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.

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 MANO881 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.

2.3.1 Restore BIOS Optimal Defaults (CLRCMOS1)
CLRCMOS1 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 clip to short pin 2 and
pin 3 on CLRCMOS1 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 finish updating the
BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the
clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default profile
and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
2.3.2 Panel Power Selection (PNL_PWR1)
This motherboard supports voltage selection for flat panel displays. Use this jumper to
set power of LVDS panel to +3V, +5V or +12V. To prevent hardware damage, before
connecting please make sure that the input voltage of LVDS panel is correct.
2.3.3 Backlight Power Selection (BKT_PWR1)
This jumper allows you to select backlight power for LVDS panel.
2.3.4 AT/ATX Power Mode Jumper (PWR_JP1)
This jumper allows you to select ATX power or AT power mode.
2.3.5 PWM Level Selection (BLT_PWM1)
This jumper allows you to select PWM level.

2.4.9 System Panel Header (PANEL1)
This header accommodates several system front panel functions.
Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the chassis to
this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins
before connecting the cables.
PWRBTN (Power Switch)
Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to
turn off your system using the power switch.
RESET (Reset Switch)
Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart
the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
PLED (System Power LED)
Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is ON when
the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep
state. The LED is OFF when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).
HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED)
Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is ON when
the hard drive is reading or writing data.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of
power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When
connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire
assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly

Note
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.
Note
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
Note
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.
Chapter 3
Hardware Installation
This is a Mini ITX form factor (6.7”x6.7”, 17.0x17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the
motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
3.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis
3.2 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.

Note
It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into DDR3 socket;
otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.
Note
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing
SO-DIMMs or the system components.
Note
The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage
to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the socket at
incorrect orientation.
3.3 Installing Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)
This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM sockets.
Step 1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a SO-DIMM module on the socket such that the notch on the module matches
the break on the socket.
Step 3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

mini-SATA (mSATA slot) is used for mSATA cards.
3.5 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 firmly 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.

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.
5.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the computer and press <F2> or <Del> during the Power On Self Test (POST) to
enter BIOS setup, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.
2. After you press the <Del> key, 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.
If you wish to enter BIOS setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl>+<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.
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.
