Chapter 2 Installation

is is a in Mini-ITX form factor motherboard. Before you install the

motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

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.

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.

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

•

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

•

in the bag that comes with the components.

When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

•

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.1 Installing Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3/DDR3L (Double Data Rate 3) SO-

DIMM slots. If only one SO-DIMM module is installed, please install it into DDR3_

A1.

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3/DDR3L
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be d amaged.

e SO-DIMM only ts in one cor rect orientation. It w ill cau se permanent damage
to the motherboard and the SO -DIMM if you force the SO-DIM M into the slot at
incorrect orientation.

2.2 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere is 1 PCI Express slot and 1 mini-PCI Express slot on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is
switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Plea se read the documentation of the
expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the
installation.

PCIe slot:

PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x1 lane width cards.

mini-PCIe slot:

MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for WiFi module.

2.3 Jumpers Setup

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.5, No. 20)

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear

the CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when

you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut

it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,

date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed.

these header s and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors
will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.

Connec t to the reset switch on the chassi s front panel. P ress the reset sw itch to restart
the computer if the compute r freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):

Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED i s on when
the system is ope rating. e LED keeps blinking when the system i s in S1/S3 sleep
state. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):

Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on
when the hard drive i s reading or writing data.

e front panel de sign may dier by chassis. A front pane l module mainly consists
of power switch , reset switch, power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speak er and etc.
When connecting your chassis front panel module to this head er, make sure the wire
assig nments and the pin assig nments are matched correctly.

3.3 Enabling USB Ports for Windows® 7 Installation

Intel® Braswell and Skylake has removed their support for the Enhanced Host

Controller Interface (EHCI – USB2.0) and only kept the eXtensible Host Controller

Interface (XHCI – USB3.0). Due to that fact that XHCI is not included in the

Windows 7 inbox drivers, users may nd it dicult to install Windows 7 operating

system because the USB ports on their motherboard won’t work. In order for the

USB ports to function properly, please create a Windows® 7 installation disk with

the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) drivers packed into the ISO

le.

Requirements

A Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive

•

USB 3.0 drivers (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)

•

A Windows® PC

•

Win7 USB Patcher (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)

•

Scenarios

You have an ODD and PS/2 ports:

If there is an optical disc drive, PS/2 ports and PS/2 Keyboard or mouse on your computer,

you can skip the instructions below and go ahead to install Windows® 7 OS.

You only have an ODD (For Intel Skylake platforms only):

If there is an optical disc drive but no PS/2 ports on your computer, please enable the “PS/2

Simulator” option in UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > USB Conguration, which

allows the USB port to function as a PS/2 port, and then you can install the Windows® 7

OS. Please set PS/S Simulator back to disabled aer the installation.

English

26

You’ve got nothing:

If you do not have an optical disc drive, please nd another computer and follow the

instructions below to create a new ISO le with the “Win7 USB Patcher”. en use the new

patched Windows® 7 installation USB drive to install Windows® 7 OS.

J3160TM-ITX

Instructions

Step 1

Insert the Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive to your system.

Step 2

Extract the tool (Win7 USB Patcher) and launch it.

Step 3

Select the “Win7 Folder” from Step1 by clicking the red circle as shown as the picture

below.

Step 4

Select the “USB Driver Folder” by clicking the red circle as shown as the picture below.

If you are using ASRock’s Support CD for the USB 3.0 driver, please select your CD-ROM.

English

27

Step 5

Select where to save the ISO le by pressing the red circle as shown as the picture below.

Step 6

If you want to burn the patched image to a CD, please check “Burn Image” and select “Target

Device to Burn”. If not, the patched ISO image will be exported to the destination selected

in Step5. en Press “Start” to proceed.

Step 7

Now you are able to install Windows® 7 on Braswell or Skylake with the new burned CD.

Or please use the patched ISO image to make an OS USB drive to install the OS.
