MANO861 Mini ITX Board System Memory 3.3.1 Overview The motherboard comes with two 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR SO-DIMM but has a 204-pin footprint compared to the 204-pin DDR2 DIMM.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board 3.3.2 Memory Configurations You may install 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR3 SO-DIMMs into the SO-DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. IF you installed four 1GB memory modules, the system may detect less than 3GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions.

MANO861 Mini ITX Board Align a SO-DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the break on the socket. DDR3 SO-DIMM notch Unlocked retaining clip Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board 3.3.4 Removing a SO-DIMM Simultaneously press the retaining clips downward to unlock the SO-DIMM. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket. Unlocked retaining clip Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board 3.4.2 Configuring an Expansion Card After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 5 for information on BIOS setup.
Make sure all correct settings are arranged for your installed microprocessor to prevent the CPU from damages. BIOS The MANO861 Series uses AMI Plug and Play BIOS with a single 32Mbit SPI Flash. System Memory The MANO861 Series supports two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets for a maximum memory of 16GB DDR3 SDRAMs.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board I/O Port Address Map ® ® ® The Intel Xeon E3-1275 / E3-1225 / Intel Core i7 / Core i5 / Core i3 / Pentium ® Celeron processors communicate via I/O ports. Total 1KB port addresses are available for assigning to other devices via I/O expansion cards.
