Chapter 1: System Setup This chapter describes the mainboard features and the new technologies it supports 1.1 Welcome! The mainboard delivers a host of new features and latest technologies, making it another line of BCM long life mainboards! Before you start installing the mainboard, and hardware devices on it, check the items in your package with the list below. If any of the items listed below is damaged of missing, please contact with your vendor. 1.
1.3 1.3.1 Special Features Product Highlights • Intel® i7/i5/i3 LGA1155 32nm Processor Support This mainboard supports the Intel® Intel® i7/i5/i3 32nm/45nm processors in the LGA1155 package. • Intel® Q67 Express Chipset The Intel® Q67 PCH provides all business with more effective costs management, safer computing environment, and deploys more responsive PCs.
1.4 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install mainboard components or change any mainboard settings. • Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component inside the system. • Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity. • Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
1.5 Mainboard Overview Before you install the mainboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the mainboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the mainboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage mainboard components. 1.5.1 Placement Direction When installing the mainboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation.
1.5.2 Mounting Holes Place the screws into the mounting holes indicated by red squares to secure the mainboard to the chassis. Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the mainboard.
1.5.3 Onboard LEDs The mainboard comes with a “Power On LED” (green) and one “Standby Power LED” (red) to indicate the system status. When the “Standby Power LED” lights on: It means the system is either in the standby state, or the power cable is still connected to the power source. The “Power On LED” lights on/off to indicate that the system status, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode.

1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU) This mainboard supports the Intel® LGA1155 socket for Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 32nm desktop processors. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult with your dealer before turning on the system. • Your boxed Intel® LGA1155 processor package should come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan, heatsink, and the retention assembly. • Upon purchase of the mainboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent.
1.6.1 Installing the CPU To install a CPU 1. Locate the CPU socket (LGA1155 Socket) on the mainboard. 2. Unlatch the “CPU Socket Lever” by pressing the lever down and move it away from the main structure of the socket. To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the “CPU Socket Cover” (PnP cap) unless you are going to install a CPU.
3. Lift the load lever up in the direction of the arrow to a 135° angle, so the metal “CPU Socket Cover” can also be lifted. 4. The CPU socket has a plastic protection cap installed on it (black color, a.k.a. “CPU Socket Cover”, or “PnP cap”) in order to protect the socket pins from damage. If you are going to install a CPU, remove the plastic protection cap away from the CPU socket by lifting it up (NOTE: Please do not discard this plastic protection cap.
5. There are two notches on the CPU itself (one on each side), and there are two “Socket Alignment keys” on the CPU socket as well. Line up the two CPU notches with the “Socket Alignment Keys” on the socket, and insert the CPU into the CPU socket slowly. 6. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated into the CPU socket evenly. The “Socket Alignment keys” should fit into the CPU notches.
7. Close the “CPU Socket Cover” by lowering down the “CPU Socket Lever”. Make sure the “CPU Socket Front Plates” are sliding underneath the “Shoulder Screw Cap”. 8. Secure the “CPU Socket Cover” by keep pressing down the “CPU Socket Lever” and move it toward and underneath the “Load Plate Tab”. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation, DO NOT force the CPU into the socket. Otherwise, it might damage the CPU and/or the CPU socket.
1.6.2 Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan The Intel LGA1155 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. • When you purchase a boxed Intel® processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel®-certified multi-directional heatsink and fan. • Your Intel® LGA1155 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a push-pin design and requires no tool to install.
Make sure to orient each fastener with the narrow end of the groove pointing outward. (The photo shows the groove shaded for emphasis.) 2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place. 3. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled “CPU_FAN1”. 1. Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector. Insufficient air flow inside the system chassis may damage the mainboard components.
1.6.3 Uninstalling the CPU Heatsink and Fan. To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the mainboard. 2. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise. 4. Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the mainboard.
5. Rotate each fastener clockwise to ensure correct orientation when reinstalling. The narrow end of the groove should point outward after resetting. (The photo shows the groove shaded for emphasis.
1.7 1.7.1 System Memory Overview The mainboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots. You may ONLY use 1066MHz (PC3-8500), or 1333MHz (PC3-10600); Non-ECC, Un-buffered 1.5V DDR3 memory modules on this board (4GB maximum for each slot). DDR3 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of memory slots.
1.7.2 Dual-Channel Mode Population Rule In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system performance. Please refer to the following illustrations for population rules under Dual-Channel mode. • When install only one DDR3 memory module, install it on “DIMMA1” slot ONLY. • When install only two DDR3 memory module, install them on “DIMMA1” and “DIMMB1” slots ONLY.
1.7.3 Installing DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMS or other peripherals from the system. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the mainboard and the peripherals. 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. 2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
1. A DDR3 memory module is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. 2. DO NOT force the memory module into the socket in order to avoid damaging the memory module and the slot. 3. DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR or DDR2. 4. DDR3 standard IS NOT backward compatible. You shall only install the DDR3 memory modules on this mainboard. 5. To enable the system boot-up successfully, always install the memory module into the DMMA1 slot first.
1.7.4 Removing DIMM Follow these steps to remove a DIMM. 1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM. 2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
1.8 Power Supply 1.8.1 ATX Power Connectors: EATXPWR1, ATX12V1 These ATX power connectors provide connections from power supply unit (PSU) to the mainboard. Both connectors need to be installed in order for the mainboard to function properly. The power supply plugs are designed to fit with these ATX power connectors in one orientation only. To connect these power supply plugs; find the proper orientation first, and then push down the power supply plugs firmly until the connectors are completely fit.
