Page 18 Mounting the System Wall Mounting WARNING! 5 Do not begin to install the system until you have read and understood the instructions and warnings contained in this section. 5 Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the system and all attached hardware and components. 5 Never exceed the Maximum Load Capacity of 220 lb (100 kg). 5 If mounting to wood wall studs, make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the studs. Use of an “edge to edge” stud finder is highly recommended. 5 Always use an assistant or mechanical lifting equipment to safely lift and position the system. 5 When installing wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8” of actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints. Besure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1” (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity. 5 Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor. 5 Concrete anchors are NOT intended for attachment to concrete walls covered with a layer of plaster, drywall, or other finishing materials. If mounting to concrete wall covered with plaster/drywall is unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8” thick) must be counterbored. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8”, custom fasteners must be used. 5 Tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the items, greatly reducing their holding power.

Mounting Monitor Brackets to the System STEP 1 The VM042(H) system uses M6x35 bolts for the monitor brackets. Thread the M6x35 bolt through an M6 lock washer, an M6/M8 washer, the monitor bracket (BB/CC) and finally into the monitor system (left). STEP 2 Repeat the above process for the remaining monitor bracket. NOTE Make sure the monitor brackets are vertically centered and level with each other. Mounting the Wall Plate Wood Stud Mounting STEP 1 Select the location on the wall for wall plate. Make sure there are sufficient spacing as mentioned in the previous section between the monitor and walls when selecting the location. STEP 2 The wall plate (AA) must be mounted to two wood studs at least 16” (406mm) apart. Use a stud sensor to locate two adjacent studs. It is a good idea to verify where the studs are located with an awl or thin nail shown left. STEP 3 Pre-drill a 2-1/2” (64mm) deep hole at the desired height in each stud using a 3/16” drill bit. Make sure these holes are in the center area of the studs and level with each other. Use the wall plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole in each stud. STEP 4 Drill 2-1/2” (64mm) deep holes using the 3/16” drill bit in the marked locations. STEP 5 Attach the wall plate to the wall using 4 pieces of 1/4”x2-1/2” lag bolts and 4 pieces of lag bolt washers. Make sure the wall plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall and that a set of lag bolts is on each side of the two large holes in the center as shown above.

Page 20 Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block Mounting STEP 1 Use the wall plate (AA) as a template to mark six hole locations on the wall. The outer holes must fall to the left and right of the two holes in the middle of the plate; three in the top row of slots and three more in the bottom row. Make sure the holes are level and there is at least 6” (152mm) distance between any two holes. STEP 2 Pre-drill the holes with a 1/2” drill bit to at least 2-1/2” (64mm) in depth. STEP 3 Insert a concrete anchor into each holes that were drilled in the previous step. Make sure the anchor is seated completely flush with the concrete surface. Use a hammer if the anchor does not seat properly. NOTE Concrete anchors are not intended for attachment to concrete walls covered with a layer of plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. If mounting to concrete walls covered with plaster or drywall is unavoidable, plaster/drywall (up to 5/8” thick) must be counterbored as shown below. Hanging the Monitor onto the Wall Plate STEP 1 First hook the monitor brackets over the top of the wall plate as shown left, then let the bottom of the monitor brackets swing in under the bottom of the wall plate. STEP 2 Once the system has been installed properly on the wall plate, the horizontal position of the system can be adjusted. The black knobs on are used to adjust the tilt position of the monitor. Loosen both knobs and adjust the tilt of the monitor until satisfied then tighten both knobs. The monitor can be tilted up or down by 15°. NOTE When loosening the tilt adjustment knobs, the monitor may suddenly tilt downwards and cause injury or damage. Make sure to hold the monitor firmly when adjusting the tilt of the monitor to prevent injury or damage. Wall plateTilt adjustment knob
Page 21 STEP 3 Once the system is in place, insert the safety bar into the slots in the bottom of the monitor brackets so that it sits behind the bottom tab on the wall plate as shown left. The bend at the end of the safety bar should face toward the wall. Once the safety bar passes out the other side of the wall plate, a padlock can be added to the hole at the end of the safety bar for additional security. Using the Monitor Stand (Optional) STEP 1 Using a Philips screwdriver, tighten six screws as shown on the left to install the optional monitor stand. NOTE To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the screen. Place screen face side down. Place monitor stand bracket on back of screen and align to holes. NOTE The vertical position of the monitor may be adjusted by changing the hole positions. Safety barPadlock hole Bend facing the wall

