Chapter 1 1-1 Hardware Installation Installation Precautions The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures: • Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.
1-2 Product Specifications CPU Memory LAN Onboard Graphics Storage Interface USB Support for Intel® Atom® C2000 series processor L1/L2 cache varies with CPU 4 x 1.35V/1.
BIOS 1 x 64 Mbit flash AMI BIOS Form Factor Mini ITX Form Factor; 6.7 inch x 6.7 inch GIGABYTE reserves the right to make any changes to the product specifications and product-related information without prior notice.
1-3 Installing the Memory Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory: • Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. • Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage. • Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
1-3-2 Installing a Memory Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure to install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard. Installation Step: Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down. Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. NOTE! DIMM must be populated in order starting from DIMM_P0_A0 socket.

1/2) ATX1/P12V_AUX1 (2x12 Main Power Connector and 2x2 12V Power Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1 (CPU Fan/System Fan Headers) The motherboard has one 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU0_FAN), and one 4-pin (SYS_FAN1) system fan headers. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design.
6) SATA0/SATA1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors) The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. 7 7 1 1 When SATA_DOM0 jumper are When SATA_DOM0 jumper are set to 1-2 pin: set to 2-3 pin: SATA0 SATA1 Pin No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Definition GND TXP TXN GND RXN RXP P5V Pin No.
