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.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission
limits.

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.

1

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage y
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.

our processor, disk drive and

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 IDE connector is used to connect hard drives. The connector on the IDE
cable can be inserted into this connector only if pin 1 of the cable is aligned with

The IDE connector supports 2 devices, a Master and a Slave. Use an IDE ribbon
cable to connect the drives to the system board. An IDE ribbon cable have 3
connectors on them, one that plugs into the IDE connector on the system board
and the other 2 connects to IDE devices. The connector at the end of the cable is
for the Master drive and the connector in the middle of the cable is for the Slave
drive.

Note:

Refer to your disk drive user’s manual for information about selecting
proper drive switch settings.

Adding a Second IDE Disk Drive

When using two IDE drives, one must be set as the master and the other as the
slave. Follow the instructions provided by the drive manufacturer for setting the
jumpers and/or switches on the drives.

The system board supports Enhanced IDE or ATA-2, ATA/33, ATA/66 and ATA/100
hard drives. We recommend that you use hard drives from the same manufac­turer. In a few cases, drives from two different manufacturers will not function
properly when used together. The problem lies in the hard drives, not the system
board.

Important:

If you encountered problems while using an ATAPI CD-ROM drive that is
set in Master mode, please set the CD-ROM drive to Slave mode. Some
ATAPI CD-ROMs may not be recognized and cannot be used if incorrectly
set in Master mode.

The sequence of the pin functions on some IrDA cable may be reversed
from the pin function dened on the system board. Make sure to con­nect the cable connector to the IrDA connector according to their pin
functions.

You may need to install the proper drivers in your operating system to use the
IrDA function. Refer to your operating system’s manual or documentation for

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 processor’s Volt­age Regulator Module (VRM).

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.

Wake-On-Ring Connector

The Wake-On-Ring connector is used to connect to an internal modem add-in
card that has the same connector. It will allow the system that is in the Suspend
mode or Soft Power Off mode to wake-up/power-on to respond to calls coming
from the internal modem card.

To use this function, connect one end of the cable (that came with the card) to
the card’s wake-on-ring connector and the other end to the Wake-On-Ring con­nector on the system board.

If you are using an external modem, the ring-on function will come through the
serial port where the external modem is connected.

Important

If you are using a modem add-in card, the 5V_standby power source of
your power supply must support ≥720mA.

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.

Diagnostic LED

The Diagnostic LED displays POST codes. POST (Power-On Self Tests) which is
controlled by the BIOS is performed whenever you power-on the system. POST
will detect the status of the system and its components. Each code displayed on
the LED corresponds to a certain system status.

The General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) peripheral provides dedicated general­purpose pins that can be congured as either inputs or outputs. When congured
as an output, you can write to an internal register to control the state driven on
the output pin. When congured as an input, you can detect the state of the in­put by reading the state of an internal register.

ICH_GPIO 6/7/38/39 is the main power used for GPIO output.

ICH_GPIO 12/13/14/15 is the resume power used for GPIO input.
