Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Micro ATX 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.

English

2.1 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots.

It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 me mory module into a DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIM M may be damaged .

e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIM M if you forc e the DIMM into the sl ot at incorrect orientation.

English

QC5000M

English

2.2 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card , please make s ure that the power supply is switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware se ttings for the card before you star t the installation.

PCIe slots:

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

PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

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

(CLRC MOS1)

(see p.5, No. 11)

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.

PLED (Syste m Power LED): Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front pane l. e LED is on when the system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when th e system is in S3 sleep state. e LED is o when the s ystem i s 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 dr ive is reading or w riting data.

e front panel de sign may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power s witch , reset switch, power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assig nments and the pin assignment s are matched cor rectly.
