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 con
nectors by their ends.
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 servic-
ing. 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.
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.

Installing a Mini PCIe Card and/or mSATA Card
3. Grasping the Mini PCIe card by its edges, align the card into the slot at an approximately 30
degrees angle. Apply fi rm even pressure to each end of the card until it slips down into the
slot. The contact fi ngers on the edge of the card will almost completely disappear inside the
slot.
4. Push the Mini PCIe card down until the clips at each end of the latch lock into position. You
will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating that the card is correctly locked into position.

Auto Power-on Select
If you encounter that CMOS data becomes corrupted, 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.
2-3 On:
Clear CMOS Data
1-2 On:
Normal (default)
JP4
1-2 On:
Power-on via power button

2-3 On:
Power-on via AC power
JP12 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 JP12 pins 2 and 3 to On. If you want to use the
power button, set pins 1 and 2 to On.
When using the JP12 “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 re covers within a
5 second period, set JP12 to 2-3 On and the “Restore AC Power Loss” in CMOS is set
to “Power On”.
