Introducing the Motherboard

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the H61H-G11 motherboard. This motherboard is a high performance, enhanced function motherboard designed to support the LGA1155 socket for latest IntelCoreTM Family/Pentium/Celeronprocessors* for high-end business or personal desktop markets.

This motherboard is based on IntelH61 Express Chipset for best desktop platform solution. H61 is a single-chip, highly integrated, high performance Hyper-Threading peripheral controller, unmatched by any other single chip-device controller. This motherboard supports up to 8 GB of system memory with dual channel DDR3 1333/ 1066 SO-DIMM. One Mini PCI Express slot is supported, which supports half-card. It implements an EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) compliant interface that provides six USB 2.0 ports (four USB 2.0 ports at the back panel and one USB 2.0 header support additional two USB 2.0 ports).

The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including one HDMI port, one DC-IN port, one Lan port, four USB 2.0 ports, and audio jacks for microphone and line-out.

In addition, this motherboard supports two SATA 3.0Gb/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

Safety Precautions

• 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 they came in

• Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards

Choosing a Computer Case

There are many types of computer cases on the market. The motherboard complies with the specifications for the Thin Mini ITX system case. Some features on the motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Make sure that your case supports all the features required.

Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the motherboard.

This motherboard carries a Thin Mini ITX form factor of 170 x 170 mm. Choose a case that accommodates this form factor.

Installing the Motherboard in a Case

Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the motherboard in a case.

Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case, which correspond the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.

Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion slots on your motherboard.

Installing the Motherboard

Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.

Checking Jumper Settings

This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard.

Setting Jumpers

Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.

The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper

cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, SHORT OPEN the jumper is OPEN.

This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

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”.

Installing Hardware

Installing the Processor

Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components.

On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed.

Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket.

Before installing the Processor

This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not over-clock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.

Warning:

1. Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can permanently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.

2. Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

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.

Fail-Safe Procedures for Over-clocking

When end-users encounter failure after attempting over-clocking, please take the following steps to recover from it.

1. Shut down the computer.

2. Press and hold the “Page Up Key (PgUp)” of the keyboard, and then boot the PC up.

3. Two seconds after the PC boots up, release the “Page Up Key (PgUp)”. 4. The BIOS returns to the default setting by itself.

CPU Installation Procedure

The following illustration shows CPU installation components.

A. Disengaging of the Load Lever

· Press the hook of lever down and pull it to the right side to release it from retention tab.

B. Opening of the Load Plate

· Lift the tail of the load lever.

· Rotate the load plate to fully open position.

C. Removing the Cap

· Be careful not to touch the contact at any time.

D. Inserting the Package

· Grasp the package. Ensure to grasp on the edge of the 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.

E. Closing the Load Plate

· 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.

F. Fasten the cooling fan supporting base onto the CPU socket on the motherboard.

G. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the

CPU fan connector. Please refer to the

CPU cooling fan user’s manual for more detail installation procedure.

1.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 heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/ heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.

2.DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a CPU.

3.Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1155 socket.

Installing Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support two 240-pin DDR3 1333/1066 SDRAM. The total memory capacity is 8 GB.

DDR3 SDRAM memory module table

Memory module

Memory Bus

DDR3 1066

533 MHz

You must install at least one module in any of the two slots.

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.

Installation Procedure

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.

1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM .

2 Push the latches on each side of the SO-DIMM slot down.

3 Align the memory module with the slot. The SO-DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the SO-DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.

4 Check that the cutouts on the SO-DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the SO-DIMM slot.

5 Install the SO-DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the SO-DIMM.

6 Install any remaining SO-DIMM modules.
