FCC and DOC Statement on Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-
sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Notice:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the emission
limits.

Introduction
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 dis-
charge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical
damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electro-
static 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 compo-
nents, contacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold
modules or connectors by their ends.
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 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 contact with the system chassis
throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
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 instal-
lation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis
before plugging the power cord.

Introduction
Features
DDR2
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology whose data transfer rate delivers
bandwidth of 4.3 GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the con-
ventional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2 SDRAM modules
work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory voltage for DDR modules. DDR2
also incorporates new innovations such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well
as larger 4-bit pre-fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
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 outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements
deliver the performance and compatibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s
business applications. Supports LVDS and SDVO display outputs.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 2.0a specification.
With speed of up to 3Gb/s (SATA 2.0), it improves hard drive performance faster
than the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The band-
width of the SATA 3.0 will be limited by carrier board design.
Gigabit LAN
The Micrel KSZ9021RNI Ethernet Phy controller supports up to 1Gbps data trans-
mission.

Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk
drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform installation proce-
dures 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 contact with the system chassis
throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
DDR2
The system board is equipped with memory down (single 32-bit channel) that
support DDR2.

2Hardware Installation
Installing QB701-B Series onto a Carrier Board
1. The photo below shows the locations of the mounting holes and the bolts al-
ready fixed in place.
Important:
The carrier board used in this section is for reference purpose only and
may not resemble your carrier board. These illustrations are mainly to
guide you on how to install QB701-B Series onto the carrier board of
your choice.
2. Grasping QB701-B Series by its edges, insert it into the carrier board, and
you will hear a distinctive¨click¨ indicating QB701-B Series is correctly locked
into position.
