2.2 Installing the Memory
The IB907 board supports two DDR3 memory sockets for a max i mum tot al memo ry o f
16GB in DDR3 SO-DIMM memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the
following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned with that on
the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 modul e in an upright position until the clips of the slot close
to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3 module touches the bottom of
the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3 module, press the clips with both hands.
Jumpers are used on IB907 to select various settings and features according to
your needs and applications. Contact your supplier if you have doubts about the best
configuration for your needs. The following lists the connectors on IB970 and their
respective functions.
It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any changes
CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM
supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard
device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also password protection
as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire
system.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations
and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on
the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you
from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter S etup, rest art the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following
message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp >
and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen.
The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.
Warning:
to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully
chosen by both AMI and your system manufacturer to provide
the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Changing
the defaults could cause the system to become unstable and
Enabled for Windows XP and Linux (OS optimized for Hyper-Threading Technology)
and Disabled for other OS (OS not optimized for Hyper-Threading Technology). When
Disabled, only one thread per enabled core is enabled.
Active Processor Cores

XD can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined
with a supporting OS (Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP SP2, SuSE Linux 9.2,
Re33dHat Enterprise 3 Update 3.)

CHAPTER 4 DRIVERS INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation procedures for software and drivers. The
software and drivers are included with the motherboard.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After installing your Windows operating system, you must install first the Intel
Chipset Software Installation Utility before proceeding with the drivers installation.
4.1 Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility
The Intel Chipset Drivers should be installed first before the software drivers to enable
Plug & Play INF support for Intel chipset components. Follow the instructions below to
complete the installation.
1. Insert the CD that comes with the board. Click Intel and then Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Drivers.
