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 installa-
tion 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 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.
• DDR3
DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. The advantages of
DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than DDR2.
• Graphics
The integrated AST1400 graphics engine delivering an excellent blend of graphics performance
and features to meet business needs provides excellent video and 2D graphics with outstand-
ing graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver the performance and compatibility
needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. Supports 1 VGA interface for display
output.
• 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 4 PCIe x16 Gen 3 and 2 PCIe x8 Gen 3.
• Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification. With speed of
up to 3Gb/s (SATA 2.0) and 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), it improves hard drive performance faster than
the standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The bandwidth of the SATA 3.0
will be limited by carrier board design.
• Gigabit LAN
The Intel®82580 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller supports up to 1Gbps data transmis-
sion.
• 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
Management 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:
If you are using the Wake-On-USB Keyboard/Mouse function for 2 USB ports, the
5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥1.5A. For 3 or more
USB ports, the 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥2A.
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
Chapter 1 Introduction www.dfi.com
Important:
The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥790mA.
• 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 system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/second band-
width while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a marked improvement in
device transfer speeds between your computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible
external Plug and Play peripherals.

Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk drives, add-in
boards, and other components. Perform installation procedures at an ESD workstation
only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wear-
ing 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.
Important:
When the Standby Power LED lit green, it indicates that there is power on the system
board. Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any devices.
Failure to do so will cause severe damage to the motherboard and components.

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.
Quad Channel (QC)
Data will be expanded to 256 bits from the memory channels because it quadruples the avail-
able memory bandwidth to provide better performance.
Installing the DIMM Module
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.
Quad Channel DIMMs in the same channel are identical.
Important:
When you are installing the memory modules on the system board, you must popu-
late them in the DDR3_1, DDR3_3, DDR3_5, DDR3_7, DDR3_9, DDR3_11, DDR3_13
or DDR3_15 sockets first.
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 DIMM 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 two surface mount LGA 2011 sockets. This socket is exclu-
sively designed for installing a LGA 2011 packaged Intel CPU.
Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 2011 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 2011 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.
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.
8. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position
to hold the module in place.
