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.

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, flip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will be
released instantly.

Important

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

Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When con­necting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive
and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be
connected to GND. If the motherboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset
onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advan­tage of the CPU fan control.

Important

Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s o󰘲cial website or
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.

This front panel connector is provided for electrical connection to the front panel
switches & LEDs and is compliant with Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design
Guide.

LVDS Connector: JLVDS1

The LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal) connector provides a digital interface
typically used with flat panels. After connecting an LVDS interface flat panel to
the JLVDS1, be sure to check the panel datasheet and set the LVDS jumper to
proper power voltage.

Important

Pin 12 is a detect pin. When using a customized LVDS cable, pin 12 should be a
signal ground with a low impedance. Otherwise, LVDS will not function.

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 configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system
configuration, set the jumper to clear data.

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.

Full Logo Display

▶

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST mes
sages 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
ficient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you disable this BIOS
feature for a faster boot-up time.

Option ROM Messages

▶

This item is used to determine the display mode when an optional ROM is ini
tialized during POST. When set to [Force BIOS], the display mode used by AMI
BIOS is used. Select [Keep Current] if you want to use the display mode of op­tional ROM.

CPU Configuration

▶

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” sys
tems.

EIST

▶

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynami
cally adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in de­creased average power consumption and decreased average heat produc­tion. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID
input value of the processor when queried.

PCI/PCIE Device Configuration

▶

PCI Latency Timer

▶

This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another
takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct trans
actions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For
better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values.

USB 2.0 (EHCI) Support

▶

This setting disables/enables the USB EHCI controller. The Enhanced Host
Controller Interface (EHCI) specification describes the register-level interface
for a Host Controller for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Revision 2.0.

Serial Port Console Redirection

▶

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 re
direction. 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.

Flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission be
tween two nodes. It’s the process of adjusting the flow 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.

This setting defines the DVMT pre-allocated memory. Pre-allocated memory is
the small amount of system memory made available at boot time by the system
BIOS for video. Pre-allocated memory is also known as locked memory. This is
because it is "locked" for video use only and as such, is invisible and unable to be

used by the operating system.
