vPro™ Technology settings.
1.1 Special features
Intel®Core™2 Processor Ready
This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processor in the LGA775
package. With the new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture technology and 1066/800/
533 MHz FSB, Intel® Core™2 processor is one of the most powerful and energy
efcient CPU in the world.

iQ965-IGM 1-3
DDR2 memory support
The motherboard supports DDR2 memory that features data transfer rates
of 800/667/533 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest
3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR2
architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system
performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 12.8 GB/s.
Without restriction to the memory size across the two channels, the motherboard
allows you to install DIMMs with different memory size and enjoy dual-channel
feature at the same time.
Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s technology and SATA on the go
This motherboard supports the next-generation hard drives based on the Serial ATA
(SATA) 3Gb/s storage specication, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling
the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port
located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup
photos, videos and other entertainment contents to external devices.
IEEE 1394a support (optional)
The IEEE 1394a interface provides high speed digital interface for audio/video
appliances such as digital television, digital video camcorders, storage peripherals
& other PC portable devices.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Dual RAID solution (Intel®ICH8DO only)
The Intel® ICH8DO chipset incorporates six Serial ATA connectors with high
performance RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 functions. The JMicron controller provides
another two Serial ATA connectors for RAID 0, 1, and JBOD functions. Making this
motherboard an ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data back up
protection without the cost of add-on cards.
S/PDIF digital sound ready
The motherboard supports the S/PDIF-out (SONY-PHILIPS Digtal Interface)
function through the S/PDIF interface at mid-board. It allows to transfer digital
audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.
High Denition Audio
Enjoy high-end sound quality on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High
Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC enables high-quality
192KHz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions and multi-
streaming technology that simultaneously sends different audio streams to different
destinations. You can now talk to your partners on the headphone while playing
multi-channel network games.

1.2 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Use 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.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before 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.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate
that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that
you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing
or plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the
location of the onboard LED.

1.3 Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to
ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
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.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.
1.3.1 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.
1.3.2 Screw holes
Place eight (8) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard
to the chassis.
Place this side towards
the rear of the chassis
