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.

Introduction

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. It offers peak data transfer rate of up to 21 Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than DDR2.
Graphics
The integrated AMD HD graphics for graphics intensive applications delivers ex­ceptional 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports HDMI, VGA, and LVDS inter­faces.
1
CompactFlash
The system board is equipped with the CompactFlashTM socket for inserting a CompactFlash device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile storage solution that does not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash is widely used in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital cam­eras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and personal communicators.

technology
Audio
The Realtek ALC886 audio codec provides 7.1-channel High Definition audio out­put.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specifica­tion. SATA 3.0 supports speed up to 6Gb/s while SATA 2.0 supports speed up to 3Gb/s. This improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
Gigabit LAN
The Realtek RTL8111DL PCI Express Gigabit controllers support up to 1Gbps data transmission.
11
Page 12

Introduction
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 (Soft­Off) 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 power-on 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.
12
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 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.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 - 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.
