Safety Warning:
The use and installation of this system should only be performed by professionals. Improper installation of
any electronic device or electrical component can result in serious injury or death. Please make sure that
all safety precautions are taken into account.
1. Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid damaging your system
board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect
your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory
modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity
between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard battery upside
down to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board,
make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
2. Memory Support
The MITX-6771 supports up to two 4 GB of DDR3L (Low Voltage) SO-DIMM of up to 1333 MHz in two
horizontal sockets. Populate memory on Socket SO-DIMM1 first.
2.1 Memory Population Guidelines
Note: Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency on the same
motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.

2.2 Populating Memory Modules
1. Install the desired number of SO-DIMM into the memory slots. Pay attention to the notch along the
bottom of the module to prevent incorrect DIMM module installation.
2.Insert SO-DIMM module at the proper angle and snap it into place.
Figure 2: Memory Card Installation
2.3 Installing a SO-DIMM Memory Card.
Locate the memory slot. Ensure memory is a 204-Pin SO DIMM. Align notch in memory circuit with
corresponding guide on the memory slot. Insert the memory circuit at a 45° angle and press the circuit flat
and secure it to the memory slot with an audible click on each side of the memory slot.
3. Motherboard Installation
The ITX-6771 motherboard has standard mini-ITX mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make
sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match. Although a
chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended
because they ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are
screwed in tightly. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

3.1 Installing the Motherboard
1. Install the I/O shield into the back of the chassis.
2. Locate the matching mounting holes on the chassis. Align the mounting holes.
on the motherboard against the mounting holes on the chassis.
3. Install standoffs in the chassis as needed.
4. Using a phillips head screwdriver, insert four Phillips head #6 screws into a mounting holes on
the motherboard and its matching mounting hole on the chassis.
3.2 Installing Hard Drive or SSD
1. Install mSATA SSD to the mSATA slot indicated on Figure 3.
2. Install SATA hard drive or SSD by connecting the SATA power and data cable to the
connectors indicated on Figure 3.
