Block Diagram

Installation

This is a Micro-ATX (9.6-in x 9.6-in x 1.56-in, 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm x 3.97 cm) form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.

Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
5. Heatsink (The thermal solution of whole system needs to be designed additionally.)

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

Installation of Memory Modules (LONG-DIMM)
IMB-1315 provides two 288-pin DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) Long-DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR5 DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one memory module installed.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3 or DDR4 memory module into a DDR5 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the moth-erboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot in the incorrect orientation.

1. Open the DIMM slot latches.
2. Aligh the notch. Carefully press down until the DIMM slides into the slot.
3. The latches snap back into place.

Expansion Slots
There are 4 PCI Express slots and 2 M.2 sockets on this motherboard.

PCIE slot:
PCIE1 (PCIE 5.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width cards.
PCIE2 (PCIE 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE3 (PCIE 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE4 (PCIE 3.0 x4 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width cards.

M.2 sockets: 1 x M.2 (Key E, 2230) with CNVi for Wireless

1 x M.2 (Key M, 2242/2280/25110) with PCIe Gen3 x1 for SSD

M.2 Key-E Socket (M2_E1)

M.2 Key-M Socket (M2_M1)

Jumpers Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Short.” If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open.” The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

NOTE: CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system param-eters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password, date, and time will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

UEFI SETUP UTILITY

Introduction

ASRock Industrial UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a BIOS utility which offers tweak-friendly options in an advanced viewing interface. The UEFI system works with a USB mouse and offers users a faster, sleeker experience.
This BIOS utility can perform the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, re-cord hardware parameters of the system, load operating system, and so on. The battery on the motherboard supplies the power needed to the CMOS when the system power is turned off, and the values configured in the UEFI utility are kept in the CMOS.
Please note that inadequate BIOS settings may cause system instability, mulfunction or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you do not alter the UEFI default configurations or change the settings only with the assistance of a trained service person.
If the system becomes unstable or fails to boot after you change the setting, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. See your motherboard manual for instructions.

Entering BIOS Setup
You may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY by pressing or right after you power on the computer; otherwise, the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) will continue with its test routines. If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by pressing + + , or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.
This setup guide explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to configure all the supported system. The screenshots in this manual are for reference only. UEFI Settings and options may vary owing to different BIOS release versions or CPU installed. Please refer to the actual BIOS version of the motherboard you purchased for detailed screens, settings and options.

UEFI Menu Bar
The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections:

Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the following UEFI setup screens and descriptions for reference purpose only, and may vary from the latest BIOS and do not exactly match what you see on your screen.

Navigation Keys
Use < > key or < > key to choose among the selections on the menu bar, and use key or < > key or key < > to move the cursor up or down to select items, then press to get into the sub screen. You can also use the mouse to click your required item.

Main Screen
When you enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY, the Main screen will appear and display the system overview.

Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the following UEFI setup screens and descriptions are for reference purpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see on your screen. Options may also vary depending on the features of your motherboard.

Advanced Screen
In t his sect ion, you may set t he configurat ions fort he following items: CPU Configuration, Chipset Configuration, Storage Configuration, Super IO Configuration, ACPI Configuration, USB Configuration, Trusted Computing, and Thunderbolt (TM) Configuration.Setting wrong values in this section may cause the system to malfunction.

Instant Flash
Instant Flash is a UEFI flash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This convenient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows®. Just launch this tool and save the new UEFI file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard drive, and then you can update your UEFI in only a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file system. If you execute Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the UEFI files and their respective information.
