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 HDMI, DVI-I and LVDS inter­faces.

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 PCI Express architecture provides a
high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a x16 PCI
Express lane to provide 4 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

12

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 Intel WG82574L PCI Express Gigabit controllers
support up to 1Gbps data transmission.

USB

The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maxi­mum transmission speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0
(480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 reduces the time re­quired for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward com­patible with USB 2.0. It is 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.

If y
ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support
≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your
power supply must support ≥2A.

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.

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink

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:

•

Use only certifi ed fan and heat sink.

• Your fan and heat sink package usually contains the fan and heat sink
assembly, and an installation guide. If the installation procedure in the
installation guide differs from the one in this section, please follow the
installation guide in the package.

1. On the solder side of the board, match the retention module base to the
mounting holes around the CPU socket.

2

Retention module base

2. Turn to the component side of the board making sure the retention module
base is positioned and fi tted properly under the board.

3. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste on top of the CPU. Do not spread the
paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat sink on top, the
compound will disperse evenly.
