Dual Function Power Button
Depending on the setting in the “Soft-Off By PWR-BTTN” field of
the Power Management Setup, this switch will allow the system to
enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.
Wake-On-Ring
This feature allows the system that is in the Suspend mode or Soft
Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming
from an external modem or respond to calls from a modem PCI
card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal to
remotely wake up the PC.
Important:
If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5VSB power source
of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power
Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN por t or
via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management
Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you
can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
Important:
The 5VSB power source of your power supply must support
≥
720mA.

(STR - Suspend To RAM) state.
Important:
• If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5VSB power source of your power
supply must support ≥1.5A.
• If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 3 or more USB ports, the 5VSB power source of
your power supply must support ≥2A.
RTC Timer to Power-on the System
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to
automatically power-on on the set date and time.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the
system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby”
when you shut down Windows
to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files,
applications and operating system. This is because the system is
capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire
operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it
powers-off. The oper ating session will resume exactly where you left
off the next time you power-on the system.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the
upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.
If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part
of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and
maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures
requiring ESD protection.
2.2 System Memory
DDR 1
DDR 2
16
The system board is equipped with two 184-pin DDR SDRAM
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets that support 2.5V
DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM)
is a type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading
and writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This
effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling the
speed of data transfer.
Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed specification of the memor y supported by the system board.
BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Advanced Chipset Features
submenu of the BIOS.
Hardware Installation
2.2.1 Installing the DIM Module
A DIM module simply snaps into a DIMM socket on the system
board. Pin 1 of the DIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of
the socket.

2. Position the DIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the
module aligned with the “key” on the socket.
3. Seat the module vertically into the socket. Make sure it is
completely seated. The tabs will hold the DIMM in place.

2.3 CPU
2.3.1 Overview
The system board is equipped with a surface mount 478-pin CPU
socket. This socket is exclusively designed for installing an Intel
processor.
2.3.2 Installing the CPU
1. Locate Socket 478 on the system board.
2. Unlock the socket by pushing the lever sideways, away from the
socket, then lifting it up to a 90o angle. Make sure the socket is
lifted to at least this angle otherwise the CPU will not fit in
properly.

3. Position the CPU above the socket then align the gold mark
on the corner of the CPU (designated as pin 1) with pin 1 of
the socket.
Important:
Handle the CPU by its edges and avoid touching the pins.
Gold mark
Pin 1
4. Insert the CPU into the socket until it is seated in place. The
CPU will fit in only one orientation and can easily be inserted
without exerting any force.
Important:
Do not force the CPU into the socket. Forcing the CPU into
the socket may bend the pins and damage the CPU.

5. Once the CPU is in place, push down the lever to lock the
socket. The lever should click on the side tab to indicate that
the CPU is completely secured in the socket.
2.3.3 Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heatsink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink,
the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
•Only use Intel® certified fan and heat sink.
•An Intel® boxed processor package contains a retention
mechanism, heat sink, fan and installation guide. If the installation procedure in the installation guide differs from the one
in this section, please follow the installation guide in the
package.
•If you are installing a non-boxed processor, the heat sink, fan
and retention mechanism assembly may look different from
the one shown in this section but the procedure will more or
less be the same.
