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. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components. 2.1 Screw Holes Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM slots. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged. Installing a SO-DIMM Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or the system components. Step 1. Step 2. Unlock a SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express and mini-PCIe Slots) There is 1 PCI Express slot and 1 mini-PCIe slot on this motherboard. PCIE slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot; Blue) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for PCI Express mini cards. Installing an expansion card Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged.
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” when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
