ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets
from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when
handling boards and components.

Introduction 1
Chapter 1
Introduction
The MANO870 supports latest Intel rPGA998 CPU-socket interface processor, the 3rd
Generation Intel®Core i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium®/ Celeron®mobile processors which are built on 22
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
5.0Gb/s which twice the speed of previous version. The exceptionally increased interconnect
bit rate from 2.5Gb/s up to 5.0Gb/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 devices for backward compatibility. It supports RAID 0 (Striped disk
array), RAID 1 (Mirroring disk array), RAID 5 (Block Interleaved Distributed Parity) and RAID
10 (A Stripe of Mirrors).
The MANO870 also provides users the performance and protection. The integrated
5.1-channel HD Audio CODEC delivers advanced multi-channel audio and brings you the
experience of home theater-quality sound. Delivers transfer speed ten times faster than
conventional Gigabit Ethernet connections, supporting a high transfer rate up to Gigabit/s.
Gigabit LAN is the networking standards for the future and is ideal for handling large amount of
data such as video, audio, and voice. Supports TPM 1.2 with pin header.

2.3 Jumper Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2
jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. The following
illustration shows how to set up jumper.
Before applying power to MANO870 Series, please make sure all of the jumpers are in factory
default position. Below you can find a summary table and onboard default settings.

2.3.1 Clear CMOS (JCMOS1)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can
clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS,
which includes system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3
for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter
data.
Caution
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on this jumper
default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
Note
You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to
overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU
Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS
can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
2.3.2 AT/ATX Power Mode Selection (JPSON)
This jumper allows you to select AT mode orATX mode.
2.3.3 LVDS Backlight Power Selection (JLVDS_BKL1)
This jumper allows you to select LVDS backlight power.
