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

30.

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

32-bit.

3. You can choose to use two of the three monitors only. D-Sub, LVDS and

HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same time.

4. 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.

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes 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.

11

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

IMB-140 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 for the rst

priority.

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 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.

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 on this motherboard.

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

interface.

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.
