You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which includes system setup information such as system passwords. To erase the RTC RAM: 1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Remove the onboard battery. 3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2. 4. Re-install the battery. 5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. 6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data. Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on this jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

Caution 3.1 Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that came with the component. Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply 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. Motherboard Overview Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the motherboard. Warning Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. 3.1.1 Placement Direction When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below. 3.1.2 Screw Holes Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis. Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard. Caution Hardware Installation 21 MANO831 Mini ITX Board Place this side towards the rear of the chassis. 3.2 Central Processing Unit (CPU) ® The motherboard comes with onboard Intel Atom™ D2550 processor. 3.2.1 CPU Location Locate the CPU on the motherboard. 22 Hardware Installation MANO831 Mini ITX Board 3.2.2 The CPU Heatsink and Fan ® Intel Atom™ processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. CPU FAN 1 Caution Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors. Hardware Installation 23 MANO831 Mini ITX Board 3.3 System Memory 3.3.1 Overview The motherboard comes with two 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR SO-DIMM but has a 204-pin footprint compared to the 204-pin DDR2 DIMM. DDR3 SO-DIMM is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets: Channel Socket Single Channel SODIMM_1 SODIMM_2 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets Note: Due to Intel Cedartail limitation, if install 1 memory module only, please slot into DIMM_2. 24 Hardware Installation MANO831 Mini ITX Board 3.3.2 Memory Configurations You may install 1GB and 2GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 SO-DIMMs into the SO-DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. Important 3.3.3 1. IF you installed two 2GB memory modules, the system may detect less than 3GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions. This limitation applies to Windows XP 32-bit version operating system since it does not support PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode. IF you install Windows XP 32-bit version operating system, we recommend that you install less than 3GB of total memory. Installing a SO-DIMM Align a SO-DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the break on the socket. DDR3 SO-DIMM notch Retaining clip Hardware Installation 25 MANO831 Mini ITX Board 2. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated. Retaining clip Important Caution 26 DDR3 SO-DIMM notch A DDR3 SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the SO-DIMM. The DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets do not support DDR2 SO-DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR2 SO-DIMM to the DDR3 SO-DIMM socket. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. Hardware Installation MANO831 Mini ITX Board 3.3.4 1. 2. Removing a SO-DIMM Simultaneously press the retaining clips downward to unlock the SO-DIMM. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket. Retaining clip Note 3.4 DDR3 SO-DIMM notch Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. Expansion Card In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. Warning 3.4.1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Installing an Expansion Card Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis). Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier. Replace the system cover.
