Introduction
Product Description
The MI961F Mini ITX motherboard is based on the latest Intel@ H61
Express chipset. The platform supports 2nd generation Intel® Core™
processor family with LGA1155 packing and features an integrated
dual-channel DDR3 memory controller as well as a graphics core.
The latest Intel@ processors provide advanced performance in both
computing and graphics quality. This meets the requirement of customers
in the gaming, POS, digital signage and server market segment.
The H61 platform is made with 32 nanometer technology that supports
Intel’s first processor architecture to unite the CPU and the graphics core
on the transistor level. The MI961F board utilizes the dramatic increase in
performance provided by this Intel’s latest cutting-edge technology.
Measuring 170mm x 170mm, the MI961F offers 3Gbps SATA support (3
ports), USB3.0 (2 ports) and interfaces for DVI-D, VGA and HDMI
displays.

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 MI961F board supports an LGA1155 Socket (shown below) for 2nd
generation Intel® Core™ processor family with LGA1155 packing.
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.

Installing the Memory
The MI961F 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.
