Chapter 2: Installation

This is a 3.5” SBC (5.8-in x 4.0-in) form factor (146 x 102 mm) 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)

SBC-330 provides two 204-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots.

Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM

matches the break on the slot.

1. The SO-DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage

to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at

incorrect orientation.

2. Please do not intermix different voltage SO-DIMMs on this motherboard.

Step 2. 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 Slots (mini-PCIe and mini-PCIe/mini-SATA

Slots)

There is 1 mini-PCIe slot and 1 mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot on this motherboard.

mini-PCIe slot:

MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; full size) is used for PCI Express mini

cards.

mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot:

MINI_SATA1 (mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot; full size) is used for PCI Ex-

press mini cards or mSATA cards.

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.

13

2.5 Jumpers Setup

The i llust rat io n shows h ow jum pers a re

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

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

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration show s a 3-pin jum pe r w hose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRMOS1)

(see p.8, No. 2)

Note: CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,

please do not clear the CMOS right after 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, user default prole and MAC

address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place

jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps

over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the

motherboard!

Chapter 3: UEFI SETUP UTILITY

3.1 Introduction

This section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to congure your

system. The UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. You

may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press

<F2> or <Del> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUP

UTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.

If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by

pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system

chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.

Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the

following UEFI setup screens and descriptions are for reference

purpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see on

your screen.

3.1.1 UEFI Menu Bar

The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections:

Main To set up the system time/date information

Advanced To set up the advanced UEFI features

H/W Monitor To display current hardware status

Security To set up the security features

Boot To set up the default system device to locate and load the

Operating System

Exit To exit the current screen or the UEFI SETUP UTILITY

Use < > key or < > key to choose among the selections on the menu

bar, and then press <Enter> to get into the sub screen. You can also use the

mouse to click your required item.

3.3 Advanced Screen

In this section, you may set the congurations for the following items: CPU Congu-

ration, Chipset Conguration, Storage Conguration, AMT Conguration, Super IO

Conguration, ACPI Conguration, USB Conguration and Trusted Computing.

Setting wrong values in this section may cause

the system to malfunction.

Instant Flash

Instant Flash is a UEFI ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This conve-

nient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI without entering

operating systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. Just launch this tool

and save the new UEFI le to your USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your UEFI only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash utility. Please

be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le

system. If you execute Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the UEFI

les and their respective information. Select the proper UEFI le to update

your UEFI, and reboot your system after UEFI update process completes.
