INSTALLATIONS

NOTE:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in

ting problem that would

cause your system to hang or be unstable.

Installing the CPU

The MB961 Series board supports an LGA1155 Socket (shown below) for Intel Sandy Bridge processors.

To install the CPU, unl ock fi rst the socket by pressing the lever sideway s, then lift it up to a 90-degree. Then, po sitio n the C PU abo ve t he so ck et such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the socket corner wit h a small triangle. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket and push down the lever to secure the CPU. Then, install the heat sink and fan.

Installing the Memory

The MB961 Series board supports four DDR3 memory socket for a maximum total memory of 16GB in DDR3 DIMM memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and pe rform the f ollowing steps:

1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module aligned

with that on the me mory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR3 module in an upright position until the c lips 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 DD R 3 module, p ress the c lips w ith both hands.

BIOS SETUP

Warning:

It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any

and your system manufacturer

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 po rt s. It also password p ro t ection as well as special suppo r t for detailed fine-t uning of the chips et controlling the e ntire system.

BIOS Setup

The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Se t u p u t ility. Wh en yo u t ur n o n t h e co mp u t e r , t h e BI O S is imme d iat e ly activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allo ws you to ent er the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test) will co n tinue with its test ro utines, thus prev enting you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart 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. Th e f ol lowi ng message will appear on the screen:

C. Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for u se in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count t o zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal cir cu mstance, t he user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the t imer counts to zero.
