install an expansion card that has 32-bit PCI

interface.

PCIE slot: The mini-PCIe slot is used for mini-PCI Express cards.

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screws for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 6. Replace the system cover.
