1.7 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from the chassis before manual handling this device. 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 not in the chassis.

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

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if 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 the motherboard by setting jumpers. The information also includes the motherboards' default settings and the options for each jumper.

1.8.1 How to Set Jumpers

Users can configure the motherboard according to the specific application requirements 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, connect the pins with the clip. To "open" (or turn off) a jumper, remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

1.9 System Memory

AIMB-229 is equipped with two sockets for 260-pin SODIMM. These sockets are compatible with 1.2V unbuffered double-data-rate synchronous, low-voltage DRAM (DDR4 SDRAM). DRAM is available in 4, 8, 16, and 32 GB capacities. The socket supports any combination of DIMMs of any size, for a total memory size of 4 to 32 GB. AIMB-229 supports ECC (error checking and correction) memory.

1.10 Memory Installation

To install SODIMMs, first ensure that the 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 gently press the SODIMM module into the socket until there is an audible click indicating that the two handles have locked the memory module into place. To remove the memory module, push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected.

BIOS Operation

3.1 Introduction

With the AMI BIOS Setup program, users can modify the BIOS settings and control the device configuration. The Setup program features a number of menus for making changes and turning special features on or off. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-229 BIOS menus.

3.2 BIOS Setup

The AIMB-229 system has AMI BIOS built in and features a CMOS SETUP utility that allows users to configure required settings or activate certain 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.
