Features
• Watchdog Timer
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.
• DDR3
DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. The advantages of DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than DDR2.
• Graphics
The integrated Intel® GMA 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 VGA, DVI-I (DVI-D signal) and LVDS interfaces.
• DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to the display.
• Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of up to 3Gb/s (SATA 2.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
• Gigabit LAN
Two Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN controllers or 2 Intel® I210 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers support up to 1Gbps data transmission.
• Audio
The Realtek ALC886 audio codec provides 5.1-channel High Definition audio output.
• USB
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
•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 poweron the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
•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.
Important:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.
•RTC Timer
The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and time.
•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.

Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform installation procedures 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.
System Memory
Important:
When the Standby Power LED lit red, it indicates that there is power on the system board. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any devices. Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or Single Channel completely different. However, we highly
recommend using identical DIMMs. Not all slots need to be populated.
Chapter 2
Installing the DIMM Module
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual board. These illustrations are for reference only.
1.Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down.
2.Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3.Locate the SODIMM socket on the system board.
4.Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one direction.

5.Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an approximately 30 degrees angle. Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips down into the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.
6.Push down the module until the clips at each end of the socket lock into position. You will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the module is correctly locked into position.

If you encounter the following,
a)CMOS data becomes corrupted.
b)You forgot the supervisor or user password.
you can reconfigure the system with the default values stored in the ROM BIOS. To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow the steps below.
1.Power-off the system and unplug the power cord.
2.Set JP4 pins 2 and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set JP4 back to its default setting, pins 1 and 2 On.
3.Now plug the power cord and power-on the system.
JP10 is used to select the method of powering on the system. If you want the system to power-on whenever AC power comes in, set JP10 pins 2 and 3 to On. If you want to use the power button, set pins 1 and 2 to On.
When using the JP10 “Power On” feature to power the system back on after a power failure occurs, the system may not power on if the power lost is resumed within 5 seconds (power flicker).
Note:
In order to ensure that power is resumed after a power failure that recovers within a 5 second period, JP10 must be set to pins 2-3 and the “AC Power Lose” in CMOS is set to “On”.
