Warning
·
The motherboard consists of a great number of ICs and other components. These
ICs might be damaged by the static charge. Therefore, the user must make the
following preparations before installation:
Turn off the power of the computer. It is preferable the power cord be unplugged.
Take care not to contact the metal wires and theirs joints on the motherboard
when handling it.
It is preferable that the operator wear the anti-static wrist strap when handling
the IC components.
Before the ICs are installed, the components of the motherboard should be
placed on the anti-static mat or bag.
When you remove the plug on the DC-IN power supply of the motherboard,
make sure the switch of the power supply is in OFF state.
Installing the motherboard onto the computer case:
For most of the computer cases, the multiple fixing holes left on their bottoms can
be used for securing the motherboard and preventing short circuit. During your
operation, take care not to allow the screws to contact any circuit or part on PCB.
When circuits on the surface of the motherboard get close to the fixing holes, you
can use the plastic sheet to separate the screws from the board surface so as to
avoid damage or failure of the motherboard.

· Align the golden finger of the memory to the groove of the interface slot and
pay attention the concave hole of golden finger should be aligned to the
convex point of the slot.

3. Install expansion slot card
Installing Mini-PCIE extended devices
At the rear panel of motherboard is two Mini-PCIE extended slots, to which the
user can connected WIFI module and Bluetooth module etc.
If the user use a module type mSATA on slot 2, then can just use SINGLE
SATA HDD since MI-PCIE2 share same signal with SATA1.
· Finally, insert the memory into the interface slot gently. If no error occurs at
the moment, insert the card forward in the slot till the white buckle is
automatically engaged in the concave hole at the two sides of the memory.
NOTE: In order to avoid damages to the motherboard or the components, the
user must make sure the power supply to the computer is turned off before the
memory or other component is installed or removed. As the groove is set at the
golden finger of the DDR DIMM, the memory can only be inserted into the slot
with one direction. During installation, the user only needs to align the golden
finger and the dual-channel groove of the interface slot and insert it gently. To
avoid damage, never apply excessive force in that process.

III. BIOS Setting
Note
The descriptions relating to BIOS in this Manual can only be used for reference
as the BIOS version of the motherboard is upgraded continuously. Giada
provides no guarantee that the contents in this Manual be consistent with the
information you acquire.
BIOS is a basic I/O control program saved in the Flash Memory. Bridging the
motherboard and the operating system, BIOS is used for managing the setup of
the related parameters between them. When the computer is activated, the
system is first controlled by the BIOS program. First, a self-detection called
POST is performed to check all hard devices and confirm the parameters of the
synchronous hardware. Once all detections are completed, BIOS will hand over
the controlling to the operating system (OS). As BIOS serves as the only
channel that connects the hardware and software, whether your computer can
run stably and work in optimized state will hinge on how to properly set the
parameters in BIOS. Therefore, the correct setup of BIOS plays a key role in
stably running the system and optimizing its performance.
The CMOS Setup will save the set parameters in the built-in CMOS SRAM on
the motherboard. When the power is shut off, the lithium battery on the
motherboard will provide continuously power for CMOS SRAM. The BIOS setup
program will allow you to configure the following items:
1.HD drive, floppy drive and peripheral devices;
2.Video display type and display items;
3.Password protection;
4.Power management characteristics.
A.State of BIOS Setup
When the computer is started up, BIOS will run the self-detection (Post)
program. This program includes series of diagnosis fixed in BIOS. When this
program is executed, the following information will appear if any error is found:
Press F1 to Run Setup
Press F2 to Load default values and continue
To enter BIOS, you can press F1; to load the default values and enter the
system, you can press F2. After the self-detectionprocess is completed,

information, press [ESC].
you can press DEL to enter the BIOS interface if no error is found. If the
indicative information disappears before you can act, you can shut off the
computer and turn on it again, or you can press the key RESET on the machine
case. To restart your computer, you can also simultaneously press
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>.
B. Function Keys definitions
1. Main menu
When the system enters the CMOS Setup menu, you can see the main menu
on the upper part of the screen, as shown in Figure 3.1. In this main menu, you
can use the left and right direction keys to select the setup items. Once the item
is selected, the lower part of the computer screen will show the details of
setting.
(The options above and their contents may be different from your actual
options, so they are used for reference only).

Quiet Boot
To start the system quietly.
Add On ROM Display Mode [Force BIOS]
This item allows you to set the display mode of the device’s firmware
program. The options are [Force BIOS] and [Keep Current].
Bootup Num-Lock
(To set the state of Num Lock after start-up). Options are OFF and ON. In
other words, this item can be used for setting the state of Num Lock for the
time the system has been started. It can be set on the basis of the needs of
the user and doesn’t affect the performance of the computer.
PS2 Mouse Support
Set to support PS2 mouse. The available options are [Auto] and [Disable].
The default value is Auto.
Wait For“F1” If any Error
(The system waits the user to press F1 if any error occurs from the
computer). The options are Disable and Enable. Normally, it is set as Enable.
Then if the computer has any error, a line of English words will appear on the
screen, reminding the user of pressing F1 to enter CMOS for setup. If it is
set as Disable, that line of English words won’t appear. However, if the words
“wait…” appear during the start up process and you press Del, the system
can also enter CMOS for setup.
Hit “Del” Message Display
(Information is displayed when the computer is started, suggesting the user
can press “Del” to enter the state for CMOS setup). The options are [Disable]
and [Enable]. Normally, [Enable] is selected. After [Enable] is selected, the
information on how to enter the state for CMOS setup will be displayed at the
time the computer is started. If [Disable] is selected, such information won’t
be displayed. However, if you press “Del” when the character “Wait……”
appears at the time the computer is started, the system can also enter the
state for CMOS setup.

If this function is selected, the following information will appear:
Enter New Password hhhhhh
Then, enter the password with not more than eight characters and press
<Enter>. BIOS will requires to enter the password again. Once you enter it
again, BIOS will save the set password.
Once the password item is enabled, you will be required to enter the password
each time before the system goes to the set program of BIOS. The user can set
this item through the Security Option in advanced BIOS properties. If the item
Security Option is set as System, the password will be required to be entered
before the system guides and goes to the set program of BIOS. If set as Setup,
the password will be required to be entered only before the system goes to the
set program of BIOS.
To delete the password, press <Enter> in the popped-up window that requires to
enter the password. Then, information for confirmation will appear on the screen
