Chapter 2: 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 conguration 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 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)
This motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM
slots.
It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into DDR3
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.
Installing a SO-DIMM
Please make sure to disconnect 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 ts 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 at 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 Slots (PCI Express and mini-PCIe Slots)
There is 1 PCI Express slot and 1 mini-PCIe slot on this motherboard.
PCIE slots:
PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot; Blue) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width
graphics cards.
MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot) is used for PCI Express mini cards.
Installing an 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 rmly 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 Jumpers 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.
Jumper Setting Description
Clear CMOS Jumper
(3-pin CLRCMOS1)
(see p.14, No. 29)
Note: CLRCMOS1 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 CLRCMOS1 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 nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up
the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.
Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole and MAC
address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

/ Serial ATA3 (SATA3) hard disks and RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 and RAID 10)
functions. IMB-161-D / IMB-161-L adopts Intel® H61 chipset that supports Serial
ATA2 (SATA2) hard disks. You may install SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks on this moth-
erboard for internal storage devices. This section will guide you to install the SATA2
/ SATA3 hard disks.
STEP 1: Install the SATA2 / SATA3 hard disks into the drive bays of your chassis.
STEP 2: Connect the SATA power cable to the SATA2 / SATA3 hard disk.
STEP 3: Connect one end of the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA2 /
SATA3 connector.
STEP 4: Connect the other end of the SATA data cable to the SATA2 / SATA3 hard
disk.
2.8 Hot Plug and Hot Swap Functions for SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs
IMB-171-D / IMB-171-L supports Hot Plug for SATA2 / SATA3 in RAID / AHCI

Q77 / H61 chipset provides hardware support for Advanced Host controller Interface
(AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA host controllers developed through a
joint industry effort.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs are NOT set for RAID conguration, it is called
“Hot Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs
while the system is still power-on and in working condition.
However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been
installed into the SATA2 / SATA3 HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs are built as RAID 1 or RAID 5 then it is called “Hot
Swap” for the action to insert and remove the SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs while
the system is still power-on and in working condition.

Chapter 3: UEFI SETUP UTILITY
3.1 Introduction
This section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to congure your
system. The UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. You
may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press
<F2> or <Del> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUP
UTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.
If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by
pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system
chassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.
Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the
following UEFI setup screens and descriptions are for reference
purpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see on
your screen.
3.1.1 UEFI Menu Bar
The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections:
Main To set up the system time/date information
Advanced To set up the advanced UEFI features
H/W Monitor To display current hardware status
Boot To set up the default system device to locate and load the
Operating System
Security To set up the security features
Exit To exit the current screen or the UEFI SETUP UTILITY
Use < > key or < > key to choose among the selections on the menu
bar, and then press <Enter> to get into the sub screen. You can also use the
mouse to click your required item.

Instant Flash
Instant Flash is a UEFI ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This conve-
nient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI without entering
operating systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. Just launch this tool
and save the new UEFI le to your USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard
drive, then you can update your UEFI only in a few clicks without prepar-
ing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash utility. Please
be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le
system. If you execute Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the UEFI
les and their respective information. Select the proper UEFI le to update
your UEFI, and reboot your system after UEFI update process completes.
