1.7 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers 1.8.2 CMOS clear (JCMOS1) The AIMB-780 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed.
1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1) The AIMB-780 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU. This feature means the AIMB-780 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped. Table 1.
AIMB-780 has four 240-pin memory sockets for (ECC) DDR3 1066/1333 MHz memory modules with maximum capacity of 16GB (Maximum 4GB for each DIMM). AIMB-780 QG2 SKU supports non-ECC DDR3 memory modules only. AIMB-780 WG2 SKU supports ECC and non-ECC DDR3 memory modules. Please note that AIMB-780 does NOT support registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). Note! 1.10 Memory Installation Procedures To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward.
