INSTALLATIONS

NOTE:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would cause your system to hang or be unstable.

Installing the CPU

The MB966 board supports an LGA1156 Socket (shown below) for Intel Clarkdale processors.

To install the CPU, unlock first the socket by pressing the lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90-degree. Then, position the CPU above the socket such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the socket corner with 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.

Lock

Installing the Memory

The MB966 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 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 module 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.

Watchdog Timer Configuration

The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use 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 to zero and the selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.

BIOS SETUP

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 adds virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire 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 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 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. 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.

Note:

If the system cannot boot after making and saving system changes with Setup, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.

Warning:

It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any changes 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 crash in some cases.
