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)
SBC-211 provides one 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM slot, which
supports single channel DDR3L SDRAM only.
Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM
matches the break on the slot.

incorrect orientation.
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-PCIe/mini-SATA
Slots)
There is 1 mini-PCIe slot and 1 mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot on this motherboard.
mini-PCIe slot:
MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half size) is used for PCI Express mini
cards.
mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot:
MINI_PCIE2 (mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot; full size) is used for PCI Ex-
press mini cards or 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 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6. Replace the system cover.

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.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.8, No. 14)
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

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!
SATA2 Connectors These two Serial ATA2
(SATAII_1, SATAII_2: see p.8, No. 7) (SATA2) connectors support
SATA data cables for internal
storage devices. The current
SATA2 interface allows up to
3.0 Gb/s data transfer rate.
USB 2.0 Headers There are three USB 2.0
(see p.8 No. 4) headers on this motherboard.
(9-pin USB0_1, USB2_3, USB4_5)
System Panel Header This header accommodates
(9-pin PANEL1) several system front panel
(see p.8 No. 11) functions.
Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the
chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the
positive and negative pins before connecting the cables.

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.

Chassis Fan Connector Please connect the fan cable
(3-pin CHA_FAN1) to the fan connector and
(see p.8 No. 10) 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.
