MANO861 Mini ITX Board 2. 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 3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated. Locked retaining clip Important Caution 24 A DDR3 SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the SO-DIMM.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board 3.3.4 1. 2. 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 Note 3.4 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. Expansion Card In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
MANO861 Mini ITX Board 3.4.2 Configuring an Expansion Card After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings. 1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 5 for information on BIOS setup. 2. Assign an IRQ to the card if needed. 3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card. 3.4.3 PCI-Express x4 Slot This motherboard supports one PCI-Express x4.
