Chapter 2: Installation
This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7” x 6.7”, 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you
install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the
motherboard ts into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and
damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also
remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object
before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or
in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power 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.

12
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)
IMB-197-D provides two 204-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots.
Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM
matches the break on the slot.
1. The SO-DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage
to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at
incorrect orientation.
2. Please do not intermix different voltage SO-DIMMs on this motherboard.
Step 2. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both
ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

13
2.4 Expansion Slots (mini-PCIe and mini-SATA Slots)
There is 1 mini-PCIe slot and 1 mini-SATA slot on this motherboard.
mini-PCIe slot:
MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half size) is used for PCI Express mini
cards.
mini-SATA slot:
MINI_SATA1 (mini-SATA slot; full size) is used for mSATA cards.
Installing an expansion card
Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power
supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware
settings for the card before you start the installation.
Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed
in a chassis).
Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the
screws for later use.
Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

14
2.5 Jumpers Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose
pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap
is placed on these 2 pins.
Jumper Setting Description
Clear CMOS Jumper
(3-pin CLRCMOS1)
(see p.8, No. 33)
Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the
system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug
the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a
jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,
please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need
to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up
the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.
Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole and MAC
address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place
jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps
over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the
motherboard!
Chassis Intrusion Headers This motherboard supports
(2-pin CI1, CI2: see p.8, No. 16) CASE OPEN detection feature
that detects if the chassis cover
has been removed. This feature
requires a chassis with chassis
intrusion detection design.

CPU Fan Connector Please connect the CPU fan
(4-pin CPU_FAN1) cable to the connector and
(see p.8 No. 7) match the black wire to the
ground pin.
Though this motherboard provides 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) support, the 3-Pin
CPU fan still can work successfully even without the fan speed control function.
If you plan to connect the 3-Pin CPU fan to the CPU fan connector on this
motherboard, please connect it to Pin 1-3.
Chassis Fan Connector Please connect the chassis fan
(4-pin CHA_FAN1) cable to the connector and
(see p.8 No. 25) match the black wire to the
ground pin.
Though this motherboard provides 4-Pin chassis fan (Quiet Fan) support,
the 3-Pin chassis fan still can work successfully even without the fan speed
control function. If you plan to connect the 3-Pin chassis fan to the chassis
fan connector on this motherboard, please connect it to Pin 1-3.

PLED (System Power LED):
Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED
is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the sys-
tem is in S1/S3 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S4 sleep
state or powered off (S5).
HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):
Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED
is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly
consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED,
speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this
header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assign-ments are
matched correctly.
USB 2.0 Headers There are two headers on this
(9-pin USB2_4_5, USB2_6_7: motherboard. Each USB 2.0
see p.8, No. 4) header can support two ports.
SATA3 Connectors These two Serial ATA3 (SATA3)
(SATA3_1, SATA3_2: see p.8, No. 5) connectors support SATA data
cables for internal storage
devices. The current SATA3
interface allows up to 6.0 Gb/s
data transfer rate.
Front Panel Audio Header This is an interface for front
(9-pin HD_AUDIO1) panel audio cable that allows

enhance network security,
protects digital identities, and
ensures platform integrity.
1. High Denition Audio supports Jack Sensing, but the panel wire on
the chassis must support HDA to function correctly. Please follow the
instruction in our manual and chassis manual to install your system.
2. If you use AC’97 audio panel, please install it to the front panel audio
header as below:
A. Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.
B. Connect Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R and Audio_L (LIN) to OUT2_L.
