2-3. Checking Jumper Settings This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard. Chapter 2 No. Components 1 LCD_SEL 2 LCD_PWR 3 CLR_CMOS 1. LCD_SEL: LCD panel select header (For All-In-One Specification) 1.When your panel connects to LVDS, please check LCD_SEL header setting first. 2.Due to the differences of the panel parameters, please follow the above illustration to place the jumper caps.
PAGE 13
Chapter 2 2. LCD_POWER: LVDS select header (For All-In-One Specification) 3. CLR_CMOS: Clear CMOS jumper The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is labeled. To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings” and then “Save and Exit Setup”.
PAGE 14
2-4. Installing Hardware 2-4-1. Installing the Processor • • Chapter 2 • • This motherboard has an LGA1150 socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory. You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility.
PAGE 15
Chapter 2 D. Rotate the load plate onto the package IHS (Intergraded Heat Spreader). Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate. Secure the load lever with the hook under retention tab. Then the cover will flick automatically. Please save and replace the cover onto the CPU socket if processor is removed.
PAGE 16
2-4-2. Installing the CPU Cooler • • • Chapter 2 • • • Install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket. Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges in case the fan casing and the clips cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least.
PAGE 17
• • This motherboard accommodates one memory module. It can supports one 204-pin DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz. Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules. You must install one module in the slot. Total memory capacity is 8 GB. • Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
PAGE 18
2-4-4. Installing Add-on Cards The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
PAGE 19
Remove a blanking plate from the system case, and insert the wireless card into the PCIE2 slot rightwards, then tighten the screw (Please refer to Picture 1). 2 Press the metal connector of the cable into the connector on the wireless card. Ensure that the metal connector is correctly seated (Please refer to Picture 2).

Chapter 3 Using BIOS About the Setup Utility The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.
PAGE 32
Press the delete key to access BIOS Setup Utility. Chapter 3 Resetting the Default CMOS Values When powering on for the first time, the POST screen may show a “CMOS Settings Wrong” message. This standard message will appear following a clear CMOS data at factory by the manufacturer. You simply need to Load Default Settings to reset the default CMOS values. Note: Changes to system hardware such as different CPU, memories, etc. may also trigger this message.

Chapter 5 Trouble Shooting Start up problems during assembly After assembling the PC for the first time you may experience some start up problems. Before calling for technical support or returning for warranty, this chapter may help to address some of the common questions using some basic troubleshooting tips. a) System does not power up and the fans are not running. 1. Disassemble the PC to remove the VGA adaptor card, DDR memory, LAN, USB and other peripherals including keyboard and mouse.
PAGE 58
Start up problems after prolong use After a prolong period of use your PC may experience start up problems again. This may be caused by breakdown of devices connected to the motherboard such as HDD, CPU fan, etc. The following tips may help to revive the PC or identify the cause of failure. 1. Clear the CMOS values using the CLR_CMOS jumper. Refer to CLR_CMOS jumper in Chapter 2 for Checking Jumper Settings in this user manual. When completed, follow up with a Load Optimised Default in the BIOS setup. 2.
