Chapter 2 Installation
This is a mini ITX form factor (6.7'' x 6.7'', 17.02 cm x 17.02 cm) 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.
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.
English

2.3 Installing the CPU
1. Before you insert the 2066-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the
socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not
force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SODIMM)
This motherboard provides four 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots, and
supports Daul Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,
speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 SO-DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three memory
module installed.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.
The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to
the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these
headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause
permanent damage to the motherboard.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power
switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connect-
ing your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the
pin assignments are matched correctly.

2.8 Dua LAN and Teaming Operation Guide
Dual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single
connections to act as one single connection(s) for twice the transmission
bandwidth, making data transmission more effective and improving the quality of
transmission of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents
network downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working
port.
The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with
Teaming enabled.
Before setting up Teaming, please make sure whether your Switch (or Router)
supports Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation). You can specify a preferred
adapter in Intel PROSet. Under normal conditions, the Primary adapter handles all
non-TCP/IP traffic. The Secondary adapter will receive fallback traffic if the primary
fails. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails, but is later restored to an active status,
control is automatically switched back to the Preferred Primary adapter.
Step 1
From Device Manager, open the properties of a team.
Step 2
Click the Settings tab.
Step 3
Click the Modify Team button.
Step 4
Select the adapter you want to be the primary adapter and click the Set Primary
button.
If you do not specify a preferred primary adapter, the software will choose an
adapter of the highest capability (model and speed) to act as the default primary. If
a failover occurs, another adapter becomes the primary. The adapter will, however,
rejoin the team as a non-primary.

Chapter 3 UEFI Setup Utility
3.1 Introduction
Th is section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to configure your system. The
UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. You may run the UEFI
SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press <F2> or <Del> during the
Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY; otherwise, POST will
continue with its test routines.
If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by pressing
<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You may
also restart by turning the system off and then back on.
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.

Multi Core Enhancement
Improve the system's performance by forcing the CPU to perform the highest
frequency on all CPU cores simultaneously. Disable to reduce power consumption .
CPU Ratio
The CPU speed is determined by the CPU Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.
Increasing the CPU Ratio will increase the internal CPU clock speed without
affecting the clock speed of other components.
Flex Ratio
Use this item to set the Flex Ratio.
BCLK Frequency
The CPU speed is determined by the CPU Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.
Increasing the BCLK will increase the internal CPU clock speed but also affect the
clock speed of other components.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Always unplug the power cord before adding, removing or changing any hardware com-
ponents. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard
components.
1. Disconnect the power cable and check whether the PWR LED is off.
2. Unplug all cables, connectors and remove all add-on cards from the motherboard.
Make sure that the jumpers are set to default settings.
3. Confirm that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and the chassis.
4. Install a CPU and fan on the motherboard, then connect the chassis speaker and power
LED.
If there is no power...
1. Confirm that there are no short circuits between the motherboard and the chassis.
2. Make sure that the jumpers are set to default settings.
3. Check the settings of the 115V/230V switch on the power supply.
4. Verify if the battery on the motherboard provides ~3VDC. Install a new battery if it
does not.
If there is no video...
1. Try replugging the monitor cables and power cord.
2. Check for memory errors.
79
Unable to save system setup configurations...
1. Verify if the battery on the motherboard provides ~3VDC. Install a new battery if it
does not.
2. Confirm whether your power supply provides adaquate and stable power.
