CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1Connect Cooling Fans

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan cable and connector may be different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to pin#1.

SOC_FAN1/SYS_FAN1: System Fan Header

Pin	Assignment
1	Ground
2	+12V
3	FAN RPM rate sense

Note: When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to pin#2, and the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.

2.2Install System Memory

A.DDR3L SO-DIMM Module (1.35V/1.5V)

Motherboard Manual

Step 1: Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the Slot.

Step 2: Insert the DIMM firmly into the slot until the retaining chip snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

Note1: The DIMM must be installed to DIMMA1(DDR3_A1) slot first.

Note2: If the DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.

B. Memory Capacity

	DIMM Socket Location	DDR3L Module	Total Memory Size
	DIMMA1	512MB/1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB	Max is 16GB
	DIMMB1	512MB/1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB	(Supports up to 8GB Memory
			for DDR3L-1600)
	C. Dual Channel Memory Installation

Please refer to the following requirements to activate Dual Channel function: Install memory module of the same density in pairs, shown in the table.

Dual Channel Status	DIMMA1	DIMMB1
Disabled	O	X
Enabled	O	O

(O means memory installed, X means memory not installed.)

2.4Jumper Setting

The illustration shows how to set up jumpers. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “close”, if not, that means the jumper is “open”.

Pin opened

Pin closed

Pin1-2 closed

JCMOS1: Clear CMOS Jumper

The jumper allows users to restore the BIOS safe setting and the CMOS data. Please carefully follow the procedures to avoid damaging the motherboard.

Pin 1-2 Open:

Normal Operation (default).

Pin 1-2 Close:

Clear CMOS data.

Clear CMOS Procedures:

1.Remove AC power line.

2.Set the jumper to “Pin 1-2 close”, you can use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins.

3.Wait for five seconds.

4.After clearing the CMOS values, be sure the jumper is “Pin 1-2 open”.

5.Power on the AC.

6.Load Optimal Defaults and save settings in CMOS.
