Environmental Safety Instruction

 Avoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in

any area where it may become wet.

 0 to 60 centigrade is th e suitabl e tem perat ure. (The fig ure c omes from the r eques t

of the main chipset)

 Generally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact

malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor a s computer instabi lity resulted fr om corrosio n and oxi dation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.

 The increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.

Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.

 Attention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may

decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

* Note: 1. Many PCs now include XHCI USB controllers which allow for the support of USB 3.0 and higher USB
speeds. This inclusion of XHCI controllers has lessened the need for EHCI USB controllers within platforms.
However, legacy operating systems (OS) may not natively recognize XHCI controllers. You might need to
pre-install XHCI driver while desiring to install a non-xHCI OS (ex.Windows* 7) on Intel platforms which do not
include EHCI controllers. Please contact your representative for more details. 2. Braswell SOC will support
memory speed at 1600 MHz and 1066 MHz only. If 1333 MHz DIMM is installed, it will run at 1066 MHz. It is not
validated while installing 1066MHz DIMM with this SOC.

Introducing BIOS

Notice! The BIOS options in this manual are for reference only. Different

configurations may lead to difference in BIOS screen and BIOS
screens in manual s ar e usu ally the first BIOS v ersion w hen th e b oar d is
released and may be different from your purchased motherboard.
Users are welcome to download the latest BIOS version form our
official website.

The BIOS is a program located o n a Fl ash Me mory on the mot herbo ard. T his pr ogr am
is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer,
the BIOS program will gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test
called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire
hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization.
Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to
operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software
to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your
system performance as its best.

3-1 Entering Setup

Power on the comput er and by pr essi ng < Del> immedi ately allow s you to ent er Set up.
If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET”
button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,
<Alt> and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the
system does not boot, an err or messag e w ill be display ed and y ou w ill ag ain be as ked
