Key components of this motherboard are Integrated circuit, and these components will be easily damaged by electrostatic influence. So, before installing the motherboard, you should always keep the following precautions in mind: 1. Hold the board by the edges; don't touch any components or pins on the board
2. Use a anti-static wrist strap or wear anti-static gloves while getting in touch with
integrated circuit components (such as CPU, RAM).
3. Place components in a grounded antistatic bag/pad when these components are
uninstalled.
4.Please make sure the power switch is disconnected before inserting the power
plug.
2.3 CPU & Memory Installation Please follow the steps below to install CPU:
1. Please choose a proper CPU that meets the specification requirements and ensure the
installation is in place.
2. Make sure that the cooling fin of CPU FAN is matching well with the CPU
Board provides one system memory socket. When installing memory bank, please pay
attention to the following two points:
1. When fixing, make sure the notch matchs SO-DIMM socket and then insert memory bank
into the socket. Press it down to tight the connection.
2. Choose the proper memory bank that supports motherboard specification
2.4 Jumper Setting Please setup the jumpers accordingly before installing hardware devices.
Note: How to identify jumper and PIN1 of interface
Please observe the word mark of plug socket, it will use “1” or bold line or triangular symbols;
and please look at the back of PCB,each weld spot has a squar point, that is PIN 1; Usually
there is a withe arrow beside PIN 1.
2.4.1 CMOS Content Clearance /Hold Setting(JCC)
CMOS powered by onboard button battery. Clean CMOS will lead to a permanent
elimination of the previous system setting and back to the original (default setting) system

settings.
Steps :(1)Turn off the computer, disconnect the power supply
(2)Use jumper cap short JCC Pin 1 and Pin 2 for 5~6 sec,Then restore the default
setting of Pin2 and Pin 3.;
(3)Turn on the computer, then press DEL key into the BIOS setting and reload the
optimized defaults.
(4)Save and exit setting.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup BIOS Upgrading BIOS functions as a bridge connecting hardware and operating system. Hardware and
software are upgrading all the time, so when your system goes wrong, for example, your
system can not support the newest CPU, you need to upgrade BIOS to keep up with the latest
technology.
Order Format: FTP /F 6910T105.bin
Remarks:
1. BIOS upgrading is only executed when your system goes wrong.
2. Please use the upgrading program in the CD-ROM provided by us or download the latest
version of the upgrading program on-line
3. Please do not power off or reboot the system when upgrading, otherwise, the BIOS maybe
be damaged or system may not be able to boot again.
4. Please backup your BIOS before upgrading
BIOS Parameter Configuration When the computer is power on, BIOS will conduct self-diagnosis to its hardware on
motherboard and configure hardware parameter, finally the operating system will take control.
BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and O/S. Correct configuration of BIOS
is critical for maintaining system stability and its optimized performance.
BIOS Configuration: 1. Power on or reboot the system, press “DEL” and enter into BIOS SETUP program
2. Use the “←↑→↓”to choose the option which your want to modify, press <Enter> to go to the
sub-menu.
4. Use the “←↑→↓”and <Enter> to modify the value; press”Enter” to modify BIOS options that
you choose
5. At any time, press<Esc> can go back to the father-menu.

Execute Disable Bit Capability
Execute Disable Bit (EDB) is a hardware-based security feature that introduced to its new
generation CPU by Intel, which can help reduce system exposure to viruses and malicious
code. EDB allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can or
cannot execute. To use Execute Disable Bit you must have Windows XP SP2 operating system
to support this function.

Appendix 2: Glossary
ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface for short. ACPI specifications allow
OS to control most power of computer and its extended devices. Windows 98/98SE, Windows
2000 and Windows ME are all support ACPI, it provide users a flexible system power
management.
ATX
AT extended, a motherboard layout complied with modern standard motherboard layout
replacing Baby AT. It changes disposal of many components, and do some new high efficiency
design, so it is widely used now.
BIOS
Basic input/output system. It’s a kind of software including all in/out control code interface in PC.
It will do hardware testing while system is booting, then system runs, it provides an interface
between OS and hardware. BIOS is stored in a ROM chip.
BUS
In a computer system, it’s the channels among different parts for exchanging data; it’s also a
group of hardware lines. BUS here refers to part lines inside CPU and main components of
memory.
Chipset
Integrated chips for executing one or more functions. Here “Chipset” refers to system level
chipset structured by Southbridge & Northbridge; it determines motherboard’s structure and
main functions.
CMOS
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, a widely used semiconductor with the
characteristic of high speed but low-power-consumption. CMOS here refers to part of reserved
space in on-board CMOS RAM, for saving date, time, system information and system
parameter etc.

COM
Computer-Output Microfilmer. A universal serial communication interface, usually adopts
normative DB9 connector.
DIMM
Dual-Inline-Memory-Module. It’s a small circuit board with memory chipset, providing 64bit
RAM bus width.
DRAM
Dynamic Random Access Memorizer. It’s a normal type of universal memory often with a
transistor and a capacitance to store 1 bit. With the development of the technology, more and
more types of ORAM with various specifications exist in computer application, such as SDRAM,
DDR SDRAM and RDRAM
IDE
Driver specifications for integrated circuit devices, It is widely used for connecting HDD /
CD-ROM devices.
IrDA
Infrared Data Association for short. Here it refers to infrared transmit interface, to connect
infrared transmit devices. This sort of device transmits data by infrared light-wave without
connecting any cables .It has been developed into a standard now.
LAN
Network interface.Network grouped by correlative computers in a small area, generally in a
company or a building. Local area network is buildup by sever, workstation, some
communications links. Terminals can access data and devices anywhere through cables, which
enables users to share costly devices and resource.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode. a semiconductor device that shines when power supply is connected,
often used to denote info directly by light, for example, to denote power on or HDD work
normally.
MITX-6910 Mini-ITX Motherboard Based on Intel QM57

LPT
Line print terminal, the denomination reserved by DOS, is an universal parallel interface usually
used to connect printer.
PnP
Plug-and-Play. It is a specification that allows PC to configure its external devices automatically
and can work independently without the manual operation by its user . To achieve this function,
its BIOS should be able to support PnP and a PnP expansion card
POST
Self-test when power on. While the system is booting, BIOS will do an uninterrupted testing to
the system, including RAM, keyboard, hard disk driver etc.to check if all the components are in
normal situation and work well.
PS/2
A keyboard & mouse connective interface specification developed by IBM.PS/2 is a DIN
interface with only 6PIN; it also can connect other devices, like modem
USB
It is Universal Serial Bus for short. A hardware interface adapts to low speed peripherals, and is
always used to connect keyboard, mouse etc. One PC can connect maximum 127 USB
devices, providing 12Mbit/s transmit bandwidth USB supports hot swap and multi- data stream,
namely, you can plug USB devices while system is running, system can auto-detect and makes
it work on.
