1.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply 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, or components.
Standby Power LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you should shut down
the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.

1.2Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
Ensure that you unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.
C8HM70-I Series motherboards include C8HM70-I and C8HM70-I/HDMI models. The package contents vary from models. The layout illustrations in this user guide are for C8HM70-I/HDMI only.
1.2.1Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, ensure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
1.2.2Screw holes
Place four screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

C8HM70-I/HDMI 204-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets
1.4.2Memory configurations
You may install 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB unbuffered non ECC DDR3 SO-DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
•Due to the CPU limitation, when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you use a maximum of 3GB system memory.
•This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.

1.5Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.
1.5.1Installing an expansion card
To install an expansion card:
1.Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2.Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
3.Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.
4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.
5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6.Replace the system cover.
1.5.2Configuring an expansion card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
1.Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup.
2.Assign an IRQ to the card.
3.Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
1.5.3PCI Express x16 slot
This motherboard has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (at 16x mode) that supports PCI Express
2.0 x16 graphic cards complying with the PCI Express specifications.

1.6Jumpers
Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.

C8HM70-I/HDMI Clear RTC RAM
To erase the RTC RAM:
1.Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2.Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.
3.Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4.Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to reenter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
• If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.
•You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.) feature. Shut down and reboot the system, then the BIOS automatically resets parameter settings to default values.
