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) MX3150N motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO- DIMM slots, which support Dual Channel DDR3L (low voltage). 1. If you install one memory module only, please install it on DDR3_A1. 2. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot;...
2.4 Expansion Slots (mini-PCIe, mini-SATA and PCI Express Slots) There is 1 mini-PCIe slot, 1 mini-SATA slot and 1 PCI Express slot on this mother- board. mini-PCIe slot: MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half size) is used for PCI Express mini cards. mini-SATA slot: MINI_SATA1 (mini-SATA slot;...
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 illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”...
2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the motherboard! SATA3 Connector This Serial ATA3 (SATA3) connector supports (SATA3_1: see p.8, No.
HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED): Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data. The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc.
CPU Fan Connector Please connect the CPU fan cable to the connector and (4-pin CPU_FAN1) match the black wire to the (see p.8 No. 7) +12V FAN_SPEED FAN_SPEED_CONTROL ground pin. Though this motherboard provides 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) support, the 3-Pin CPU fan still can work successfully even without the fan speed control function.

3.3 Advanced Screen In this section, you may set the configurations for the following items: CPU Configu- ration, Chipset Configuration, Storage Configuration, Super IO Configuration, ACPI Configuration, USB Configuration and Trusted Computing. Setting wrong values in this section may cause the system to malfunction.
3.3.1 CPU Configuration Intel SpeedStep Technology Intel SpeedStep technology is Intel’s new power saving technology. Pro- cessors can switch between multiple frequencies and voltage points to en- able power saving. The default value is [Enabled]. Configuration options: ® [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows 8 / 8.1 and want to en- able this function, please set this item to [Enabled].
3.3.2 Chipset Configuration Primary Graphics Adapter This allows you to select [Onboard] or [PCI Express] as the boot graphic adapter priority. The default value is [PCI Express]. Share Memory Configure the size of memory that is allocated to the integrated graphics processor when the system boots up.
3.3.3 Storage Configuration SATA Controller(s) Use this item to enable or disable the SATA Controller feature. SATA Mode Selection Use this to select SATA mode. Configuration options: [IDE Mode], [AHCI Mode] and [Disabled]. The default value is [AHCI Mode]. AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) supports NCQ and other new features that will improve SATA disk perfor- mance but IDE mode does not have these advantages.
3.3.4 Super IO Configuration COM1 Configuration Use this to set parameters of COM1. Select COM1 port type: [RS232], [RS422] or [RS485]. COM2 Configuration Use this to set parameters of COM2. COM3 Configuration Use this to set parameters of COM3. COM4 Configuration Use this to set parameters of COM4.
3.3.5 ACPI Configuration Suspend to RAM Use this item to select whether to auto-detect or disable the Suspend-to- RAM feature. Select [Auto] will enable this feature if the OS supports it. ACPI HPET Table Use this item to enable or disable ACPI HPET Table. The default value is [Enabled].
3.3.6 USB Configuration Legacy USB Support Use this option to select legacy support for USB devices. There are four configuration options: [Enabled], [Auto] and [UEFI Setup Only]. The default value is [Auto]. Please refer to below descriptions for the details of these four options: [Enabled] - Enables support for legacy USB.
3.4 Hardware Health Event Monitoring Screen In this section, it allows you to monitor the status of the hardware on your system, including the parameters of the CPU temperature, motherboard temperature, CPU fan speed, chassis fan speed, and the critical voltage. CPU_FAN1 Setting This allows you to set CPU_FAN1’s speed.
3.5 Security Screen In this section, you may set, change or clear the supervisor/user password for the system. Supervisor Password Set or change the password for the administrator account. Only the ad- ministrator has authority to change the settings in the UEFI Setup Utility. Leave it blank and press enter to remove the password.
