Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis
• Choose a chassis big enough to install this mainboard.
• As some features for this mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard
to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the
features required.
• If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has sufcient
power and space for them.
• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield
of the chassis matches the I/O port conguration of this mainboard. You can nd an I/O shield
specically designed for this mainboard in its package.
2.2 Installing Mainboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the mainboard to be
securely attached, and at the same time, prevent
the system from short circuits. There are two ways
to attach the mainboard to the chassis base:
(1)with studs, or (2) with spacers.
Basically, the best way to attach the board is with
studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you
attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on
the board with the mounting holes on the chassis.
If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you
can attach the board with studs. If the holes line
up and there are only slots, you can only attach with
spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots,
you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned,
check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on.
To install this mainboard:
1. Locate all the screw holes on the mainboard and the chassis base.
2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.
3. Face the mainboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.
4. Line up all the mainboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis.
5. Install the mainboard with screws and have them tightened.

2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler
Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the mainboard supports the CPU.
2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong
direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of
the CPU.
3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.
4. Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise
overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.
5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specications. It is not
recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it
does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency
beyond the proper specications, please do so according to your hardware specications
including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
2.3.1 Installation of the CPU
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the
lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90o.
2. Position the CPU above the socket such that
the CPU corner with the gold triangle matches
the socket corner with a small triangle.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it
ts place.
4. When the CPU is in
place, push down the
socket lever to secure
the CPU.
The lever clicks on the
side tab to indicate that
it is locked.

2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.
2.4 Installation of Memory Modules
This mainboard provides two 204-pin DDRIII (Double Data Rate) SODIMM slots and supports
Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install two
identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRIII DIMM slots
to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.
To install system memory:
1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before
installing or removing memory modules.
2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
3. Insert the SODIMM module at a 45 degree angle.
4. Push the SODIMM module back towards theboard until the clips
lock the module in place.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the
slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
computer or optional boards. Before starting these procedures,
ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching
a grounded metal object briey.
We suggest there should be active cooling to the chipset area in order to let the motherboard
function properly, completely enclosed system environment without adequate air ow will result
in chipset overheat, which is not recommended.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup Utility
BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. It was once called ROM BIOS when it was stored
in a Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip. Now manufacturers would like to store BIOS in EEPROM which
means Electrically Erasable Programmable Memory. BIOS used in this series of mainboard is stored
in EEPROM, and is the rst program to run when you turn on your computer.
BIOS performs the following functions:
1. Initializing and testing hardware in your computer (a process called "POST", for Power On Self
Test).
2. Loading and running your operating system.
3. Helping your operating system and application programs manage your PC hardware by means of
a set of routines called BIOS Run-Time Service.
4.1 About BIOS Setup
BIOS Setup is an interactive BIOS program that you need to run when:
1. Changing the hardware of your system. (For example: installing a new Hard Disk etc.)
2. Modifying the behavior of your computer. (For example: changing the system time or date, or
turning special features on or off etc.)
3. Enhancing your computer's behavior. (For example: speeding up performance by turning on
shadowing or cache)
4.2 To Run BIOS Setup
First access BIOS setup menu by pressing <F1> key after “POST” is complete (before OS is
loaded). After the rst BIOS be setupped(or loaded default values) and save, the <DEL> key will
be pressed if you will enter BIOS setup menu.
4.3 About CMOS
CMOS is the memory maintained by a battery. CMOS is used to store the BIOS settings you have
selected in BIOS Setup. CMOS also maintains the internal clock. Every time you turn on your
computer, the BIOS Looks into CMOS for the settings you have selected and congures your
computer accordingly. If the battery runs out of power, the CMOS data will be lost and POST will
issue a “CMOS invalid” or “CMOS checksum invalid” message. If this happens, you have to replace
the battery and check and congure the BIOS Setup for the new start.
4.4 The POST (Power On Self Test)
POST is an acronym for Power On Self Test. This program will test all things the BIOS does
MINIX
890GX/880G-USB3 User's Manual
- 20 -
before the operating system is started. Each of POST routines is assigned a POST code, a unique
number which is sent to I/O port 080h before the routine is executed.
4.5 BIOS Setup — CMOS Setup Utility
4.5.1 CMOS Setup Utility
After powering up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen,when the rst time or
when CMOS setting wrong, there is following message appears on the screen , but if the rst
rst BIOS be setuped(or loaded default values) and save, the <DEL> key will be pressed if you
will enter BIOS setup menu.
If this message disappears before you respond, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt>+
<Del> keys, or by pressing the reset button on computer chassis. Only when these two methods
should be fail that you restart the system by powering it off and then back on.
After pressing <F1> or <Del> key, the main menu appears.
Press F1 to Run SETUP
•
In order to increase system stability and performance, our engineering staff is constantly
improving the BIOS menu. The BIOS setup screens and descriptions illustrated in this manual
are for your reference only, and may not completely match with what you see on your screen.
