Safety Information
Electrical safety
zTo prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical
outlet before relocating the system.
zWhen 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.
zBefore connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all
power cables are unplugged.
zSeek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These
devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
zMake 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.
zIf the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
zBefore installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the
manuals that came with the package.
zBefore 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.
zTo avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,
slots, sockets and circuitry.
zAvoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area
where it may become wet.
zPlace the product on a stable surface.
zIf you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.
The symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product
(electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed in
municipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal of electronic
products.

Production Introduction
1.1 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
zUnplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
zUse a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
zHold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
zWhenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
zBefore you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX
power supply 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.

1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the
motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in
the image below.
1.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.
Place this side towards the rear of the
chassis.

1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU) (for i915GM-DCQI only)
The motherboard i915GM-DCQI comes with a surface mount 479-pin Zero Insertion Force
(ZIF) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® M / Celeron M processor (Supports
mPGA479M, Micro-FCPGA).
Take one of the marked corner (with gold
triangle) on the CPU. This mark should
match a specific corner on the socket to
ensure correct installation.
zMake sure the AC power is off before you install the CPU.
zIf installing a dual-core CPU, connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU_FAN1 connector to ensure system stability.
zYour boxed Intel® Pentium® M / Celeron M processor (supports
mPGA479M, Micro-FCPGA) package should come with
installation instructions for the CPU, heatsink, and the retention
mechanism. If the instructions in this section do not match the
CPU documentation, follow the latter.
zUpon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap
is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact
your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see
any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components. Your place of purchase or local distributor will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is
shipment/transit-related.
zKeep the cap after installing the motherboard. Your place of
purchase or local distributor will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with
the cap on the socket.
zThe product warranty does not cover damage to the socket
contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

1.4.1 Installing the CPU
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU,
make sure that the socket
box is facing towards you.
2. The processor socket comes with a
screw to secure the processor, please
unlock the screw first.
