Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti- static bag until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.
Important: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive 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. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
Safety Measures
· To avoid damage to the system, use the correct AC input voltage range.
· To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

X 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.
DDR4
DDR4 delivers increased system bandwidth and improves performance. The advantages of DDR4 provide an extended battery life and improve the performance at a lower power than DDR3/DDR2.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of up to 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.
Gigabit LAN
The Realtek RTL8119-CG Gigabit Ethernet Controllers support data transmission at 1Gbps.
Audio
The Realtek ALC888S-VD2-GR audio codec provides 7.1 channel High Definition audio output.
Wake-On-LAN
This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft- Off) 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.
Wake-On-USB
This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the S3 (STR – Suspend To RAM) state.

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
ACPI STR
The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.
With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows® without having to go through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system. This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating session will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.
Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power- on the system manually or let the system power-on automatically.
RTC Timer
The Real Time Clock (RTC) installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and time.

The system board supports one dual channel DDR4 SO-DIMM memory module.
Single Channel (SC) Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits 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. Features
· 260-pin SO-DIMM up to 64GB
· DDR4 3200MHz

Installing the SO-DIMM Module

Chapter 2
HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Before installing the memory module, please make sure that the following safety cautions are well-attended.
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 SO-DIMM socket on the system board
4. Make sure the notch on memory card is aligned to the key on the socket.

X System Memory X Installing the SO-DIMM Module Please follow the steps below to install the memory card into the socket.

45° Step 1
Step 2 Step 3

Step 1: Insert the memory card into the slot while making sure 1) the notch and the key are aligned, and 2) the non-connector end rises approximately 45 degrees horizontally. Press the card firmly into the socket while applying and maintaining even pressure on both ends.
Step 2: Press the end of the card far from the socket down while making sure the retention notch and the clip align as indicated by the dotted line in the illustration. If the retention notch and the clip do not align, please remove the card and re-insert it. Press the card all the way down.
Step 3: The clips snap automatically and abruptly to the retention notches of the card sounding a distinctive click, and lock the card in place. Inspect that the clip sits in the notch. If not, please pull the clips outward, release and remove the card, and mount it again.

Installing the M.2 Module
Before installing the M.2 module into the M.2 socket, please make sure that the following safety cautions are well-attended.
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 M.2 socket on the system board 4. Make sure the notch on card is aligned to the key on the socket. 5. Make sure the standoff screw is removed from the standoff.

Chapter 2
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Please follow the steps below to install the card into the socket.
Step 1: Insert the card into the socket at an angle while making sure the notch and key are perfectly aligned.

Step 2: Press the end of the card far from the socket down until against the stand-off.
Step 3: Screw tight the card onto the stand-off with a screw driver and a stand-off screw until the gap between the card and the stand-off closes up. The card should be lying parallel to the board when it’s correctly mounted.

Chapter 3 – BIOS Settings
X Overview
The BIOS is a program that takes care of the basic level of communication between the CPU and peripherals. It contains codes for various advanced features found in this system board.
The BIOS allows you to configure the system and save the configuration in a battery-backed CMOS so that the data retains even when the power is off. In general, the information stored in the CMOS RAM of the EEPROM will stay unchanged unless a configuration change has been made such as a hard drive replaced or a device added.
It is possible that the CMOS battery will fail causing CMOS data loss. If this happens, you need to install a new CMOS battery and reconfigure the BIOS settings.
Note: The BIOS is constantly updated to improve the performance of the system board; therefore the BIOS screens in this chapter may not appear the same as the actual one. These screens are for reference purpose only.
Default Configuration
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions. There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your system configuration.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility can only be operated from the keyboard and all commands are keyboard commands. The commands are available at the right side of each setup screen.
The BIOS Setup Utility does not require an operating system to run. After you power up the system, the BIOS message appears on the screen and the memory count begins. After the memory test, the message “Press DEL to run setup” will appear on the screen. If the message disappears before you respond, restart the system or press the “Reset” button. You may also restart the system by pressing the and keys simultaneously.
