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

Manual.

The equpment has been dropped and damaged.

user s encouraged to try to correct the nterference by one or more of the measures

lsted below.

Reorent or relocate the recevng antenna.

Increase the separaton between the equpment and recever.

Connect the equpment nto an outlet on a crcut derent from that to whch the

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 the LGA2011 CPU

CPU & Cooler Installaton

When nstallng a CPU, always remember to nstall a CPU cooler. A CPU cooler s

necessary to prevent overheatng and mantan system stablty. Follow the steps below

to ensure correct CPU and CPU cooler nstallaton. Wrong nstallaton can damage both

the CPU and the manboard.

1. Open hnge lever. You can dentfy the hnge lever as below shown, t wth a
