Chapter2. Installation
This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7" x 6.7", 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of
your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical
injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
2.2 Pre-Installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet
or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from
the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,and/or components.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)
ITX-D255R motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM slots.
1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM
may be damaged.
2. Please install the memory module from DDR3_A2 slot for the first priority.
2.3.1 Installation a SO-DIMM
Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.
Step#1] Unlock a SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step#2] Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the break on the slot.
The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause perma- nent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM
if you force the SO- DIMM into the slot in the incorrect orientation.
Step#3] Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM
is properly seated.

2.4 Expansion Slot (PCI Slot)
There is 1 PCI slot on this motherboard.
PCI Slot : The PCI slot is used to install an expansion card that has 32-bit PCI interface.
2.4.1 Installing a Expansion Card
Step#1] Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged.
Please read the documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start
the installation.
Step#2] Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
Step#3] Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws for later use.
Step#4] Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.
Step#5] Fasten the card to the chassis with screws. Step 6. Replace the system cover.
2.5 Jumper Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins,
the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”.
The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”
when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
2.5.1 Clear CMOS Jumper (JCMOS)
Connector SPEC Shape Jumper Description Remark
3-Pin 2.54 Pitch
1 - 2 : Normal
2 - 3 : Clear CMOS Default is Normal
NOTE] JCMOS allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn off the
computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on
JCMOS for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you
just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be
noted that the password, date, time, user default profile and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.
2.5.2 Panel Power Jumper (JLV)
Connector SPEC Shape Jumper Description Remark
3-Pin 2.54 Pitch
1 - 2 : +3.3V (LCD 15”)
2 - 3 : +5.0V (LCD 17”) Default is +3.3V
2.5.3 AT/ATX Mode Jumper (JAT/ATX)
Connector SPEC Shape Jumper Description Remark
3-Pin 2.54 Pitch
1 - 2 : AT Mode
2 - 3 : ATX Mode (Button On) Default is ATX Mode
2.5.4 COM(4~6) Port Power Setting Jumper (JCOM4/JCOM5/JCOM6 PWR)
Connector SPEC Shape Jumper Description Remark
3-Pin 2.54 Pitch
1 - 2 : +5 V
2 - 3 : +12V Default is +5V
