These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notice 2

Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

WEEE Statement

Under the European Union (“EU”) Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC, which takes effect on August 13, 2005, products of “electrical and electronic equipment” cannot be discarded as municipal waste anymore and manufacturers of covered electronic equipment will be obligated to take back such products at the end of their useful life. MSI will comply with the product take back requirements at the end of life of MSI-branded products that are sold into the EU. You can return these products to local collection points.

This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding

the components 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.

Memory

The SO-DIMM slot is intended for memory modules.

1. Locate the SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with the

key on the slot and insert the

DIMM into the slot.

2. Push the DIMM gently downwards until the slot levers click and lock the DIMM in

place.

3. To uninstall the DIMM, ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will be

released instantly.

Important

You can barely see the golden nger if the DIMM is properly inserted in the DIMM slot.

Jumper

Important

Avoid adjusting jumpers when the system is on; it will damage the motherboard.

Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1

There is a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery to keep the data of system conguration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system conguration, set the jumper to clear data.

Normal Clear CMOS

Important

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the motherboard.

▶Full Screen Logo Display

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.

When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is displayed for a sufcient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.

▶Bootup NumLock State

This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on. Setting to [Off] will allow users to use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad.

▶Console Redirection

Console Redirection operates in host systems that do not have a monitor and keyboard attached. This setting enables/disables the operation of console redirection. When set to [Enabled], BIOS redirects and sends all contents that should be displayed on the screen to the serial COM port for display on the terminal screen. Besides, all data received from the serial port is interpreted

as keystrokes from a local keyboard.

▶Console Redirection Settings

▶Terminal Type

To operate the system’s console redirection, you need a terminal supporting ANSI terminal protocol and a RS-232 null modem cable connected between the host system and terminal(s). This setting species the type of terminal device for console redirection.

▶ Bits per second, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits

This setting species the transfer rate (bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits) of Console Redirection.

▶Flow Control

Flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes. It’s the process of adjusting the ow of data from one device to another to ensure that the receiving device can handle all of the incoming data. This is particularly important where the sending device is capable of sending data much faster than the receiving device can receive

it.

[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 Sleep Mode

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.
