Safety Information
Electrical safety
 To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system.
 When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the
devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power
cables
from the existing system before you add a device.

Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables
are
unplugged.

Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could
interrupt the grounding circuit.
 Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area.
 If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local
power company.
 If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your local distributor.
Operation safety
 Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals that
came with the package.
 Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not
damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.

To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets
and
circuitry.
 Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where it may
become wet.
 Place the product on a stable surface.
 If you encounter any technical problems with the product, contact your local distributor

For single 12V operation both connector 24pin and 4pin are required!
24pin ATX connector :
1. Pin8, 14, 16(NC) must NOT be used in single 12V mode
2. Pin9, 10 , 11 are responsible for the operating mode
3. Pin9: Leave open or connect to 12V. Don’t connect to GND
All four +12Vin pins must be connected to the +12V supply source.
Both GND pins (4-pin conn.) & two GND pins (24-pin connector) must be connected to the
supply source.
Important Note (Single 12V mode):
The “output” pins (3.3Vout, 5Vout, 12Vout) provide power for drives or extra devices.
Maximum “output” power ratings:
+3.3V out: max. 4A = combined output current of 3.3V PCIe x16 and 3.3Vout pins (1, 2, 12, 13)
+5V out: max. 9A = combined output current of all USB ports and +5Vout pins (4, 6, 21, 22, 23)
+12V out: max. 6A depends on output power of single 12V PSU! (12Vout = pin 20)
If the mainboard is off no output voltages are available on the 24 pin ATX connec tor
Note: Each single pin of both connectors is capable of max. 8A!

All pins of the 4-pin connector must be used due to peak current in Turbo Mode.
Requirement for Single 12V operation:
IF PIN10 and PIN11 = 12V
&
PIN 9 = open or 12V
only then the mainboard is in Single 12V operating mode.
Single 12V Operation – Cabling Notes
Please use MiTAC suggest cable (3pin terminal connector to 24p ATX + 4pin ATX + SATA power
convert cable (422D83800004)) for single 12V operation. Cable drawing as below:
P1: 3pin terminal connector (Pin1:12v; Pin2:NC; Pin3:GND) for 12V input

This chapter provides users with detailed descriptions on how to set up a basic system
configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
3.1 Staring
To enter the setup screens, perform the following steps:
• Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
• After the <Del> key is pressed, the main BIOS setup menu displays. Other setup screens
can be accessed from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Chipset and Power menus.
3.2 Navigation Keys
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS
setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
Some of the hot keys are <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, and <Arrow> keys.
Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a
menu.
Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys moves the cursor to select a
setup screen or sub-screen.
+− Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys changes the field value of a
particular setup setting.
Tab The <Tab> key selects the setup fields.
F1 The <F1> key displays the General Help screen.
F10 The <F10> key saves any changes made and exits the BIOS setup
utility.
Esc The <Esc> key discards any changes made and exits the BIOS
setup utility.
Enter The <Enter> key displays a sub-screen or changes a selected or
highlighted option in each menu.
