CAUTION!

1. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically
shutdown. Please check if the CPU fan on the motherboard
functions properly before you resume the system. To improve heat
dissipation, remember to spray thermal grease between the CPU and
the heatsink when you install the PC system.

2. Although M810LMR offers stepless control, it is not recommended to
perform over clocking. When the CPU frequency of M810LMR is set
to perform over clocking, other clocks, such as PCI clock and Memory
clock will also be overclocked proportionally. Frequencies other than
the recommended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of
the system or damage the CPU and the motherboard.

NOTE: The USB 1.1 header (JUSB23, see page 6, item 27) is shared with the USB 1.1

ports 2,3 (see above, item 7) on the rear panel. When using the front panel

USB ports by attaching the front panel USB cable to JUSB23 header, the rear panel

USB 1.1 ports 2,3 will not be able to function. In that case, you may cover the part of

USB 1.1 ports 2,3 on the I/O shield with the “Front USB Header Connected” sticker

enclosed in the package of M810LMR motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation

M810LMR is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6" x 7.0", 24.4 x 17.8 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.
