Figure 3-3 : ATX Heatsink alignment on the Eagle Lake Q45 board 28 Step 2: Press the ATX Heatsink pin toward the hole on the board until “tick” sound can be hear. Remember to hold the board while pressing the pin. Refer to figure 3-4 Figure 3-4 Pressing the ATX Heatsink while holding the board 3. 3 Board Setup and Configuration before Boot Follow the steps below to operate the reference board. Start at step 1 with the power supply not connected to the board. Physically inspect the motherboard for obvious defects. Note that each reference board has been tested prior to distribution; however, a visual check should be performed to ensure no damage has occurred in shipping. Refer to table 2-3 for default position. Install the processor and ensure the 4-pin CPU fan power connector is installed on header shown below: 4-pin CPU Fan power Figure 3-5 CPU Fan location 29 4. Install DDR3 DIMM in Channel A Slot 0 connector. DIMMs should never be inserted or removed unless the power supply is disconnected from the AC power source. Refer to Chapter 2. 5 for system memory configuration. Connect SATA hard drive, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and VGA monitor (video card is optional). Connect an 2x12 Standard power supply and 2x2 also. Refer to figure 3-3 for the location. 2x2 Standard power supply Power-on Button 2x12 Standard power supply Figure 3-6 2x12 Standard power supply and 2x2 power supply 7. Refer to figure 3-6 or 2-1 for power-on button location. 30 3. 4. Post Codes Definitions The CRB BIOS writes progress and error codes to Port 80 during POST. These codes are defined below. 3. 4. 1.
