1-2 Processor Overview
The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports a 2nd-generation 64-bit,
Intel® Atom™ C2000 22nm 3-D Tri-Gate SoC (System-on-a-Chip) communication
processor based on low-power Silvermont microarchitecture in an FCBGA 1283
package (C2758 or C2358 formerly Rangeley). Built upon the functionality and
capability of the C2000 Series processor in the low-power 22nm microarchitecture,
the A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard provides unprecedented enhance-
ments to network routing, internet security, system performance, and power ef-
ciency.
The C2000 SoC Series processor features an Out-of-Order Execution Engine and
offers new multi-core and system fabric architecture capable of utilizing eight or two
CPU cores to achieve improved single-thread performance. This new SoC processor
also provides an operating range with wider dynamic power and enhanced power
management. In addition, the A1SRM- LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard supports
Intel® Quickassist Technology, which provides hardware acceleration to help en-
hance cryptographic performance, secure internet trafc, and boost network routing,
freeing up processor resources for application processing. The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F-
2358 model also supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which offers turbo-boost
capabilities to maximize system performance.

1-10
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine how the system will
respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off, (in which case you must press the power
switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See
the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is
Last State.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have
an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: VCCP,
VDIMM, 12V, 5VCC, 3.3VCC, VBAT, 5V Dual, and 3.3V AUX. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.
Environmental Temperature Control
This motherboard came with a passive heatsink built in. Please follow the instruc-
tions given in your system design guide or your system user manual to provide
adequate airow to your system. The onboard BaseBoard Management Controller
(BMC) monitors CPU, memory and motherboard environment temperatures for fan
control and PC health management.
Note : To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor® 5 in the
Windows and Linux operating systems. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user
of certain system events. For example, you can also congure SuperDoctor to
provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series Motherboard User’s Manual
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system
to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating
system-independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 2008
operating Systems. A1SRM Series motherboard supports S0 and S5 only.
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates.
Note 1 : The A1SRM-LN7F/LN5F Series motherboard alternatively sup-
ports a 4-pin 12V DC input power supply for embedded applications. The
12V DC input is recommended up to 14A by design, therefore it provides
up to 168W power input to the motherboard. Please keep onboard power
use within the power limits specied above. Over-current DC power use
may cause damage to the motherboard!
Note 2: Do not use the 4-pin DC power at JPW2 when the 24-pin ATX
power at JPW1 is connected to the power supply. Do not plug in both
JPW2 and JPW1 at the same time.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the web site at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in
areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line
lter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a
power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

2-2 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To avoid dam-
aging your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard
battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static protected.
