Overview Thank you for choosng the 86360V4GA, an excellent ndustral computer board. Based on the nnovatve Intel Q87 chpset for optmal system effcency, ® the 86360 accommodates the Intel Haswell processor and supports ® up to 4 DDR3/DDR3L 1333/1600 UDIMM slots to provde the maxmum of 32GB memory capacty.
Hardware Setup Ths chapter provdes you wth the nformaton about hardware setup procedures. Whle dong the nstallaton, be careful n holdng the com- ponents and follow the nstallaton procedures. For some components, f you nstall n the wrong orentaton, the components wll not work prop- erly.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) When nstallng the CPU, make sure that you nstall the cooler to prevent over- heatng. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer. Important Overheating Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup CPU Installation When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsper- son.

Secure the load lever with the hook Make sure the four hooks are in proper under the retention tab. position before you install the cooler. Align the holes on the motherboard with the cooler. Push down the cooler until its four clips get wedged into the holes of the motherboard.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup Memory Dual-Channel Mode In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you nstall memory modules of the same type and densty n dfferent channel DIMM slots. DIMM1 (Channel A) DIMM2 (Channel A) DIMM3 (Channel B) DIMM4 (Channel B) Recommended Memory Population Number of DIMMs installed DIMM1 (ch A)
Installing Memory Modules The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right orientation. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup Power Supply System Power Connector: PWRCONN1 Ths connector allows you to connect a power supply. To connect to the power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply s nserted n the proper orenta- ton and the pns are algned. Then push down the power supply frmly nto the connector.

Hardware Setup Hardware Setup USB 2.0 Port The USB (Unversal Seral Bus) port s for attachng USB devces such as key- board, mouse, or other USB-compatble devces. USB 3.0 Port The USB 3.0 port s backward-compatble wth USB 2.0 devces and supports data transfer rate up to 5 Gbt/s (SuperSpeed).
Connector Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1, SYSFAN2 The fan power connectors support system coolng fan wth +12V. When con- nectng the wre to the connectors, always note that the red wre s the postve and should be connected to the +12V; the black wre s Ground and should be connected to GND.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup GPIO Header: JGPIO1 Ths connector s provded for the General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) perph- eral module. Serial ATA Connector: SATA1 ~ SATA4 Ths connector s a hgh-speed Seral ATA nterface port. Each connector can connect to one Seral ATA devce. Important Please do not fold the SATA cable into a 90-degree angle.
RS-232 Serial Port Connector: COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM7~COM10 RS-232/422/485 Serial Port Connector: COM5, COM6 Ths connector s a 16550A hgh speed communcatons port that sends/receves 16 bytes FIFOs. You can attach a seral devce to t through an optonal seral port bracket.

USB 2.0 Connector: JUSB1, JUSB2 Ths connector, complant wth Intel I/O Connectvty Desgn Gude, s deal for connectng hgh-speed USB nterface perpherals such as USB HDD, dgtal cam- eras, MP3 players, prnters, modems and the lke. Important Note that the pins of VCC and GND must be connected correctly to avoid pos- sible damage.
S/PDIF Header: JSPD1 Ths header s used to connect S/PDIF (Sony & Phlps Dgtal Interconnect For- mat) nterface for dgtal audo transmsson. Audio Amplifier Header: JSPK1 The JAMP1 s used to connect audo amplfers to enhance audo performance. Front Audio Connector: JAUD1 Ths connector allows you to connect the front panel audo and s complant wth Intel Front Panel I/O Connectvty Desgn Gude.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup Chassis Intrusion Header: JCASE1 Ths connector connects to the chasss ntruson swtch cable. If the computer case s opened, the chasss ntruson mechansm wll be actvated. The system wll record ths ntruson and a warnng message wll flash on screen. To clear the warnng, you must enter the BIOS utlty and clear the record.
Jumper Important Avoid adjusting jumpers when the system is on; it will damage the motherboard. Clear CMOS Jumper: JCMOS1 There s a CMOS RAM onboard that has a power supply from an external battery to keep the data of system confguraton. Wth the CMOS RAM, the system can automatcally boot OS every tme t s turned on.
Hardware Setup Hardware Setup Serial Port Pin 9 Function Select Jumper: JCOMP1, JCOMP2 These jumpers specfy the pn 9 functon of the specfed seral ports. JCOMP1 (for COM1) Ring VCC5 +12V JCOMP2 (for COM2) Ring VCC5 +12V Serial Port Power Jumper: JCOMP3, JCOMP4, JCOMP5, JCOMP7 These jumpers specfy the operaton voltage of the onboard seral ports.
