INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Product Description
The MI959 Mini ITX motherboard is based on the AMD A70M chipset
that supports AMD R-series APU. The AMD R-series APU comes with
integrated memory controller. MI959 has two DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets
to accommodate up to 8GB of DDR3 1600 memory modules. The board
comes with the Radeon HD7000 graphics engine that is built in the AMD
R-series APU. Display interface supported include one DVI-I, one
DisplayPort and 24-bit dual-channel LVDS.
The AMD Embedded R-Series platform delivers high-performance
processing coupled with a premium high definition visual experience in a
solution that is still power efficient. Enabling unprecedented integrated
graphics and multi-display capabilities in embedded applications that can
be compact and low power. The AMD R-Series APU is designed to
efficiently handle your advanced multimedia and computational
workloads. With discrete-class AMD Radeon™ graphics performance
integrated into the AMD R-Series APU, applications that previously
required a discrete graphics card can be developed in smaller form factors
with lower power and cost.
MI959 has dual PCI-E Ethernet controllers, four USB 3.0, four USB 2.0,
six serial ports, PCI-e(x16) slot and two full-size MiniPCIe sockets.
MI959F FEATURES:
Supports AMD R-Series socket, up to 3.1GHz processors
2x DDR3 SO-DIMM, Max. 8GB
iSMART - auto-scheduler and power resume
2x PCI-E Gigabit LAN
Supports triple displays, watchdog timer, digital I/O
5x SATA III, 4x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, 6x COM,
1x PCIE(x16), 2x Mini PCI-E (one support mSATA)

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 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> or <ESC> 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.

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.
