ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when
handling boards and components.

Note
To identify the first pin of a header or jumper, please refer to the following information:
Usually, there is a thick line or a triangle near the header or jumper pin 1.
Note
Once the default jumper setting needs to be changed, please do it under power-off condition.
2.3 Jumper Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2 jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. The following illustration shows how to set up jumper.
Before applying power to MANO521 Series, please make sure all of the jumpers are in factory default position. Below you can find a summary table of all jumpers and onboard default settings.

Hardware Description
3.1 Microprocessors
The MANO521 Series supports Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3, Pentium® and Celeron® processors, which enable your system to operate under Windows® 10 and Linux environments. The system performance depends on the microprocessor. Make sure all correct settings are arranged for your installed microprocessor to prevent the CPU from damages.
3.2 BIOS
The MANO521 Series uses AMI Plug and Play BIOS with a single SPI Flash.
3.3 System Memory
The MANO521 supports two 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets for maximum memory capacity up to 32GB DDR4 SDRAMs. The memory module comes in sizes of 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB.

Note
If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with BIOS setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP4 (see section 2.3.4).
Note
Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.
Chapter 4
AMI BIOS Setup Utility
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users with detailed description about how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
4.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the computer and press <Del> during the Power On Self Test (POST) to enter BIOS setup, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.
2. Once you enter the BIOS, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset menus.
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset’s defaults. Both AMI and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best performance and reliability.
4.2 Navigation Keys
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.
AMI BIOS Setup Utility 29

Watchdog Timer
A.1 About Watchdog Timer
Software stability is major issue in most application. Some embedded systems are not watched by human for 24 hours. It is usually too slow to wait for someone to reboot when computer hangs. The systems need to be able to reset automatically when things go wrong. The watchdog timer gives us solution.
The watchdog timer is a counter that triggers a system reset when it counts down to zero from a preset value. The software starts counter with an initial value and must reset it periodically. If the counter ever reaches zero which means the software has crashed, the system will reboot.
A.2 Sample Program
1. Enter ADU, and press <F4> to select the superior ITE
2. PORT setting 002E, 002F
3. Address 07h setting 07 GPIO
4. Address 72h to set the countdown, for example Sec: C0, Min: 40
5. Address 73h set the countdown time, for example 10sec: 0A

Configuring SATA for RAID
B.1 Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) for RAID Function
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare:
Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use
two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.
Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):
1. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
2. Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence.
3. Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS.
1. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive, and the other end to available SATA port(s) on the board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to the hard drive.
2. Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the BIOS Setup.
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly by system BIOS Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s).
Configuring SATA for RAID 59
MANO521 Mini ITX Motherboard
2.1. Turn on your system, and then press the <Del> button to enter BIOS Setup during running
POST (Power-On Self Test). If you want to create RAID, just go to the Advanced Settings menu/SATA and RST Configuration, select the “SATA Mode Selection”, and press <Enter> for more options.
A list of options appears, please select “Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration”.
