Safety information Electrical safety • •
• • • •
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. When 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. Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all power cables are unplugged. Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit. Make 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. If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety • • • • • •
Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals that came with the package. Before 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. To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry. Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where it may become wet. Place the product on a stable surface. If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service technician or your retailer.
IMPORTANT: This 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.

1 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. • Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits 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.

4 System memory Installing a SO-DIMM WARNING: Unplug the power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. To install a SO-DIMM: 1. Firmly insert a SO-DIMM into the socket at a 30˚ angle with the notch on the SO-DIMM matching the break on the socket. 2. Push down on the SO-DIMM until the retaining clips click into place.
(This is only an example.)
NOTE: A SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. Do not force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the SO-DIMM.
Removing a SO-DIMM Follow these steps to remove a SO-DIMM: 1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the SODIMM. The SO-DIMM will automatically pop up. 2. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket.
(This is only an example.)
TIP: Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. IPX7A-ION Motherboard Reference Guide

5 Expansion slot In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following shows the slot and the expansion card that it supports.
PCI Express card (x16)
Installing an expansion card IMPORTANT: Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. To install an expansion card: 1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card. 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is installed in a chassis). 3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot. 5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier. 6. Replace the system cover.

6 Selectors Clear CMOS and password
This selector allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM and password in CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, system setup parameters, and passwords by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. IMPORTANT: Except when using this function, do not remove the jumper cap from the default position or else there may be a system boot failure! To clear the password and setting: 1. Turn OFF the computer. 2. Move the cap to Clear. 3. Turn ON the computer to POST screen. 4. Turn OFF the computer. 5. Move the cap back to Default. 6. Enter BIOS setup to verify or configure new settings.

7 Connectors ATX power connector
This connector is for the ATX power supply plug. The power supply plug is designed to fit this connector in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connector completely fits. NOTE: Use of a power supply unit (PSU) with a higher power output is recommended when configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate. NOTE: Make sure that your PSU can provide at least the minimum power required by your system. NOTE: If you intend to use an older PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and that the PSU has a minimum power rating of 350 W. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate. NOTE: You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install additional devices.

The Exit menu items allow you to load the optimal or failsafe default values for the BIOS items, and save or discard your changes to the BIOS items. Save Changes and Exit Once you are finished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. An onboard backup battery sustains the CMOS RAM so it stays on even when the PC is turned off. When you select this option, a confirmation window appears. Select Ok to save changes and exit. NOTE: If you attempt to exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the program prompts you with a message asking if you want to save your changes before exiting. Press to save the changes while exiting. Discard Changes and Exit Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you made to the Setup program. If you made changes to fields other than System Date, System Time, and Password, the BIOS asks for a confirmation before exiting.
