4. To remove the Memory modules, please push the tabs outwards, and the memory modules will be automatically disengaged.
3.3 Installing LGA1150 Intel® Core-i CPU, Heatsink, and Fan BNX-H81 supports Intel® LGA1150 Gen-4 Core-i Processor. For a reference list of supported processor, please refer to the specification section. The socket 1150 is formed up with sensitive arrays of pins, improper or careless installation may cause permanent harm to the socket pins.
Page 25
Step (B): Install the Processor 1. Hold the processor with your thumb and index finger as shown to align your fingers with the socket cutouts. 2. Make sure that the processor Pin#1 indicator (gold triangle) is aligned with the Pin#1 chamfer on the socket. 3.
Page 26
Step (D): Install a Heatsink Note: Heatsinks that come with boxed Intel® processors use pre-applied Thermal Interface Material (TIM) and do not need thermal grease. If a different heatsink is used, please refer to manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Place the heatsink onto the processor socket.
3.4 Adding Power Connectors BNX-H81 motherboard requires correct power plan to properly support Intel® LGA1150 Gen-4 Core-i Processor. Please add the 24-pin ATX Power Connector on the blue connector, and 8-pin 12Vdc Power Connector on the red connector. In case your power supply does not come with 8-pin 12Vdc Power Connector, please at least add the 4-pin 12Vdc Power Connector onto it.
3.5 Add CompactFlash Card Please do not add CFast card onto this socket. Make sure to shut down the system board before adding your CompactFlash card.
About the BIOS The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
4.1 Entering Setup When the system is powered on, the BIOS will initiate the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks. If an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways: If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps will be transmitted. ...
Figure 4-1: BIOS Setup Utility Main Menu The menu bar on the top of the first screen has the following submenus: Main: Basic system configuration. Advanced: Advanced system settings. Chipset: Other functions. Boot: System boot configuration. ...
4.5 The Advanced Menu In this section, you may set the configurations for the following items: Super IO Configuration, H/W Monitor, Serial Port Console Redirection, Power Management, CPU Configuration, SATA Configuration, USB Configuration, and LAN Bypass Configuration. Super IO Configuration Serial Port 0/1 Configuration Serial Port This setting enables/disables the specified serial port.
