Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even

before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer

components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han-

dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are

ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts

or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or con-

nectors by their ends.

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range.

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servic-

ing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power

cord.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other com-

ponents. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD worksta-

tion only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by

wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chas-

sis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system

chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Features

• Watchdog Timer

The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set

time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so

that your system will continue to operate.

• DDR4

DDR4 delivers increased system bandwidth and improves performance. The advantages of

DDR4 provide an extended battery life and improve the performance at a lower power than

DDR3/DDR2.

• Graphics

The integrated Intel®UHD graphics engine delivers an excellent blend of graphics performance

and features to meet business needs. It provides excellent video and 3D graphics with out-

standing graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compat-

ibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports 1 x LVDS/eDP (eDP

available upon request), 1 x HDMI, and 2 x DP++ interfaces for display outputs.

• PCI Express

PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to scale speeds

by forming multiple lanes. The PCI Express architecture also supports high performance graph-

ics infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a PCIe x4.

• Serial ATA

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of

up to 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard parallel

ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

• Gigabit LAN

Two Intel®Gigabit LAN controllers (Intel®I211AT PCIe and Intel®I219V PCIe) support up to

1Gbps data transmission. (CS101-H310)

Two Intel®Gigabit LAN controllers (Intel®I211AT PCIe and Intel®I219LM PCIe) support up to

1Gbps data transmission. (CS101-Q370/C246)

• Audio

The Realtek ALC887-VD2-CG audio codec provides 7.1-channel High Definition audio output.

• Wake-On-LAN

This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. It is

supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Man-

agement Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on

the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt.

• Wake-On-USB

This function allows you to use a USB keyboard or USB mouse to wake up a system from the

S3 (STR - Suspend To RAM) state.

• RTC Timer

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on on the

set date and time.

• ACPI STR

The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)

specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Manage-

ment and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management.

ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM

function.

With the Suspend to RAM function enabled, you can power-off the system at once by pressing

the power button or selecting “Standby” when you shut down Windows®without having to go

through the sometimes tiresome process of closing files, applications and operating system.

This is because the system is capable of storing all programs and data files during the entire

operating session into RAM (Random Access Memory) when it powers-off. The operating ses-

sion will resume exactly where you left off the next time you power-on the system.

• Power Failure Recovery

When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system

manually or let the system power-on automatically.

• USB

The CS101-Q370/C246 board supports the new USB 3.1 Gen 2. It is capable of running at a

maximum transmission speed of up to 10 Gbit/s (1.2 GB/s) and is faster than USB 3.1 Gen

1 (5 Gbit/s, or 625 MB/s), USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s) and USB 1.1 (12Mb/s). USB 3.1

reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward

compatible with USB 2.0. It is a marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your

computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

Chapter 2

The system board supports the following memory interface.

Single Channel (SC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.

Dual Channel (DC)

Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides

better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.

Single Channel

DIMMs are on the same channel.

DIMMs in a channel can be identical or

completely different. However, we highly

recommend using identical DIMMs.

Not all slots need to be populated.

Dual Channel DIMMs of the same memory configuration

are on different channels.

Installing the SODIMM Module

Note:

The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual

board. These illustrations are for reference only.

1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been powered down.

2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.

3. Locate the SODIMM socket on the system board.

4. Push the “ejector tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.

CPU

The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1151 socket. This socket is exclu-

sively designed for installing a LGA 1151 packaged Intel CPU.

Protective

cap

Important:

1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1151 socket comes with a protective

cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If

the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer

immediately.

2. Make sure to keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted and pro-

cessed only if the LGA 1151 socket comes with the protective cap.

Note:

The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual

board. These illustrations are for reference only.

7. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely seated in the

socket. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked

position to hold the module in place.

6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with the “notch”

in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying mechanism ensures the

module can be plugged into the socket in only one way.
