PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x4 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 4 Gigabyte per second (2 directions). The PCI Express architecture also supports high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a PCIe x16 Gen 3 at 16GB/s bandwidth (8GB/s in each direction). • 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. The bandwidth of the SATA 3.0 will be limited by carrier board design. • Gigabit LAN

Two Intel® Gigabit LAN controllers (Intel® I210 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller and In- tel® I217LM Gigabit Ethernet Phy) support up to 1Gbps data transmission. • Audio

This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is This function allows you to use the PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system. supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man- agement Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

Important: • Power Failure Recovery The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA. 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. • Wake-On-USB • 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. The system board supports the new USB 3.0. It is capable of running at a maximum transmis- sion speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is faster than USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.0 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement Important: in device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the accessible external Plug and Play peripherals. 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.

• RTC Timer

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the set date and time.

• 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 Manage- ment 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 ses- sion will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.

6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the CPU module can be plugged into the socket in only one way. The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1150 socket. This socket is exclu- sively designed for installing a LGA 1150 packaged Intel CPU.

Important: 1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1150 socket comes with a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer immediately. 2. Make sure to keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted and pro- cessed only if the LGA 1150 socket comes with the protective cap.

7. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely seated in the socket.

The power connectors from the power supply unit are designed to fit the 24-pin and 8-pin connectors in only one orientation. Make sure to find the proper orientation before plugging the connectors.

The system board requires a minimum of 300 Watt power supply to operate. Your system configuration (CPU power, amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may exceed the minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is provided, we strongly recom- mend that you use a minimum of 400 Watt (or greater) power supply.

Important: Insufficient power supplied to the system may result in instability or the add-in boards and peripherals not functioning properly. Calculating the system’s approximate power usage is important to ensure that the power supply meets the system’s consumption requirements.

Notice: BIOS SPI ROM

1. The Intel® Management Engine has already been integrated into this system board. Due to the safety concerns, the BIOS (SPI ROM) chip cannot be removed from this system board and used on another system board of the same model.

2. The BIOS (SPI ROM) on this system board must be the original equipment from the factory and cannot be used to replace one which has been utilized on other system boards.

3. If you do not follow the methods above, the Intel® Management Engine will not be updated and will cease to be effective.

Note: a. You can take advantage of flash tools to update the default configuration of the BIOS (SPI ROM) to the latest version anytime. b. When the BIOS IC needs to be replaced, you have to populate it properly onto the system board after the EEPROM programmer has been burned and follow the technical person's instructions to confirm that the MAC address should be burned or not.

Chapter 6 - RAID Settings The system board allows configuring RAID on Serial ATA drives. It supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10. To enable the RAID function, the following settings are required. RAID Levels 1. Connect the Serial ATA drives. 2. Configure Serial ATA in the AMI BIOS. RAID 0 (Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance) 3. Configure RAID in the RAID BIOS. RAID 0 uses two new identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Data is divided into stripes and each stripe is written alternately between two disk 4. Install the RAID driver during OS installation. drives. This improves the I/O performance of the drives at different channel; however it is not fault tolerant. A failed disk will result in data loss in the disk array. 5. Install the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers. RAID 1 (Mirroring Disk Array with Fault Tolerance) Step 1: Connect the Serial ATA Drives

RAID 1 copies and maintains an identical image of the data from one drive to the other drive. Refer to chapter 2 for details on connecting the Serial ATA drives. If a drive fails to function, the disk array management software directs all applications to the other drive since it contains a complete copy of the drive’s data. This enhances data protection Important: and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or an existing drive and 1. Make sure you have installed the Serial ATA drives and connected the data cables a new drive but the size of the new drive must be the same or larger than the existing drive. otherwise you won’t be able to enter the RAID BIOS utility. 2. Treat the cables with extreme caution especially while creating RAID. A damaged RAID 5 cable will ruin the entire installation process and operating system. The system will not boot and you will lost all data in the hard drives. Please give special attention RAID 5 stripes data and parity information across hard drives. It is fault tolerant and provides to this warning because there is no way of recovering back the data. better hard drive performance and more storage capacity.

You have successfully installed the driver. However you must continue installing the OS. Leave the floppy disk in the floppy drive until the system reboots itself because Windows setup will need to copy the files again from the floppy disk to the Windows installation folders.
