2.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install any components or change any settings.

NOTE: The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. The Single Board Computer layout may vary with models.

IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may require additional purchase. Refer to the Package contents section for more information about the contents of your Single Board Computer package.

WARNING!

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
  • Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, 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, make sure 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 Single Board Computer, peripherals, or components.

ASUS X7213RE-IM-AA - Clear RTC RAM jumper - 1

text_image CLRTC PIN 1

To erase the RTC RAM:

  1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
  2. Short-circuit this jumper with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.
  3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
  4. Hold down the key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and short-circuit this jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button cell battery.

Upgrading your Single Board Computer

IMPORTANT!

  • Make sure that your hands are dry before proceeding with the rest of the installation process. Before installing any of the features in this guide, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or metal object to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
  • Turn off the power of your Single Board Computer, and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before performing any installation/uninstallation process.

NOTE: The illustrations in this section are for reference only. The slots may vary depending on model.

3.1 Installing memory modules

Your Single Board Computer comes with one (1) SO-DIMM memory slot that allows you to install DDR5 SO-DIMMs.

WARNING! Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the Single Board Computer and its components.

Align and insert the memory module into the slot (A) and press it down (B) until it is securely seated in place.

Under normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure optimal performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following circumstances:

  • An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you to run the BIOS setup.
  • You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or update.

WARNING! Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.

NOTE:

  • The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.
  • BIOS settings and options may vary due to different BIOS release versions. Please refer to the latest BIOS version for settings and options.

4.2 BIOS setup program

Use the BIOS Setup program to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The BIOS screens include navigation keys and brief online help to guide you in using the BIOS Setup program.

Entering BIOS Setup at startup

To enter BIOS Setup at startup:

- Press or during the Power-On Self Test (POST). If you do not press or , POST continues with its routines.

Entering BIOS Setup after POST

To enter BIOS Setup after POST:

- Press ++ simultaneously.
