Product Warranty
We warrant to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized, or which have been subject to misuse,
abuse, accident or improper installation. We assume no liability under the terms of
this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of our high quality-control
standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair
service. If any of the product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during
the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of
replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more
details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example,
CPU type and speed, the products model name, hardware & BIOS
revision number, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything
abnormal and list any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good
return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales
receipt) in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the
purchase date is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it
prepaid to your dealer.

1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.
1.2 Packing List
Before you begin installing your single board, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
1 x MX3955U motherboard
1 x SATA cable
1 x SATA power cable
1 x I/O Shield

1.4 Manual Objectives
This manual describes in details of the MX3955U Motherboard.
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to
be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to set
up MX3955U or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information
is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you
contact your supplier for guidance.
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that
make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the
description of the Jumper Settings for details).
If you have any suggestions or find any errors regarding this manual and want to inform us
of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

2.2 Jumper and Connector List
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a
keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to
configure your system to suit your application.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
The following tables list the function of each of the board’s jumpers and connectors.

Page 35
User’s Manual
MX3955U User’s Manual 35
3.1 Introduction
The BIOS setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. In this
following chapter will describe how to access the BIOS setup program and the
configuration options that may be changed.
3.2 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS
reads the system information contained in the NVRAM and begins the process of checking
out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system
on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> or <F2> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> or <F2> key when the following message appears briefly at the
left-top of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
Press <Del> or <F2> to enter SETUP
If the message disappears before you 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 error
message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP

3.3 Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the
PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to
quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program
using the keyboard.

Navigating Through The Menu Bar
Use the left and right arrow keys to choose the menu you want to be in.
Note: Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.
To Display a Sub Menu
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the sub menu you want. Then press
<Enter>. A “” pointer marks all sub menus.

MX3955U User’s Manual 37
3.4 Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or
<Enter> key.
3.5 In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no
longer is able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the NVRAM settings which
resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we
strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both BIOS Vendor and your systems manufacturer
to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small
change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

3.6 BIOS setup
Once you enter the Aptio Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen. The Main
Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and exit choices. Use the arrow
keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.
3.6.1 Main Menu
This section allows you to record some basic hardware configurations in your computer and
set the system clock.

3.6.1.1 System Language
This option allows choosing the system default language.
3.6.1.2 System Date
Use the system date option to set the system date. Manually enter the day, month and
year.
3.6.1.3 System Time
Use the system time option to set the system time. Manually enter the hours, minutes and
seconds.
Note: The BIOS setup screens shown in this chapter are for reference purposes
only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
3.6.2 Advanced Menu
This section allows you to configure your CPU and other system devices for basic operation
through the following sub-menus.
