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.

Page 9

Introduction

Safety Precautions

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

• 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.

• 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.

• Keep this system away from humidity.

• Place the system on a stable surface. Dropping it or letting it fall may cause damage.

• The openings on the system are for air ventilation to protect the system from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

• Place the power cord in such a way that it will not be stepped on. Do not place anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been approved for use with the system and that it matches the voltage and current marked on the system’s electrical range label.

• If the system will not be used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.

• If one of the following occurs, consult a service personnel:

- The power cord or plug is damaged.

- Liquid has penetrated the system.

- The system has been exposed to moisture.

- The system is not working properly.

- The system dropped or is damaged.

- The system has obvious signs of breakage.

• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.

• Disconnect the system from the AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.

Configuring the BIOS

To get you started, you may need to change configurations such as the date, time and the type of hard disk drive.

1. Power-on the system.

2. After the memory test, the message “Press DEL to run setup” will appear on

the screen. Press the Delete key to enter the AMI BIOS setup utility.

Installing the Operating System

Most operating system software are provided in a CD therefore you need to install a CD-ROM drive in order to use the CD.

Make sure a 2.5” SATA drive is already installed.

1. Refer to the following chapters for information on connecting a CD-ROM drive

and installing a SATA drive.

2. Refer to your operating system manual for instructions on installing the oper-

ating system.

Chapter 3 - Installing Devices

Removing the Chassis Cover

1. Make sure the system and all other peripheral devices connected to it has

been powered-off.

2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.

3. The 8 mounting screws on the sides of the system are used to secure the

cover to the chassis. Remove these screws and then put them in a safe place for later use.

Note:

The system comes with an aluminum sheet on the heat sink. Please do not tear off.

Page 22

Installing Devices

Installing a SODIMM

1. Locate the SODIMM socket on the system board.

2. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one direction.

SODIMM sockets

Note:

The system board is equipped with two SODIMM sockets. At first, install the memory from SODIMM1.

Page 23

Installing Devices

3. 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.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 7 - BIOS Setup

Overview

The BIOS is a program that takes care of the basic level of communication between the CPU and peripherals. It contains codes for various advanced features found in this system board. The BIOS allows you to conﬁ gure the system and save the conﬁ guration in a battery-backed CMOS so that the data retains even when the power is off. In general, the information stored in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM will stay unchanged unless a conﬁ guration change has been made such as a hard drive replaced or a device added.

It is possible that the CMOS battery will fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens, you need to install a new CMOS battery and reconﬁ gure the BIOS settings.

Note:

The BIOS is constantly updated to improve the performance of the system board; therefore the BIOS screens in this chapter may not appear the same as the actual one. These screens are for reference purpose only.

Default Configuration

Most of the conﬁ guration settings are either predeﬁ ned according to the Load Op- timal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are automatically detected and conﬁ gured without requiring any actions. There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your system conﬁ guration.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility can only be operated from the keyboard and all commands are keyboard commands. The commands are available at the right side of each setup screen.

The BIOS Setup Utility does not require an operating system to run. After you power up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test, the message “Press DEL to run setup” will appear on the screen. If the message disappears before you respond, restart the system or press the “Reset” button. You may also restart the system by pressing the <Ctrl> <Alt> and <Del> keys simultaneously.

Appendix A - NLITE and AHCI Installation Guide

nLite

nLite is an application program that allows you to customize your XP installation disc by integrating the RAID/AHCI drivers into the disc. By using nLite, the F6 function key usually required during installation is no longer needed.

Note:

The installation steps below are based on nLite version 1.4.9. Installation procedures may slightly vary if you’re using another version of the program.

1. Download the program from nLite’s ofﬁ cal website.

http://www.nliteos.com/download.html

2. Install nLite.

Important:

Due to it’s coding with Visual.Net, you may need to ﬁ rst install .NET Framework prior to installing nLite.

3. Download relevant RAID/AHCI driver ﬁ les from Intel’s website. The drivers you choose will depend on the operating system and chipset used by your computer.

The downloaded driver ﬁ les

should include iaahci.cat, iaAHCI.inf, iastor.cat, iaStor. inf, IaStor.sys, license.txt and TXTSETUP.OEM.

Page 97

NLITE and AHCI Installation Guide

4. Insert the XP installation disc into an optical drive.

5. Launch nLite. The Welcome screen will appear. Click Next.

6. Click Next to temporarily save the Windows installation ﬁ les to the designated default folder.

If you want to save them

in another folder, click Browse, select the folder and then click Next.
