Warning: When mounting the board to chassis etc. please notice that the board contains
components on both sides of the PCB which can easily be damaged if board is handled
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function at all.
Visually inspect protective cover for damage
If damage observed, replace the cover.
Note: After cover removal, make sure socket load plate and contacts are free of foreign material. Debris may
be removed with compressed air.
Note: Removing protective cover after CPU insertion will compromise the ability to visually inspect socket.
Processor Installation
Locate Connection 1 indicator and the two orientation key notches.
Grasp the processor with thumb and index finger. (Grasp the edges without the orientation notches.)
The socket has cutouts for your fingers to fit into.
Carefully place the package into the socket body using a purely vertical motion. (Tilting the processor into
place or shifting it into place on the socket can damage the sensitive socket contacts.)
CAUTION: Recommend not to use a Vacuum Pen for installation.
Verify that package is within the socket body and properly mated to the orientation keys
Close the socket by:
A. Close the Load Plate
B. While pressing down lightly on Load Plate, engage the Load Lever.
C. Secure Load Lever with Load Plate tab under retention tab of Load Lever
4. Cooler Installation
Use heat paste or adhesive pads between CPU and cooler and connect the Fan electrically to the
FAN_CPU connector.
5. Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to
change CMOS settings. When using bootable SATA disk, then connect to SATA0 or SATA2 or select in
BIOS “ATA/IDE Configuration” = Enhanced.
6. Connect Power supply
Connect power supply to the board by the ATX/ BTXPWR and 4-pin ATX connectors. For board to operate
connection of both the ATX/BTX and 4-pin ATX (12V) connectors are required.
7. Turn on the power on the ATX/ BTX power supply
8. Power Button
The PWRBTN_IN must be toggled to start the Power supply; this is done by shorting pins 16
(PWRBTN_IN) and pin 18 (GND) on the FRONTPNL connector (see Connector description). A “normally
open” switch can be connected via the FRONTPNL connector.
9. BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the key during boot up.
Enter Exit Menu and Load Optimal Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
10. Mounting the board to chassis
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended using screws with integrated washer and
having diameter of ~7mm.
Note: Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB mounting hole / cause short circuit.
Note: To clear all CMOS settings, including Password protection, move the Clr-CMOS jumper
(with/without power) for ~1 minute. This will also disable any Secure CMOS setup on the board.
Alternatively, turn off power and remove the battery for 1 minute, but be careful to orientate the battery
correctly when reinserted.
