Before Using the System Board
Before using the system board, prepare basic system components.
If you are installing the system board in a new system, you will need at least the following internal components.
• CPU
• Memory module
• Storage device such as hard disk drive, CD-ROM, etc.
You will also need external system peripherals you intend to use which will normally include at
least a keyboard, a mouse and a video display monitor.
1 x HDMI, resolution up to 3840x2160@30Hz
1 x LVDS/eDP (opt.)
LVDS: dual channel 48-bit, resolution up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz
eDP: resolution up to 3840x2160 @ 60Hz
The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set
time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that
your system will continue to operate.
DDR3L
DDR3L requires less voltage (1.35V) than DDR3 (1.5V). DDR3L SDRAM modules support
1867MHz for DDR modules.
Graphics
The integrated Intel® HD graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics performance
and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compatibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports 1 x VGA, 1 x HDMI
and 1 x LVDS/eDP (eDP optional) interfaces for triple display outputs.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of
up to 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel
ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
Gigabit LAN
Two Realtek RTL8111H-CG Ethernet controllers support up to 1Gbps data transmission.
Audio
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)
specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management.
ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM
function.
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® without having 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 operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system
manually or let the system power-on automatically.
USB
The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmission speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s)
and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power
consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement in device
transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
The Realtek ALC269Q audio codec provides 4-channel High Definition audio output.
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 port 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.
Wake-On-USB
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the
S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Installing the SO-DIMM Module
Before installing the memory module, please make sure that the following safety cautions are
well-attended.
1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered
down.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
DDR3L_1
DDR3L_2
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides
better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
Single ChannelDIMMs are on the same channel. DIMMs in a channel can be identi-
cal or completely different. However, we highly recommend using
identical DIMMs. Not all slots need to be populated.
Dual ChannelDIMMs of the same memory configuration are on different channels.
