1 Introduction Features Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate. DDR3 DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. It offers peak data transfer rate of up to 21 Gb/s bandwidth.
Introduction 1 Wake-On-LAN This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (SoftOff) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
1 Introduction Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support 720mA. Power Failure Recovery When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either poweron the system manually or let the system power-on automatically.

2 Hardware Installation Important: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis.
Hardware Installation 2 The system board supports the following memory interface. Single Channel (SC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels. Dual Channel (DC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate. Single Channel DIMMs are on the same channel. DIMMs in a channel can be identical or completely different.
2 Hardware Installation Installing the DIM Module Note: The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual board. These illustrations are for reference only. 1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down. 2. Disconnect all power cords and cables. 3. Locate the DIMM socket on the system board. 4. Push the “ejector tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side. Ejector tab Ejector tab 5.
Hardware Installation 6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one way. 7. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely seated in the socket. 8. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position to hold the module in place.
2 Hardware Installation CPU The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1155 socket. This socket is exclusively designed for installing a LGA 1155 packaged Intel CPU. Important: 1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1155 socket comes with a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer immediately. 2. Make sure to keep the protective cap.
Hardware Installation 2 Installing the CPU 1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down. 2. Disconnect all power cords and cables. 3. Locate the LGA 1155 CPU socket on the system board. PS/2 KB/ MS Important: The CPU socket must not come in contact with anything other than the CPU. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU. 4.
2 Hardware Installation 5. Lifting the load lever will at the same time lift the load plate. Lift the load lever up to the angle shown on the photo. 6. Load lever Load plate Remove the protective cap from the CPU socket. The cap is used to protect the CPU socket against dust and harmful particles. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU.
Hardware Installation 7. 2 Insert the CPU into the socket. The gold triangular mark on the CPU must align with the corner of the CPU socket shown on the photo. Gold triangular mark The CPU’s notch will at the same time fit into the socket’s alignment key. Alignment key Important: The CPU will fit in only one orientation and can easily be inserted without exerting any force.

Some of the most common things to check when you encounter problems while using your system are listed below. 1.
Troubleshooting C The picture seems to be constantly moving. 1. The monitor has lost its vertical sync. Adjust the monitor’s vertical sync. 2. Move away any objects, such as another monitor or fan, that may be creating a magnetic field around the display. 3. Make sure your video card’s output frequencies are supported by this monitor. The screen seems to be constantly wavering. 1. If the monitor is close to another monitor, the adjacent monitor may need to be turned off.
C Troubleshooting Hard Drive Hard disk failure. 1. Make sure the correct drive type for the hard disk drive has been entered in the BIOS. 2. If the system is configured with two hard drives, make sure the bootable (first) hard drive is configured as Master and the second hard drive is configured as Slave. The master hard drive must have an active/bootable partition. Excessively long formatting period.
