Chapter 2 Installation

2-1 Before You Begin

Please take note of all precautions before you install anything on to the mainboard or change any of the mainboard settings. Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for example, the metal surface of the power supply—before performing any hardware procedure. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician. Damage to system components, the mainboard, and injury to you may result if power is applied during installation.

2-2 Installing the I/O Shield

The mainboard comes complete with an I/O shield. When installed in the chassis, the shield blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.

Install the I/O shield before installing the mainboard in the chassis. Place the shield inside the chassis. Press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and securely. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly sized shield from the chassis supplier.

2-3 Securing to the Chassis

When installing the mainboard, you have to secure the mainboard into the chassis by fastening with nine screws. Please refer to your chassis manual for instructions on installing.

2-4 Installing System Memory

This mainboard has two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets for DDR3 memory.

y Supports 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs. y Supports 1.5v DDR3-1066/800 SO-DIMMs with single channel architecture

Memory configurations:

To use 1 DIMM: Install into either DIMM slot 1 or slot 2.

To use 2 DIMMs: Install into DIMM slot 1 and DIMM slot 2.

Memory Installation:

DDR3 and DDR2 memory modules are physically different. Please only install DDR3 DIMMs in this mainboard.

To make sure you have the correct DIMM, check that all the notches line up with the DDR3 DIMM slot.

To install the DIMM, follow these steps:

1. Pull both clips on either side of the slot outwards. Align the DIMM module with the slot.

2. Press straight down until the plastic clips close and the module fits tightly into the DIMM slot.

2-5 Installing Expansion Cards

The mainboard provides one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and one mini PCI-E slot.

PCI-E Slot

The design of this motherboard supports PCI-E Express x16 card complying with the PCI Express specification.

ÍNote: This PCI-Express x16 slot only supports x4 bandwidth and is intended

only for use by a graphics card.

To install a PCI Express card:

1. Place the card in an available PCI Express slot and press down on the card until it is completely seated in the slot. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the pins.

2. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

Mini PCI-E Slot

The Mini PCI-E Slot is used to connect compliant Mini PCI-Express x1 devices such as a wireless network card, USB card or other devices.

To install a Mini PCI-E card:

1. Align the notch in the Mini PCI card edge connector with the tab in the slot.

2. Plug the Mini PCI card firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and until it clicks into place.

3. Fasten Mini PCI-E card onto the two nuts with accompanied screws.

2-6 Connecting Cables

This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the mainboard.

Connecting Power Supply Cables

y 24-pin ATX Power

PW2 is the main power supply connector. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the connector on the mainboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure.

Note: If you’d like to use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug in your power

supply cable aligned with pins 1 & 13. The 24-pin main power connector is backwardly compatible with ATX power supplies with 20-pin connectors.

y 4-pin ATX 12V Power

PW12, the 4-pin ATX 12V power connector, is used to provide power to the CPU. Align the power plug to the connector and press firmly until seated.

Connecting Serial ATA (SATA) Cables

SATA cables support the Serial ATA protocol. Each cable can be used to connect one internal SATA drive to mainboard.

The S1 ~S4 connectors are SATAIII connectors operate at a speed up to 6Gb/s.

24-pin ATX Power connector

Connecting to the Internal Headers and Connectors

Front Panel Header

The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the front panel switches and LEDs.

PWR_LED

Attach the front panel power LED cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power LED indicates the system’s status.

System Status Power LED indicates

On The LED is on Off The LED is off

S3 The LED will blink S4 The LED is off

PW_ON

Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the power button on the front panel turns the system on and off rather than using the onboard button.

HD_LED

Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.

Chapter 5 POST Code

This chapter provides the Aptio POST Codes List for the mainboard during the BIOS pre-boot process.

The POST Codes are displayed on the Debug LED readout located directly onboard the mainboard.

Please refer to following “boot phases”, which may apply to various status code & checkpoint descriptions:

♦ Security (SEC) – initial low-level initialization

♦ Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) – memory initialization

♦ Driver Execution Environment (DXE) – main hardware initialization

♦ Boot Device Selection (BDS) – system setup, pre-OS user interface &

selecting a bootable device (CD/DVD, HDD, USB, Network, Shell,.. )

Checkpoint Ranges

Status Code Range Description

01 – 0B SEC execution

0C – 0F SEC errors 10 – 2F PEI execution up to and including memory detection 30 – 4F PEI execution after memory detection 50 – 5F PEI errors 60 – 8F DXE execution up to BDS 90 – CF BDS execution
