This section provides information on jumper settings and connectors on the IB818F to help you set up a workable system. The topics covered are:

• CPU and the memory installation

• Jumper settings and connectors

IB818F User’s Manual

2.1 Basic Installations

Follow the instructions below to install the memory module.

2.1.1 Installing the Memory

The IB818F board supports two DDR3L memory sockets for a maximum total memory of 8 GB. To install the memory modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the following steps:

1. Align the notch of the memory module with that on the memory slot, and insert the module slantwise.

2. Gently push the module until the retention clips snap into place.

To remove the module, press the clips outwards with the fingers, and the module will pop-up.

2.2 Setting the Jumpers

Configure your IB818F by using jumpers to enable the features that you need based on your applications. Contact your supplier if you have doubts about the best configuration or settings.

2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers

Jumpers are short-length conductors consisting of several metal pins with a base mounted on the circuit board. Jumper caps are placed (or removed) on the pins to enable or disable functions or features. If a jumper has 3 pins, you can connect Pin 1 with Pin 2 or Pin 2 with Pin 3 by shorting the jumper.

When two pins of a jumper are encased in a jumper cap, this jumper is closed, i.e. turned On.

When a jumper cap is removed from two jumper pins, this jumper is open, i.e. turned Off.

4.1 Introduction

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in the ROM of your computer system supports Intel® processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also provides password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.

4.2 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. Press 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 need 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, 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 BIOS 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.

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 make the system unstable and crash in some cases.
