Chapter 2 Installation

is is a 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.

Q1900DC-ITX

English

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.

English

Q1900DC-ITX

English

2.2 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 2 PCI Express slots 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 slots:

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

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

English

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. 15)

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.

Clear CMOSDefault

Q1900DC-ITX

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option “Clear Status” to clear the record of previou s chassis intrusion status.