Page 49 PNP/PCI Configurations This section describes configuring the PCI bus system and PnP (Plug & Play) feature. PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users make any changes to the default settings. Primary Graphic’s Adapter This setting specifies which graphics card is your primary graphics adapter. PCI Latency Timer This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI performance, you should set the item to higher values. PCI Slot 1/2 IRQ These items specify the IRQ line for each PCI slot. IRQ Resource Setup Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/14/15 These items specify the bus where the specified IRQ line is used. The settings determines if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the
Page 50 system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the IRQ pool, the end user can use these settings to reserve the IRQ by assigning a [Reserved] setting to it. Onboard I/O is configured by AMIBIOS. All IRQs used by onboard I/O are configured as [Available]. If all IRQs are set to [Reserved], and IRQ 14/15 are allocated to the onboard PCI IDE, IRQ 9 will still be available for PCI and PnP devices. NOTE IRQ (interrupt Request) lines are system resources allocated to I/O devices. When an I/O device needs to gain attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. After receiving the signal, when the operating system ready, the system will interrupt itself and perform the service required by the I/O device. H/W Monitor Chassis Intrusion The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. To clear the warning message, set the field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to [Enabled] later. CPU/SYS Smart Fan Target The mainboard provides the Smart Fan function which can control the CPU/System fan speed automatically depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range. You can select a fan target value here. If the current CPU/System fan temperatures reach the target value, the smart fan function will be activated. It provides several selections to speed up or cool down automatically. PC Health Status CPU/System Temperature, CPU FAN/SYS FAN1 Speed, CPU Vcore, 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 3VSB These items display the current status of all the monitored hardware devices/components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans’ speeds.

Advanced DRAM Configuration Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears: Configuration of DRAM Timing by SPD Setting to [Enabled] enables DRAM CAS# Latency to be automatically determined by BIOS based on the configurations of the SPD (Serial Presence Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module.
Page 52 DRAM CAS# Latency When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The smaller the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance. DRAM RAS# Precharge When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], this field is adjustable. This field is adjustable. This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed for precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. DRAM TRFC When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. This setting determines the time RFC takes to read from and write to a memory cell. DRAM TWR When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between end of write data burst and the start of a precharge command. Allows sense amplifiers to restore data to cells. DRAM TWTR When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Minimum time interval between end of write data burst and the start of a column-read command. It allows I/O gating to overdrive sense amplifiers before read command starts. DRAM TRRD When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Specifies the active-to-active delay of different banks. Time interval between a read and a precharge command. DRAM TRTP When the Configuration DRAM Timing by SPD sets to [Disabled], the field is adjustable. Time interval between a read and a precharge command. FSB/Memory Ratio This item will allow you to adjust the FSB/Ratio of memory. Adjusted DDR Memory Frequency It shows the adjusted DDR memory frequency. Read-only. Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). Memory Voltage (V) This item will allow you to adjust the Memory voltage.
Page 53 PCI Express Voltage This item will allow you to adjust the PCI Express voltage. Spread Spectrum When the mainboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slighter jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. NOTE 1. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. Bit if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction. 2. The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation. 3. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up. Load Fail-Safe/Optimized Defaults The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS settings to the default Fail-Safe or Optimized values. The Optimized Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer specifically for optimal performance of the mainboard. The Fail-Safe Defaults are the default values set by the BIOS vendor for stable system performance. When you select Load Fail-Safe Defaults, a message appears as below: Pressing [Ok] loads the BIOS default values for the most stable, minimal system performance. When you select Load Optimized Defaults, a message as below appears: Pressing [Ok] loads the default factory settings for optimal system performance.
