Chapter 2 2 Product Introduction This chapter describes the main board features and the new technologies it supports.
2.1 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. Caution! 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.
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis. Warning! Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard. 11 SIMB-M22 User Manual Product Introduction Place this side towards the rear of the chassis. Chapter 2 2.2.

2.4.2 Connect the CPU Fan Cable Connect the CPU fan cable to the CPU_FAN connector on the motherboard. Caution! Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components, and hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors. Warning! After installation, make sure to plug-in the ATX power cable to the motherboard.
2.5.1 DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with one 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SODIMM sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 204pin footprint. DDR3 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets: Chapter 2 2.5 System Memory Product Introduction 2.5.
2.5.3 Installing a DDR3 DIMM Caution! Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 1. 2. 3. 4. Locate the DIMM socket on the board. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully, and keep away of touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch.
Press the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. 2.6 Expansion Slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Warning! 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. 2.6.1 Installing an Expansion Card 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
2.6.2 Configuring an Expansion Card After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings. 1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings if any. 2. Assign an IRQ to the card if needed. Refer to the tables on the next page. 3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card. 2.6.

2.8.2 Front Panel Audio Connector (AAFP) This connector is for a chassis-mounted front panel audio I/O module that supports either HD Audio or legacy AC’‘97 (optional) audio standard. Connect one end of the front panel audio I/O module cable to this connector. Important! For motherboards with the optional HD Audio feature, we recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector to avail of the motherboard’s high-definition audio capability. 2.8.
Important! Make sure that your ATX 12V power supply can provide 8A on the +12V lead and at least 1A on the +5-volt standby lead (+5VSB). The minimum recommended wattage is 230W, or 300W for a fully configured system. The system can become unstable and might experience difficulty powering up if the power supply is inadequate. You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install additional devices. AT Mode ATX Mode 2.8.5 LCD POWER (VDDSAFE) (JBL3) 3.
