Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the H61H2-TI motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support the LGA1155 socket for latest Intel→ CoreTM Family/Pentium→/Celeron→ Processors* for high-end business or personal desktop markets.
This motherboard is based on Intel→ H61 Express Chipset for best desktop platform solution. It supports up to 16 GB of system memory with dual channel DDR3 1333/ 1066 SO-DIMM. Two mini PCI Express x1 slots are for extending usage (the PCIE1 supports half-card, the PCIE2 supports full-card and you can install a Mini SATA (mSATA) card into it).
It implements an EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant interface that provides four USB 2.0 ports (two USB 2.0 ports at the rear panel and one USB 2.0 headers support additional two USB 2.0 ports). It also implements extra USB 3.0 chips which provide two USB 3.0 ports at the rear I/O with blue connectors.
The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including one RJ45 LAN connector, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI port, one HDMI_IN port (optional) , one DC_IN port and audio jacks for line-out and mircophone.
In addition, this motherboard supports two SATA 3Gb/s connectors for expansion.
*When accommodating Intel 3rd Generation CPU, the PCI Express 16X slot can run at Gen3 speed, which accelerates on 32GB/s rate that effectively delivers double of PCI Express Gen2 speed.

Installing the Motherboard
2-1. Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard: |
|
||
2 |
|||
• |
Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage |
||
Chapter |
|||
|
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. |
|
|
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.
Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.

H61H2-TI USER MANUAL |
2. CLR_CMOS: Clear CMOS jumper
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”.
3. ME_DIS: ME enable/disable jumper

2-4. Installing Hardware
2-4-1. Installing the Processor
2 Chapter
•This motherboard has an LGA1155 socket.
•When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory.
•You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend you do not over-clock processor or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
•The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
A. Press the hook of lever down with your thumb and pull it to the right side to release it from retention tab.
B. Lift the tail of the load lever and rotate the load plate to fully open position.
C. Grasp the edge of the package substrate. Make sure pin 1 indicator is on your bottom-left side. Aim at the socket and place the package carefully into the socket by purely vertical motion.
10 |
H61H2-TI USER MANUAL |
D. Rotate the load plate onto the package IHS (Intergraded Heat Spreader). Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate. Secure the load lever with the hook under retention tab. Then the cover will flick automatically.
Chapter 2
Please save and replace the cover onto the CPU socket if processor is removed.
H61H2-TI USER MANUAL |
11 |
2-4-2. Installing the CPU Cooler
2 Chapter
•Install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket.
•Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges in case the fan casing and the clips cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components.
•To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heat sink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
•DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.
•Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1155 socket.
•The following illustration shows how to install CPU fan.
A. Apply some thermal grease onto the contacted area between the heatsink and the CPU, and make it to be a thin layer.
B. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base onto the CPU socket on the motherboard. And make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector.
C. Connect the CPU cooler power connector to the CPU_FAN connector.
12 |
H61H2-TI USER MANUAL |
2-4-3. Installing Memory Modules
• |
This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support |
|
|
|
two 204-pin DDR3 1333/1066. |
|
|
• |
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. |
2 |
|
• |
You must install at least one module in any of the two slots. Total memory |
||
Chapter |
|||
|
capacity is 16 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. |

2-4-4. 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.
2 Chapter
PCIE1~2 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.
14 |
H61H2-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 |
2 |
|
|
Picture 2). |
||
|
Chapter |
||
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).
