2 Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com ponents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static electricity may damage the components.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.

CPU Configuration

▶

Hyper-Threading

▶

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instruc tions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Active Processor Cores

▶

This setting specifies the number of active processor cores.

Execute Disable Bit

▶

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of mali cious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

Intel Virtualization Technology

▶

Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple “Virtual” systems.

EIST

▶

Power

ACPI Sleep State

▶

This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI function. If your operating system supports ACPI, you can choose to enter the Standby mode in S1 (POS) or S3 (STR) fashion through the setting of this field.

Restore AC Power Loss

▶

This setting specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt occurs. Available settings are:

[Power Off] Leaves the computer in the power off state.

[Power On] Leaves the computer in the power on state.

[Last State] Restores the system to the previous status

before power failure or interrupt occurred.

Deep S5

▶

The setting enables/disables the Deep S5 power saving mode. S5 is almost the same as G3 Mechanical Off, except that the PSU still supplies power, at a minimum, to the power button to allow return to S0. A full reboot is required. No previous content is retained. Other components may remain powered so the computer can “wake” on input from the keyboard, clock, modem, LAN, or USB device.

** Advanced Resume Events Control **

USB from S3/S4

▶

The item allows the activity of the USB device to wake up the system from S3/S4 sleep state.

OnChip GbE

▶

This field specifies whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes when activity or input signal of onchip LAN is detected.

PCIE/PCI PME

▶

This field specifies whether the system will be awakened from power saving modes when activity or input signal of onboard PCIE/PCI PME is detected.

RTC

▶

When [Enabled], your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time clock) alarm awakens the system from suspend mode.
