Product Warranty
Avalue warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by persons
other than repair personnel authorized by Avalue, or which have been subject to misuse,
abuse, accident or improper installation. Avalue assumes no liability under the terms of this
warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Avalue‟s high quality-control
standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If
any of Avalue‟s products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the
warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of
replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type and
speed, Avalue‟s products model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen
messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any
helpful information available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material authorization)
number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order Card
and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable
container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for
warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to your
dealer.

1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.
1.2 Packing List
Before you begin installing your single board, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
1 x EMX-QM67 Mini-ITX Main board
1 x CD-ROM contains OS drivers
2 x COM cable
2 x SATA cable
1 x I/O Shield
1 x Startup Manual

1.4 Manual Objectives
This manual describes in detail the Avalue Technology EMX-QM67 motherboard Board.
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to be
necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface
with EMX-QM67 series or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary
information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident,
you contact your supplier for guidance.
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that make
booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the description of
the Jumper Settings for details).
If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform us
of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

2.1 Product Overview
Supports latest Intel rPGA998 CPU-socket interface processor, the 2nd Generation Intel®
Core i3, i5, i7, Celeron mobile processors which are built on 32 nm technologies to provide
smart performance and responsiveness on executing tasks, It combines the CPU and GPU to
offer fantastic HD media and graphics, especially on 3D gaming experience. Doubles the
bandwidth of your system memory up to 21GB/s and pumps up the system performance at
lower power.
DMI (Direct Media Interface) architecture connects between the processor and chipset at
5.0GT/s which twice the speed of previous version. The exceptionally increased interconnect
bit rate from 2.5GT/s up to 5.0GT/s would effectively eliminates the bottle neck of the system
performance and brings the most terrific computing experience from the present to the future.
There are 2 of 5 SATA ports running at speed up to 6.0Gb/s, and each port can connect with
any other SATA 3.0Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s devices for backward compatibility. It supports RAID
0(Striped disk array), RAID 1(Mirroring disk array), RAID 5(Block Interleaved Distributed
Parity), RAID 10 (A Stripe of Mirrors).
The MB also provides users the performance and protection. It is integrated 5.1-channel HD
Audio CODEC delivering advanced multi-channel audio and bringing you the experience of
home theater-quality sound. Delivers transfer speed ten times faster than conventional 10/
100 Ethernet connections, supporting a high transfer rate up to Gigabit/s. Gigabit LAN is the
networking standards for the future and is ideal for handing large amount of data such as
video, audio, and voice. Supports TPM 1.2.

2.2 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.
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.
2.2.1 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.

2.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Place this side towards the rear of the
chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.
