Chapter 2: Installation This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7” x 6.7”, 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) This motherboard provides two 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots. 1. The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
2.4 Expansion Slots There are 2 M.2 sockets and 1 PCI Express slot on this motherboard. M.2 sockets: 1 x M.2 (Key E, 2230) with PCIe x1, USB 2.0 for Wireless. 1 x M.2 (Key M, 2242/2260/2280) with PCIE x4 . PCIE slot: PCIE1 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width cards.
2.5 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illus- tration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”...
