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, con-
tacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or
connectors 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 sys-
tem chassis cover for installation or servicing. 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
components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD
workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD pro-
tection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the
system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with
the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

INTRODUCTION
XFeatures
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
The advantages of DDR4 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower
power than DDR3/DDR2. It is not compatible with DDR3/DDR3L/DDR2.
Graphics
The integrated Intel®HD 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. The system board supports 1 x
VGA and 2 x DP++ interfaces for triple 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 x4 PCI Express lane supports transfer rate of 4 Gigabyte per
second (2 directions). The PCI Express architecture also supports high performance graphics
infrastructure by enhancing the capability of a PCIe x16 Gen 3 at 16GB/s bandwidth (8GB/s in
each direction).
Serial ATA
Serial ATA (SATA) 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 and Intel® I219LM PCI Express Gigabit Ether-
net controllers) support up to 1Gbps data transmission.
Audio
The Realtek ALC262 audio codec provides high-performance of 4-channel High Definition Audio
Codecs.
Power Failure Recovery
When power returns after an AC power failure, you may choose to either power-on the system
manually, let the system power-on automatically, or let the system automatically return to the
last state.
USB
The system board supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, which is capable of running at a maximum trans-
mission speed of up to 5 Gbit/s, or 625 MB/s, faster than 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 exter-
nal Plug and Play peripherals.
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.

Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor,
disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform instal-
lation procedures at an ESD workstation 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
chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain con-
tact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring
ESD protection.
Note:
These optional components are only available upon request.
Important:
When the Standby Power LED lit red, it indicates that there is pow-
er on the system board. Power-off the PC then unplug the power
cord prior to installing any devices. Failure to do so will cause se-
vere damage to the motherboard and components.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
• CS332-C246: Four 288-pin ECC/Non-ECC DIMM up to 64GB
• CS332-Q370: Four 288-pin Non-ECC DIMM up to 64GB
• Dual Channel DDR4 2400/2666 MHz
XSystem Memory
Features
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits 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 identi-
cal 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.
DDR4_1
DDR4_3
DDR4_2
DDR4_4
Before installing the memory module, please make sure that the following safety cautions are
well-attended.
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 DIMM socket on the system board
4. Make sure the notch on memory card is aligned to the key on the socket.
