Safety Instructons

Always read the safety nstructons carefully.

Keep ths User’s Manual for future reference.

Keep ths equpment away from humdty.

Lay ths equpment on a relable at surface before settng t up.

The openngs on the enclosure are for ar convecton hence protects the equpment

from overheatng. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.

Make sure the voltage of the power source s at 110/220V before connectng the

equpment to the power nlet.

Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on t. Do not place

anythng over the power cord.

Always Unplug the Power Cord before nsertng any add-on card or module.

All cautons and warnngs on the equpment should be noted.

Never pour any lqud nto the openng that can cause damage or cause electrcal

shock.

If any of the followng stuatons arses, get the equpment checked by servce

personnel:

The power cord or plug s damaged.

Lqud has penetrated nto the equpment.

The equpment has been exposed to mosture.

The equpment does not work well or you can not get t work accordng to User’s

Overheatng

Overheatng can serously damage the CPU and manboard. Always make sure the

coolng fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Be sure to apply an

even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to

enhance heat dsspaton.

Replacng the CPU

When replacng the CPU, always turn o the system’s power supply and unplug the

power supply’s power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.

Overclockng

Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. Before attemptng to overclock,

please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclockng. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speccatons s not recommend. MSI does not

guarantee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton beyond product

speccatons.

Introducton to AM3/ AM3+ CPU

CPU & Cooler Installaton

When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top

to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU

before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.

Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wll

cause the damage of your CPU & manboard.

Pull the lever sdeways away from

the socket. Make sure to rase the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

1.

Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.

The gold arrow should pont as shown

n the pcture. The CPU can only t n

the correct orentaton.

2.

If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the

pns should be completely embedded

nto the socket and can not be seen.

Please note that any volaton of the

correct nstallaton procedures may

cause permanent damages to your

manboard.

3. Press the CPU down rmly nto the

socket and close the lever. As the

CPU s lkely to move whle the lever

s beng closed, always close the

lever wth your ngers pressng tghtly

on top of the CPU to make sure the

CPU s properly and completely

embedded nto the socket.

Important

Whle dsconnectng the Safety Hook from the xed bolt, t s necessary to keep an

Mountng Screw Holes

When nstallng the manboard, rst nstall the necessary mountng stands requred for

a manboard on the mountng plate n your computer case. If there s an I/O back plate

that came wth the computer case, please replace t wth the I/O backplate that came

wth the manboard package. The I/O backplate should snap easly nto the computer

case wthout the need for any screws. Algn the mountng plate’s mountng stands wth

the screw holes on the manboard and secure the manboard wth the screws provded

wth your computer case. The locatons of the screw holes on the manboard are shown

below. For more nformaton, please refer to the manual that came wth the computer

case.

Important

Install the manboard on a at surface free from unnecessary debrs.

To prevent damage to the manboard, any contact between the manboard crcutry

and the computer case, except for the mountng stands, s prohbted.

Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the manboard or wthn

the computer case that may cause a short crcut of the manboard.

The I/O ports should be facng toward

Dual-Channel mode Populaton Rule

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmt and receve data wth two

data bus channels smultaneously. Enablng Dual-Channel mode can enhance system

performance. The followng llustratons explan the populaton rules for Dual-Channel

mode.

Important

DDR3 memory modules are not nterchangeable wth DDR2, and the DDR3 standard

s not backward compatble. Always nstall DDR3 memory modules n DDR3 DIMM

slots.

To ensure system stablty, memory modules must be of the same type and densty.

Due to chpset resource usage, the system wll only detect up to 31+ GB of memory

(not full 32 GB) when all DIMM slots have 8GB memory modules nstalled.
