INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The MI953 board supports rPGA989 socket for Intel® Arrandale Dual
Core mobile processors.
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As
shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the
screw. Refer to the figures below.

NOTE:

MI953 User’s Manual 7

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.

INSTALLATIONS

Installing the Memory

The MI953 board supports two DDR3 memory socket for a maximum
total memory of 8GB 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 m odule 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.

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 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 co mputer, 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.

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 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.
