Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the KINO-AH612. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the KINO-AH612 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
KINO-AH612 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the KINO-AH612 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the KINO-AH612 and injury to the person installing the motherboard. WARNING:...
Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user. The CPU, CPU cooling kit and DIMM are the most critical components of the KINO-AH612. If one of these component is not installed the KINO-AH612 cannot run.
KINO-AH612 To install the CPU, follow the steps below. Step 1: Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and slightly outwards to clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever. See Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: Disengage the CPU Socket Load Lever Step 2: Open the socket and remove the protective cover.
KINO-AH612 Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU socket. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the CPU edge on the CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU.
KINO-AH612 Figure 4-4: Close the Socket LGA1155 Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power supply to the board. 4.3.2 Cooling Kit Installation WARNING: DO NOT attempt to install a push-pin cooling fan.
KINO-AH612 WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat dissipation. To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Secure the cooling kit by fastening the four retention screw of the cooling kit. Step 5: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector on the KINO-AH612. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan blades. 4.3.3 DIMM Installation To install a DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-7.
OPEN a jumper means removing the Figure 4-8: Jumper Locations plastic clip from a jumper. Before the KINO-AH612 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the KINO-AH612 are listed in Table 4-1. Description...
See Figure 4-10 Jumper Location: If the KINO-AH612 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1 and 2.
This section outlines the installation of peripheral devices to the on-board connectors 4.5.1 SATA Drive Connection The KINO-AH612 is shipped with two SATA drive cables. To connect the SATA drives to the connectors, please follow the steps below. Step 1: Locate the connectors.
KINO-AH612 Figure 4-11: SATA Drive Cable Connection Step 3: Connect the cable to the SATA disk. Connect the connector on the other end of the cable to the connector at the back of the SATA drive. See Figure 4-12. Step 4: Connect the SATA power cable.
KINO-AH612 external peripheral interface connector making sure the pins are properly aligned. 4.6.1 Audio Connection The audio jacks on the external audio connector enable the KINO-AH612 to be connected to a stereo sound setup. To install the audio devices, follow the steps below. Page 51...
4.6.2 DVI Connection The KINO-AH612 has a single female DVI-I connector on the external peripheral interface panel. The DVI-I connector is connected to a digital display device. To connect a digital display device to the KINO-AH612, please follow the instructions below.
Once the connectors are properly aligned with the male connector, insert the male connector from the digital display device into the female connector on the KINO-AH612. See Figure 4-14. Figure 4-14: DVI Connector Step 4: Secure the connector. Secure the DVI-I connector from the digital display device to the external interface by tightening the two retention screws on either side of the connector.
Chapter 3. Step 2: Align the connectors. Align the RJ-45 connector on the LAN cable with one of the RJ-45 connectors on the KINO-AH612. See Figure 4-15. Figure 4-15: LAN Connection Step 3: Insert the LAN cable RJ-45 connector. Once aligned, gently insert the LAN cable RJ-45 connector into the on-board RJ-45 connector.
Figure 4-16: USB Connector 4.6.5 VGA Monitor Connection The KINO-AH612 has a single female DB-15 connector on the external peripheral interface panel. The DB-15 connector is connected to a CRT or VGA monitor. To connect a monitor to the KINO-AH612, please follow the instructions below.
