What are ATX motherboards and what are their typical applications?

ATX motherboards are full-sized boards (305mm x 244mm) designed for industrial, workstation, and server applications, offering maximum expandability, performance, and I/O for demanding environments.

What are the advantages of using ATX over other form factors?

ATX provides the most expansion slots, memory capacity, and I/O options, making it ideal for high-performance computing, automation, and control systems.

What is the typical power input for ATX boards?

ATX boards use standard ATX power supplies, supporting a wide range of industrial and commercial deployments.

What memory types and capacities are supported?

ATX boards support DDR4 or DDR5 DIMM memory, with capacities up to 128GB depending on the model and CPU.

What display resolutions and outputs are available?

Depending on the model, ATX boards support HDMI, DisplayPort, DP++, DVI-D, and VGA, with resolutions up to 8K and support for multiple independent displays.

What expansion options are available?

Expansion options include multiple PCIe slots (Gen3/Gen4/Gen5), M.2 slots for storage and wireless, and SATA ports for additional drives.

How do I install memory modules on an ATX board?

Insert DIMM memory modules into the designated slots and press down until they click into place. Refer to the board manual for supported capacities and configurations.

What precautions should I take during installation?

Always power off and unplug the system before installation. Use ESD protection and handle the board by its edges to avoid static damage.

How do I mount an ATX board in a chassis?

Align the board with the mounting holes in the chassis and secure it using the appropriate screws. Ensure all connectors and expansion slots are accessible.

The board does not power on. What should I check?

Verify the power supply connection, ensure the correct voltage is supplied, and check for any visible damage or loose components. Refer to the board's LED indicators for diagnostic codes if available.

No display output is detected. What should I do?

Check that the display cables are securely connected, the correct input source is selected, and the memory and CPU are properly installed. Try a different display port if available.

How can I reset the BIOS/UEFI settings?

Locate the CMOS battery or reset jumper on the board. Remove the battery or use the jumper as per the manual to reset BIOS/UEFI to default settings.
