Remote Controller. The Remote Receiver is able to receive the multi-direction infrared signals from the Remote Controller (top, down and front), which is compatible with most of the chassis on the market. For the installation guide, please refe to page 28 for details.
WiFi function. With WiFi-802.11n module, you can easily create a wireless environment and enjoy the convenience of wireless network connectivity. Therefore, from anywhere within the signal range, you will be able to play LAN games, connect to the internet, access and share printers, and make Internet phone calls easily.
Page 18
WiFi-802.11n module supports Station mode. You can use the wireless function to connect the access point (AP), or connect with other stations in the wireless range instead. There are two choices provided in station mode: Infrastructure mode and Ad-hoc mode. Please read below introduction for the differences of these two modes.
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 confi guration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fi ts into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
Before you insert the 1155-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Other- wise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.
Page 21
1155-Pin CPU For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket. Step 3-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket by using a purely vertical mo- tion.
Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink This motherboard is equipped with 1155-Pin socket that supports Intel 1155-Pin CPU. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 1155- Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dis- sipation.
