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 electronic 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.

Chapter 2 Installations

2.1 Memory Module（（（（DIMM））））Installation

I771 motherboard supports dual DDR2 memory socket for a maximum total memory

of 4GB in DDR2 memory type.

2.1.1 Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the

following steps:

1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align with those on

the memory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR2 module in an upright position until the clips of the slot

close to hold the DDR2 module in place when the DDR2 module touches the

bottom of the slot.

3. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.

2.2 I/O Equipment Installation

2.2.1 12V DC-IN

The Motherboard allows plugging 12V DC-IN jack on the board without another

power module converter under power consumption by Intel Socket P processor in

GM45 with ICH9M-E chipset.

2.2.2 PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse

The Motherboard provides two PS/2 interface. The PS/2 connector supports Keyboard

and Mouse. In other cases, especially in embedded applications, a mouse is not used.

Therefore, the BIOS standard setup menu allows you to select* “All, But Keyboard”

I771 Motherboard User Manual

7

under the “Halt On”. This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system

applications without the system halting under POST.

2.2.3 Serial COM ports

Three RS-232 connectors build in the rear I/O. Fourth optional COM ports support

RS-232. When an optional touch-screen is ordered with PPC, serial com port can

connect to a serial or an optional touch-screen. One optional COM port supports

RS232/422/485 choice through jumper setting.

2.2.4 Internal VGA

The Motherboard has one VGA port that can be connected to an external CRT/ LCD

monitor. Use VGA cable to connect to an external CRT / LCD monitor, and connect

the power cable to the outlet. The VGA connector is a standard 15-pin D-SUB

connector.

2.2.5 Ethernet interface

The Motherboard is equipped with Intel 82574L+82567LM chipset which is fully

compliant with the PCI 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet protocol compatible. It is

supported by major network operating systems. The Ethernet ports provide two

standard RJ-45 jacks.

2.2.6 USB ports

Eight USB devices (four with pin headers) may be connected to the system though an

adapter cable. Various adapters may come with USB ports. USB usually connect the

external system to the system. The USB ports support hot plug-in connection.

Whatever, you should install the device driver before you use the device.

2.2.7 Audio Jack ( Pin-header)

The Audio 5.1 channel capabilities are provided by a VIA VT1708B chipset

supporting digital audio outputs. The audio interface includes Mic-in,: line-in and

line-out.

2.4 Jumper Setting

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. 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. Generally, you

simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

The jumper setting diagram is as below. If a jumper shorts pin 1 and pin 2, the setting

diagram is shown as the right one.

Chapter 7 AMI BIOS SETUP

7.1 Starting Setup

Your computer comes with a hardware configuration program called BIOS Setup that

allows you to view and set system parameters.

The BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) is a layer of software, called ‘firmware’, that

translates instructions from software (such as the operating system) into instructions

that the computer hardware can understand. The BIOS settings also identify installed

devices and establish special features.

 ENTERING BIOS SETUP

You can access the BIOS program just after you turn on your computer. Just press the

DEL key when the following prompt appears:

Press <DEL> to enter Setup.

When you press <DEL> to enter BIOS Setup, the system interrupts the Power-On

Self-Test (POST).

When you first enter the BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen.

You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab. There are

two Main Setup options. They are described in this section. The Main BIOS Setup

screen is shown below.

I771 Motherboard User Manual

42

The Main BIOS setup screen has two main frames. The left frame dis- plays all the

options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured; options in

blue can be. The right frame displays the key leg- end.

Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is

selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will

accompany it.

7.2 System Overview

Use this option to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System

Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard. Press the

<Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fields. The date must be entered in

MM/DD/YY format. The time must be entered in HH:MM:SS format

AHCI Configuration

AHCI mode is enabled in the BIOS where 3 settings are commonly available: IDE,

AHCI, and RAID. The last two (AHCI and RAID) require a floppy disk with the

driver that can be introduced into the operating system installation through F6.

Otherwise, the hard disks won't be detected.

ASF Configuration

Alert Standard Format

The term "system manageability" represents a wide range of technologies that enable

remote system access and control in both OS-present and OS-absent environments.

These technologies are primarily focused on minimizing on-site I/T maintenance,

maximizing system availability and performance to the local user, maximizing remote

visibility of (and access to) local systems by I/T managers and minimizing the system

power consumption required to keep this remote connection intact.
