Viglen, EMC and the ‘CE’ mark
CE Marking
European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply with the same standards in all
European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way to a common market. If you buy
a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on the guarantee - it complies with the
currently enforced directive(s).
Introduction to EMC
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency) energy.
Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g. If you turn on
your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the EMC directive.
If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking
Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious repercussions
ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st January 1996 onwards.
If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF energy
(and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as static shocks and
mains voltage transients.
Viglen’s Environment laboratory
To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is
Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters. We
have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully with the correct standards.
To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you follow these
guidelines.
Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions
If you open up your Viglen:
Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.
Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards
Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place
The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage.
Do not remove the ferrite ring from the L.E.D cables.
Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals
This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial areasthis specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse affects which
you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected item. If you still
experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight through to an EMC
engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen computer system, it might
breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC characteristics) of equipment which has
been tampered with or modified.

Processor
The motherboard is designed to support the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and
Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155 socket.
Other processors may be supported in the future. This board is designed to support
processors with a maximum TDP of 65 W.
Chipset
Intel Q77 Express Chipset with Intel Flexible Display Interconnect (Intel FDI) and
Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect provides interfaces to the processor and the
display, USB, SATA, LPC, LAN, and PCI Express interfaces. The Intel Q77 Express
Chipset is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.
Memory
The board has two SO-DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
Two 204-pin DDR3 SDRAM Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SODIMM)
sockets
Support for DDR3 1600 MHz, DDR3 1333 MHz, and DDR3 1066 MHz SODIMMs
Support for 1 Gb, 2 Gb, and 4 Gb memory technology
Support for up to 16 GB of system memory with two SO-DIMMs using 4 Gb
Memory technology
Support for non-ECC memory
Support for 1.5 V (standard voltage) and 1.35 V (low voltage) JEDEC memory
Support for XMP memory
Note: DDR3 1600 MHz SO-DIMMs are only supported by 3rd generation Intel
Core processor family processors
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with SO-DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is
installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the SO-DIMMs may not function under
the determined frequency.

Memory Configurations
The 3rd generation Intel Core processor family and 2nd generation Intel Core processor
Processors support the following types of memory organization:
• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world
applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of
both SO-DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one
channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If
different speeds SO-DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will
be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single
SO-DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device
width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed SO-DIMMs is used
between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
• Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics. The
bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map)
is mapped to dual channel operation; the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is
nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to single channel operation.
Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single channel operation across the
whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is necessary to populate both channels.
Graphics Subsystem
The board supports system graphics through either Intel Graphics Technology
Integrated Graphics
The board supports integrated graphics through the Intel® Flexible Display Interface
(Intel® FDI) for processors with Intel Graphics Technology.
NOTE: If using a processor with integrated graphics, the board will support only two of
the integrated graphics interfaces simultaneously: VGA, HDMI.
Analog Display (VGA)
The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x
1536 (QXGA) at a 75 Hz refresh rate. The VGA port is enabled for POST whenever a
monitor is attached, regardless of the DVI-D connector status.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
The HDMI port supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multichannel
digital audio on a single cable. It is compatible with all ATSC and DVB HDTV standards
and supports 8 full range channels at 24-bit/96kHz audio of lossless audio formats such
as Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio. The maximum supported resolution is 1920
x 1200 at 60 Hz refresh (WUXGA).

NOTE: By default the SATA mode is set to AHCI in the BIOS to improve system
performance. During Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the
AHCI drivers. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 include the
necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install separate
RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process. It is
advised to install the latest AHCI drivers to improve system performance.
Expansion Slots
The motherboard provides the following expansion capability:
One PCI Express Half-Mini Card slot
One PCI Express Full-Mini Card slot
Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the
computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three
years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply
extends the life of the battery.
The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with power applied through the
power supply 5V STBY rail.
NOTE: If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user
will be notified during POST. When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS
Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not
be accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one.
V1.0 Vig660W Motherboard Manual
12
BIOS
The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the
PCI/PCI Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memory device.
SATA Auto Configuration
If you install a SATA device (such as a hard disk drive) in your computer, the autoconfiguration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your
computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a SATA
device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual
configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
BIOS Security Passwords
The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can
be accessed and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user
password can be set for the BIOS Setup and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
The administrator password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup
options. If only the administrator password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password
prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to Setup.
If both the administrator and user passwords are set, you must enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Setup options are then
available for viewing and changing depending on whether the supervisor or user
password was entered.
Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt
is displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the
computer boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can
enter either password to boot the computer.
