FCC and DOC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

Introduction

Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive 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.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.

The Low Pin Count Interface was dened by Intel® Corporation to facilitate the industry’s transition towards legacy free systems. It allows the integration of lowbandwidth legacy I/O components within the system, which are typically provided by a Super I/O controller. Furthermore, it can be used to interface rmware hubs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices and embedded controller solutions. Data transfer on the LPC bus is implemented over a 4 bit serialized data interface, which uses a 33MHz LPC bus clock. For more information about LPC bus refer to the Intel® Low Pin Count Interface Specication Revision 1.1’.

Use a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply Design Guide Version 1.1. An ATX12V power supply unit has a standard 24-pin ATX main power connector that must be inserted into the 24-pin connector. The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more +12VDC current to the COM express module board and carrier board’s PCI/ PCIe device.

The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed to t the 24-pin and 4-pin connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to nd the proper orientation before plugging the connectors.

Important

The system board consumes a minimal amount of power. Due to its low power consumption, you only need a 120W to 150W power supply. Every power supply has its minimum load of power. If you use a greater than 150W power supply, the power consumed by the system board may not attain its minimum load causing instability to the entire system.

Hardware Installation

Standby Power LED

This LED will lit red when the system is in the standby mode. 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.

PCI Express x16 Slot

Install PCI Express x16 graphics card, that comply to the PCI Express specications, into the PCI Express x16 slot. To install a graphics card into the x16 slot, align the graphics card above the slot then press it down rmly until it is completely seated in the slot. The retaining clip of the slot will automatically hold the graphics card in place.

PCI Express x4 Slots

Install PCI Express cards such as network cards or other cards that comply to the PCI Express specications into the PCI Express x4 slot.

Mini PCI Express (PCIe signal only)

PCI Slots

The PCI slots support expansion cards that comply with PCI specications.

Mini PCIe Slot

The Mini PCIe socket is used to install a Mini PCIe card. Mini PCIe card is a small form factor PCI card with the same signal protocol, electrical denitions, and conguration denitions as the conventional PCI.

The Mini PCIe slot supports PCIe signal only. To support both PCIe and USB signals, another version will be provided upon request. Since the USB signal for this slot is shared with USB 6, the said version will not support the USB 6 connector.

Ground

Hardware Installation

The board supports the chassis intrusion detection function. Connect the chassis intrusion sensor cable from the chassis to this connector. When the system’s power is on and a chassis intrusion occurred, an alarm will sound. When the system’s power is off and a chassis intrusion occurred, the alarm will sound only when the system restarts.

Hardware Installation

Battery

The lithium ion battery powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. It is an auxiliary source of power when the main power is shut off.

Safety Measures

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.

• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.
