Introduction About this Manual This manual can be downloaded from the website, or acquired as an electronic file included in the optional CD/DVD. The manual is subject to change and up- date without notice, and may be based on editions that do not resemble your actual products.
Introduction Static Electricity Precautions It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical dis- charge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage.
Introduction About the Package The system board package contains the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer or sales representative for as- sistance. One system board Two USB cables Two Serial ATA data cables Two Serial ATA power cables One I/O shield One QR (Quick Reference)
Introduction Features Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the sys- tem at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate. DDR3 DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance.
Page 12
Introduction Serial ATA Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. It supports RAID 0/1/5/10.
Page 13
Introduction ACPI STR The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Manage- ment Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

Hardware Installation Important: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.

Hardware Installation The system board supports the following memory interface. Single Channel (SC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits from the memory channels. Dual Channel (DC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
Hardware Installation Installing the DIMM Module Note: The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual board. These illustrations are for reference only. 1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down.
Page 18
Hardware Installation 6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one way.
Hardware Installation The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1156 socket. This socket is exclusively designed for installing a LGA 1156 packaged Intel CPU. Important: 1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1156 socket comes with a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent.
Hardware Installation Installing the CPU 1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down. 2. Disconnect all power cords and cables. 3. Locate the LGA 1156 CPU s o c k e t o n t h e s y s t e m board.
