Rotate load lever to open position at approximately 135°. Rotate load plate to open position at approximately 150°. Note: Apply pressure to corner with right-hand thumb when opening or closing load lever otherwise lever will bounce back (as a mouse trap) causing bent contacts. Step2 Removing the socket protective cover: Place thumb against the front edge of the protective cover and rest index finger on the rear grip to maintain control of the cover. Lift the front edge of the protective cover to disengage from the socket. Keep control of the cover by holding the rear grip with index finger. Lift protective cover away from the socket, being careful not to touch the electrical contacts. Hardware Installation 21 MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board Note: Vertical removal is NOT recommended, as it requires higher force and can lead to socket contact damage. Caution: Never touch fragile socket contacts to avoid damage and do not touch processor sensitive contacts at any time during installation. Step3 Processor installation: Lift processor package from shipping media by grasping the substrate edges. Scan the processor package gold pads for any presence of foreign material. If necessary, the gold pads can be wiped clean with a soft lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Locate connection 1 indicator on the processor which aligns with connection 1 indicator chamfer on the socket, and notice processor keying features that line up with posts along socket walls. 22 Hardware Installation MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board Grasp the processor with thumb and index finger along the top and bottom edges. (Do not touch the orientation notches.) The socket will have cutouts for your fingers to fit into (see image below). Carefully place the processor into the socket body vertically (see image below). Note: Tilting or roughly shifting it into place can damage socket contacts. Caution: Do not use a vacuum pen for installation. Hardware Installation 23 MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board Verify that package is within the socket body and properly connected to orientation keys. Close the socket (see image below): 1. Gently lower the load plate. 2. Make sure load plate's front edge slides under the shoulder screw cap as the lever is lowered. 3. Latch the lever under the top plate's corner tab, being cautious not to damage the motherboard with the tip of the lever. Step4 Fan heatsink handling: 1. 24 Orientate the CPU cooling fan to fixing holes on the board. Hardware Installation MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board 2. Screw the CPU cooling fan onto the board. 3. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to the CPU fan connector. Step5 Removing the processor: Open the socket: 1. 2. Disengage the load lever. Open the load plate Remove the Processor package, holding along the top and bottom edges, or by using a vacuum pen. Maintain Processor horizontal and remove Processor with a vertical motion to avoid damaging the socket contacts. Place the processor in a specially designed tray or ESD retainer for storage. Do not place directly on table resting on gold lands Hardware Installation 25 MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board Assemble LGA1155 socket protective cover: 1. 2. 3. 4. Hold protective cover at 45 degree angle to the LGA1155 Socket. Carefully lower protective cover on hinge side first, to contact with the outside wall of the LGA1155 Socket: Engage protective cover retention features to outside of LGA1155 Socket, AND align 2 cover corners to socket corners (This step is critical to avoid Bent Contact Damage!). Lower protective cover to attach to the LGA1155 Socket on Shoulder screw side. Perform Visual and Tactile verification that protective cover is properly seated in the LGA1155 Socket: Hold cover and move gently “side by side” to feel the play within the cover and the LGA1155 Socket. 26 Close the socket load plate and engage the load lever (see image below). Hardware Installation MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board 3.2 Installing the Memory The board supports two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM memory sockets with maximum memory capacity up to 16GB. Note: A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 SO-DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. Please follow steps below to install the memory modules: Push down latches on each side of the SO-DIMM socket. Align the memory module with the socket that notches of memory module must match the socket keys for a correct installation. Install the memory module into the socket and push it firmly down until it is fully seated. The socket latches are levered upwards and clipped on to the edges of the SO-DIMM. Install any remaining SO-DIMM modules.

If you do not want to create RAID with the SATA controller, you may prepare only one hard drive. An empty formatted floppy disk. Windows XP setup disk. Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system. Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence. Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS. Making a SATA driver disk. Install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. 1. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system. Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive, and the other end to available SATA port(s) on the board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to the hard drive. 2. Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the BIOS Setup. You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly by system BIOS Setup and set up BIOS boot sequence for the SATA hard drive(s). Configuring SATA for RAID 61 MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board 2.1. Turn on your system, and then press the <Del> button to enter BIOS Setup during running POST (Power-On Self Test).

Press <Enter> and follow on-screen instructions. Please press <Esc> to exit the RAID BIOS utility. Now, you can proceed to install a SATA driver controller and the operating system. 4. Making a SATA driver disk. To install the operating system onto a serial ATA hard disk successfully, you need to install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation. Without the driver, the hard disk may not be recognized during the Windows setup process. First of all, please format a blank floppy disk. Secondly, follow up these steps below to produce a SATA driver disk. Users can insert the driver DVD and the formatted blank floppy disk in another system. And then, please copy all of file of the “f6flpy-x32” folder in the driver DVD to a floppy disk. Note: Please copy all of file of the “f6flpy-x64” folder, if installing 64-bit Windows Operating System. 5. Installing the SATA controller driver during the OS installation Now, the SATA driver disk is ready, and BIOS settings configured, you can proceed to install Windows 2000/XP onto your SATA hard drive using the SATA driver. Here is an example for Windows XP installation. Configuring SATA for RAID 67 MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board 5.1. Restart your system to boot the Windows 2000/XP Setup disk, and press <F6> button as soon as you see the message "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". After pressing the <F6> button, there will be a few moments for some files being loaded before next screen appears. 5.2. When you see the screen below, insert the floppy disk containing the SATA driver and press <S>. 68 Configuring SATA for RAID MANO873 Series All-In-One Mini ITX Board 5.3. If the Setup correctly recognizes the driver of the floppy disk, a controller menu will appear below. Use the <Arrow> keys to select “Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller” and press <Enter>. Then it will begin to load the SATA driver from the floppy disk. Note: If a message on the screen saying that one or some file(s) cannot be found, please check the floppy disk or copy the correct SATA driver again from the driver DVD. Note: If you are installing AHCI, please select “Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller”.
