Installing the Motherboard
2-1. Safety Precautions
2-2. Installing the motherboard in a Chassis
This motherboard carries a Thin Mini-ITX form factor of 170 x 170 mm. Choose a
chassis that accommodates this form factor. Make sure that the I/O template in the
chassis matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the motherboard. Most
system chassis have mounting brackets installed in the chassis, which corresponds
to the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.
Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard:
• Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage
from static electricity.
• Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded
object before working on the motherboard.
• Leave components in the static-proof bags.
• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power
outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware
components.
Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.

2-3. Checking Jumper Settings
This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the
motherboard.
1.When your panel connects to LVDS, please check LCD Select header setting
first.
2.Due to the differences of the panel parameters, please follow the above
illustration to place the jumper caps.
1. LCD_SEL: LCD select jumper (optional)

CDC-TI USER MANUAL
The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is
labeled.
To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to
enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings” and then “Save
and Exit Setup”.

2-4. Installing Hardware
2-4-1. Installing Memory Modules
• This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support
two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM 1066/800.
• Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only
by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
• You must install one module in DIMM1 or two modules in the two slots.
Total memory capacity is 4 GB.
• Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge
connector match the notches in the DIMM slot.

CDC-TI USER MANUAL
2-4-2. Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect
them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the
motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can
increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks
that are not part of the basic system.
MPE1~2 Slots
The mini PCI Express x1 slots are for extending usage, one supports half-card, and the other supports full-card.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for
the card carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have
to manually configure the card before installation.
The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base
Specification revision 2.0.
PCIE Slot

CDC-TI USER MANUAL
1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot
you are going to use.
2 Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot.
Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.
3 Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
1. For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the
add-on card.
2. The onboard PCI interface does not support 64-bit SCSI cards.
Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:
Please refer the following illustrations to install the add-on card:
Install the LAN Card in the PCIE X1 slot

CDC-TI USER MANUAL
Follow these instructions to install a wireless card:
1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case, and insert the wireless
card into the MINIPCIE slot rightwards, then tighten the two screws (Please
refer to Picture 1).
2 Press the metal connector of the cable into the connector on the wireless
card. Ensure that the metal connector is correctly seated (Please refer to
Picture 2).
3 Make the other end of the cable (with a gold screw) through the upper hole
of the bracket, and tighten the antenna on to the gold screw after installing a metal gasket on the screw (Please refer to Picture 3).
