2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-945GSE2 may result in permanent damage to the
KINO-945GSE2 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-945GSE2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the KINO-945GSE2, or any other electrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
KINO-945GSE2 Motherboard
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the KINO-945GSE2, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-945GSE2.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:- When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the KINO-945GSE2 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 76
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the KINO-945GSE2 does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components are present.

4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the KINO-945GSE2 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of the KINO-945GSE2
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the KINO-945GSE2 and injury to the
person installing the motherboard.
4.2.1 Installation Notices
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the KINO-945GSE2,
KINO-945GSE2 components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
oThe user manual provides a complete description of the KINO-945GSE2
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
oElectronic components are easily damag ed by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the KINO-945GSE2 on an antistatic pad:
oWhen installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the KINO-945GSE2 off:
oWhen working with the KINO-945GSE2, make sure that it is disconne cted
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Page 49
Before and during the installation of the KINO-945GSE2 DO NOT:
DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are
required for warranty validation.
DO NOT use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors
are properly connected.
DO NOT allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, co nnector pins,
or its components.
4.3 Unpacking
When the KINO-945GSE2 is unpacked, please check all the unpacking list items listed in
Chapter 2 are indeed present. If any of the unpacking list items are not available please
contact the KINO-945GSE2 vendor reseller/vendor where the KINO-945GSE2 was
purchased or contact an IEI sales representative.
KINO-945GSE2 Motherboard
4.4 SO-DIMM Installation
WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanently damage
the KINO-945GSE2. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM
complies with the memory specifications of the KINO-945GSE2.
SO-DIMM specifications compliant with the KINO-945GSE2 are listed
in Chapter 1.
To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to
Figure 4-1.
Page 50
KINO-945GSE2 Motherboard
Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the KINO-945GSE2 on an anti-static pad
with the solder side facing up.
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be oriented in such a
way that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with the
plastic bridge in the socket.
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle. (See
Figure 4-1)
Step 4: Open the SO-DIMM socket arms. Gently pull the arms of the SO-DIMM socket
out and push the rear of the SO-DIMM down. (See
Step 5: Secure the SO-DIMM. Release the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. They clip into
place and secure the SO-DIMM in the socket.Step 0:
Figure 4-1)
Page 51
4.5 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electrical circuit. It consists of two or
three metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To
CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a
jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.
KINO-945GSE2 Motherboard
Before the KINO-945GSE2 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in
accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the KINO-945GSE2 are listed
in
If the KINO-945GSE2 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper
clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper
cap to close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1
and 2.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault
may be corrected by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the
following:
Enter the correct CMOS setting
Load Optimal Defaults
Load Failsafe Defaults.
After having done one of the above, save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup menu.
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the KINO-945GSE2 must have air
vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The KINO-945GSE2 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides
allowing airflow to travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual
power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow
Page 60
through the board surface.

5.1 Introduction
The BIOS is programmed onto the BIOS chip. The BIOS setup program allows changes to
certain system settings. This chapter outlines the options that can be changed.
5.1.1 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is activated when the computer is turned on. The setup program can be
activated in one of two ways.
