PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User’s Manual 1-3 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSMi-LN4. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitoring The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage, Memory Voltage , +3.3V, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, and −12V (via SuperO Doctor III).
Chapter 1: Introduction SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system "alive." In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard. Wake Ring-On (WOR) Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state.
PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User’s Manual 1-6 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1 GHz and faster. The PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recommended.
Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2-1 Electro-Static Sensitive Devices Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Precautions • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User's Manual Installation of the Heatsink 1. Locate the CPU Fan on the motherboard. (Refer to the layout on the right for the CPU Fan location.) 2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan and are not interfered with other components. 3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of the heatsink. 4. Remove the thin layer of the protective film from the copper core of the Thermal Grease heatsink.
Chapter 2: Installation 8. Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink fasteners into the mounting holes. 9. Once all four fasteners are securely inserted into the mounting holes and the heatsink is properly installed on the motherboard, connect the heatsink fan wires to the CPU Fan connector. Heatsink Removal 1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply. 2. Disconnect the heatsink fan wires from the CPU fan header. 3.
PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User's Manual 2-4 Installing DDR II Memory Memory Module Installation Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules to prevent any possible damage. 1.

PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User's Manual 2-7 Jumper Settings Explanation of Jumpers To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout pages for jumper locations. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.
Chapter 2: Installation CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS. Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system, remove the AC power cord and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
