Important precautions
WARNING!
When installing the motherboard into a chassis or
performing upgrades:
Always disconnect the power cord and plug before
assembling or upgrading. Parts on the motherboard can
remain powered even when the power supply is
switched off unless the power cord is disconnected.
Route wiring away from sharp edges, heat sources and
cooling fans.
Pay attention to the thermal requirements as stated in
the sections that follow. This motherboard requires
suitable airflow to maintain an ambient temperature
within the operating range.
When installing expansion cards, pay attention to the
maximum loads as stated. Use UL-approved peripheral
cards only.
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Refer to
the
Endura Q35 Motherboard Product Manual for
further information.
Electrostatic discharge
WARNING!
This product contains static-sensitive components. Use
the electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures described
at www.radisys.com/esd when you work with the
motherboard.
Wear a grounded wrist strap at a grounded work area
when you touch or come in contact with the
motherboard.
Keep the motherboard in its ESD shielding bag until a
step instructs you to remove it.
Failure to employ adequate anti-static measures can
cause irreparable damage to the motherboard and other
hardware components.

Power supply
The QZ35Q ATX motherboard requires a 12V ATX power supply. Although most power supplies
generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. Make sure that the power
supply you select can provide a 2-Amp current supply on a 5V standby rail.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high-quality power supply that meets 12V ATX power supply
specification 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V 4-pin power connection (J41) be used for
high-load configurations. In areas where power transmissions are present, you may choose to install a
line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge
protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
Connecting the power supply
1. Ensure that the AC power cord is disconnected.
2. Attach the 24-pin main power supply connector to the 24-pin ATX power connector on the
motherboard (J40).
3. Insert the 4-pin power supply into the 4-pin ATX 12V connector (J41).
4. Connect the AC power cord.
Processor support
The motherboard supports the following Intel® embedded processors.
Intel Core™ 2 Duo E6400
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Intel Pentium® Dual-Core E2160
Intel Celeron® 440
If a processor you are interested in is not mentioned in this list, refer to the Procelerant Endura Q35
ATX Motherboard Tested Processors List on the RadiSys Web site for the latest information.
CPU and active heatsink Installation
Refer to the installation instructions accompanying the processor, or visit the Intel web site to view the
Boxed Intel® Processors in the 775-land Package - Integration Video.
If you purchase a CPU without active heatsink, make sure that you use only an Intel-certified, multi-
directional heatsink and fan.
WARNING!
Be careful not to bend the pins when installing or removing the CPU. This is a common cause of system
failure. To avoid bending the pins, handle the CPU with extreme care and insert it straight down into the
CPU socket. When removing the CPU, pull it straight up out of the socket.

Configuring BIOS settings
5
System memory
The motherboard provides four DIMM memory sockets. It supports up to 8 GB of unbuffered non-ECC
DDR2 677/800 MHz in 4 DIMMs. Refer to the Endura QZ35Q downloads page on the RadiSys Web
site for a list of tested memory modules for this motherboard.
Front panel I/O header
The front panel I/O header (JF1) is located by the edge of the motherboard, near the IDE and SATA
connectors. This header contains pins for various buttons and indicators that are typically on the front of
the chassis.
Jumpers
You may notice jumpers installed in various locations on the motherboard. The factory settings should
work for most applications, and will only need to be changed in rare circumstances. Refer to the
Procelerant Endura Q35 Motherboard Product Manual for further information.
Configuring BIOS settings
Most of BIOS configurations are handled by the BIOS setup utility, which stores configuration settings in
non-volatile flash memory.
It is a good idea to check the BIOS settings before installing the operating system to make sure the
default settings are appropriate for devices you have installed. To enter the BIOS setup utility, press the
Delete key during system startup. After installing the operating system, you may also want to change
the boot order in the BIOS, so that the hard disk is checked first.
If problems are encountered during system startup, error messages may be displayed on the monitor.
You may also want to use a diagnostic card that reads POST codes to determine where the system
encountered problems.
For further information, refer to the Procelerant Endura Q35 Motherboard Product Manual and BIOS
setup utility screen help.
