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.

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 Intel HD graphics for graphics intensive applications delivers ex­ceptional 3D, 2D and video capabilities. It supports VGA and DVI interfaces.
1
DVI
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a form of video interface technology made to maximize the quality of flat panel LCD monitors and modern video graphics cards. Data is transmitted using the TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Sig­naling) protocol, providing a digital signal from the PC’s graphics subsystem to the display.
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x4 PCI Express lane supports trans­fer rate of 1 Gigabyte per second. The PCI Express architecture also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI Express lane to provide 8 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.
Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) allows remote access and man­agement of networked systems even while PCs are powered off, remotely repair systems after OS failures and has the capability to remotely update all systems with the latest security software.
Audio
The Realtek ALC886 audio codec provides 5.1-channel High Definition audio out­put.

Introduction
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. The board supports RAID 0/1/5/10.
Gigabit LAN
The Intel WG82579LM PHY and WG82574L PCI Express Gigabit controllers sup­port up to 1Gbps data transmission.
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.

Page 15
Introduction
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.
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.

Hardware Installation
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
Single Channel
Dual Channel
Important:
1. You can populate either Channel A or Channel B fi rst.
2. When installing a DIMM in Channel A or Channel B, always populate the socket that is farthest the CPU. In this case, it will mean popu­lating DDR3-2 and/or DDR3-4 fi rst.
3. If you intend to use dual channel, the same rule applies - always the socket farthest the CPU. Populate DDR3-2 and/or DDR3-4 fi rst; not DDR3-2 and DDR3-3 and not DDR3-1 and DDR3-4.
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or com­pletely different. However, we highly recommend using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
DIMMs of the same memory confi guration are on different channels.

The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without suffi cient air circulation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
Note:
A boxed Intel sembly. If your CPU was purchased separately, make sure to only use

-certifi ed fan and heat sink.
1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the fan / heat sink assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top of the CPU, the compound will dis­perse evenly.
Some heat sinks come with a patch of pre-applied thermal paste. Do not ap-
ply thermal paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
2. Place the heat sink on top of the CPU. The 4 push­pins around the heat sink, which are used to secure the heat sink onto the sys­tem board, must match the 4 mounting holes around the socket.

3. Orient the heat sink such that the CPU fan’s cable is nearest the CPU fan con­nector.

4. Rotate each push-pin ac­cording to the direction of the arrow shown on top of the pin.
Push down two pushpins
that are diagonally across the heat sink. Perform the same procedure for the other two push-pins.

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 fi t the 24-pin and 8-pin connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to fi nd the proper orien- tation before plugging the connectors.
The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system confi guration (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.
52
Important:
Insuffi cient 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.

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.
3
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.
