1.7 Safety Precautions

Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution!

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to electrostatic discharges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

Caution!

The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Caution!

There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

1.8 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard's default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

1.8.2 CMOS Clear (JCMOS1)

The AIMB-277 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

Table 1.2: JCMOS1

Function Jumper Settings
Keep CMOS data (Default)		1-2 closed
Clear CMOS data		2-3 closed

AIMB-277 has two sockets for a 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM. These sockets use a 1.2 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAM (DDR SDRAM). DRAM is available in capacities of 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. The sockets can take any combination with SODIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and up to max 64GB. AIMB-277 does NOT support error checking and correction (ECC).

1.10 Memory Installation Procedures

To install SODIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the SODIMM socket are in the “open” position, i.e., the handles lean outward. Slowly slide the SODIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then firmly but gently (avoid pushing down too hard) press the SODIMM module well down into the socket, until you hear a click when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism.

1.11 Cache Memory

The AIMB-277 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full speed last level caches:

20MB for Inter Core i9-10900E/i9-10900TE

16MB for Inter Core i7-10700E/i7-10700TE

12MB for Inter Core i5-10500E/i7-10500TE

6MB for Inter Core i3-10100E/i7-10100TE

6MB for Inter Core i3-10100E/i7-10100TE

4MB Pentium G6400E/G6400TE

2MB Celeron G5900E/G5900TE

The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories.

1.12 Processor Installation

The AIMB-277 is designed to supported Intel 10th Gen LGA1200, Core i9/Core i7/Core i5/Core i3, Pentium, Celeron processor.

BIOS Operation

3.1 Introduction

With the AMI BIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for making changes and turning special features on or off. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-277 setup screens.

3.2 BIOS Setup

The AIMB-277 Series system has AMI BIOS built in, with a CMOS SETUP utility that allows users to configure required settings or to activate certain system features. The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS RAM of the motherboard. When the power is turned off, the battery on the board supplies the necessary power to preserve the CMOS RAM.

When the power is turned on, press the button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) to access the CMOS SETUP screen.

General Purpose Input/Output is a flexible parallel interface that allows a variety of custom connections. It allows users to monitor the level of signal input or set the output status to switch on/off the device. Our API also provide Programmable GPIO, which allows developers to dynamically set the GPIO input or output status.

SMBus

Blue square icon with a white abstract symbol resembling a battery or connector (no text or numbers)

SMBus is the System Management Bus defined by Intel Corporation in 1995. It is used in personal computers and servers for low-speed system management communications. The SMBus API allows a developer to interface a embedded system environment and transfer serial messages using the SMBus protocols, allowing multiple simultaneous device control.

4.2.1.2 Display

Brightness Control

Blue square icon with a white sunburst symbol (no text or numbers)

The Brightness Control API allows a developer to access embedded devices and easily control brightness.

4.2.1.3 Monitor

Watchdog

White dog head silhouette on blue background (no text or symbols)

A watchdog timer (WDT) is a device that performs a specific operation after a certain period of time if something goes wrong and the system does not recover on its own. A watchdog timer can be programmed to perform a warm boot (restarting the system) after a certain number of seconds.

Hardware Monitor

Blue square icon with white thermometer and propeller symbol (no text)

The Hardware Monitor (HWM) API is a system health supervision API that inspects certain condition indexes, such as fan speed, temperature and voltage.
