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.

About this Manual

Static Electricity Precautions

An electronic file of this manual is included in the CD. To view the user’s manual in the CD,
insert the CD into a CD-ROM drive. The autorun screen (Main Board Utility CD) will appear.
Click “User’s Manual” on the main menu.

Warranty

1. Warranty does not cover damages or failures that arised from misuse of the product,
inability to use the product, unauthorized replacement or alteration of components and
product specifications.

2. The warranty is void if the product has been subjected to physical abuse, improper instal­lation, modification, accidents or unauthorized repair of the product.

3. Unless otherwise instructed in this user’s manual, the user may not, under any circum­stances, attempt to perform service, adjustments or repairs on the product, whether in or
out of warranty. It must be returned to the purchase point, factory or authorized service
agency for all such work.

4. We will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequencial damages to the
product that has been modified or altered.

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.

VGA

The VGA port is used for connecting a VGA monitor. Connect the monitor’s 15-pin D-shell cable
connector to the VGA port. After you plug the monitor’s cable connector into the VGA port,
gently tighten the cable screws to hold the connector in place.

DVI-I Port

DVI-I

(DVI-D signal only)

The DVI-I port is used to connect an LCD monitor. This port supports DVI-D signal only.

Connect the display device’s cable connector to the DVI-I port. After you plug the cable con­nector into the port, gently tighten the cable screws to hold the connector in place.

ExpressCard Slot

The ExpressCard slot is an interface for high-performance, modular expansion. It uses serial
data interfaces (PCIe x1 and USB) that provide improve data transfer speed. You can insert
an ExpressCard such as wireless network cards, Ethernet cards, solid-state drives, or TV tuner
cards. Its hot-plug functionality allows you to install and remove modules at any time, without
having to switch off your system. This provides added reliability, durability and expansion flex­ibility to your system.

ATX power

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 8-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 fit the 24-pin and 8-pin
connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging
the connectors.
The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system
configuration (CPU power, amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the
minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we strongly recom­mend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or greater) power supply.

Important:

Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in
boards and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approxi­mate power usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the sys­tem’s consumption requirements.

The CAN controller performs communication in accordance with the BOSCH CAN Protocol Ver­sion 2.0B Active1 (standard format and extended format). The bit rate can be programmed to
a maximum of 1Mbit/s. To connect the CAN controller module to the CAN bus, it is necessary
to add transceiver hardware.

When communicating in a CAN network, individual message objects are configured. The mes­sage objects and the identifier masks for the receive filter for the received messages are
stored in the message RAM.

Controller Area Network (CAN or CAN-bus) is a message based protocol designed specifically
for automotive applications but now is also used in other areas such as industrial automation
and medical equipment.

The Low Pin Count Interface was defined by Intel® Corporation to facilitate the industry’s tran­sition towards legacy free systems. It allows the integration of low-bandwidth legacy I/O com­ponents within the system, which are typically provided by a Super I/O controller. Furthermore,
it can be used to interface firmware hubs, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices and embed­ded controller solutions. Data transfer on the LPC bus is implemented over a 4 bit serialized
