Safety Information Electrical safety To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.

1. MX110HD Motherboard Features This chapter briefly describes the Specifications of MX110HD board. Table 1 summarizes the major features of the Board. 1. 1 Specifications Summary Form Factor Low-profile Mini-ITX (20 millimeters [0.79 inches] x 170.18 millimeters [6.7 inches] x 170.18 millimeters [6.7 inches])
2. Block Diagram 3. Processor The board supports 6 generation Intel Core processors. Other processors may be supported in the future. This board supports processors with a maximum wattage of 65 W Thermal Design Power (TDP). NOTE This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor.

Your boxed Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 LGA1151 processor package should come with installation instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter. Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent.
3.1 Installing the CPU 1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard. Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left. 2. Remove the PnP cap. 3. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.
Page 11
4. Position the CPU over the socket, making sure that the gold triangle is on the top-left corner of the socket then fit the socket alignment key into the CPU notch. Gold triangle CPU notch Alignment key 5. Pull back the load lever, then push the load lever (A) until it snaps into the retention tab.
3. 2 Installing the CPU Heatsink and Fan Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 LGA1151 processor requires a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. When you buy a boxed Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 LGA1151 processor, the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.

3.3 Uninstalling the CPU Heatsink and Fan To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan: 1. Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard. 2. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise 3. Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard. A B B A 14 ...

4. Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard. 5. Rotate each fastener clockwise to ensure correct orientation when reinstalling. 15 ...
System Memory The Desktop Board has t w o 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets with gold-plated contacts. NOTE To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
4.2 Installing a DDR4 SODIMM 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 motherboard and the components. 1. Locate the SODIMM socket on the board. 2. Hold two edges of the SODIMM module carefully, and keep away of touching its connectors. 3. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. 4. Firmly press the modules into the socket which will automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the SODIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction. 5. Press down until SODIMM module Mounting Notch clicks in. A DDR4 SODIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a SODIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. The DDR4 SODIMM sockets do not support DDR3 SODIMMs. DO NOT install DDR3 SODIMMs to the DDR4 SODIMM socket. 17 ...
4.3 Removing a DDR4 SODIMM 1. Press the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module. Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the ejector tabs. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. 18 ...
