Installation Procedure
2.1.
Installing the Board
Follow these steps to get the board up and running. If the board already has components like RAM and CPU cooler
mounted, leave out the relevant steps below.
1.
Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU)
or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Failure to do so
might damage components (RAM, LAN cards etc.). Only use a standard ATX PSU. Running the
board with a non-compliant ATX PSU may damage the board within minutes
.
2.
Insert the DDR3L SO-DIMM 204-pin SO-DIMM module(s)
Be careful to push it in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. For a list of approved DDR3L SO-DIMMs contact your
Distributor or FAE. For more information refer to chapter “System Memory Support”.
3.
Cooler Installation
The mITX-BDW-U comes with a passive heatsink pre-installed and a separate fan, that can be mounted onto the
heatsink, should the system require additional airflow. Connect Cooler Fan electrically to the FANCPU connector.
4.
Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS settings.
5.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX+12 V- 4p connector or alternatively connect a 19 V power adapter to the I/O
power jack.
6.
Power Button
If the board does not start by itself when switching on the ATX PSU AC mains, then follow these instructions to start
the board. Install the Always On Jumper in the Always On position or toggle the PWRBTN_IN# signal (available in the
FRONTPNL connector), by momentary shorting pins 16 (PWRBTN_IN#) and pin 18 (GND). A “normally open” switch is
recommended.
7.
BIOS Setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <F2> key during boot up.
Enter “Exit Menu” and Load Setup Defaults.
Refer to the “BIOS Configuration / Setup“ section of this manual for details on BIOS setup.
To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate “Load Default BIOS
Settings” Jumper for approximately 10 sec (without power connected).
8.
Mounting the board in chassis
When mounting the board to the chassis etc. take note that the board contains components
on both sides of the PCB that can easily be damaged if board is handled without reasonable
care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no function.
When fixing the Motherboard on a chassis it is recommended to use screws with integrated washer and a diameter of
approximately 7 mm. Do not use washers with teeth, as they can damage the PCB and cause short circuits.
