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.
The equpment has obvous sgn of breakage.

FCC-B Rado Frequency Interference Statement
Ths equpment has been tested and
found to comply wth the lmts for a Class
B dgtal devce, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These lmts are desgned
to provde reasonable protecton aganst
harmful nterference n a resdental nstallaton. Ths equpment generates, uses and
can radate rado frequency energy and, f not nstalled and used n accordance wth
the nstructons, may cause harmful nterference to rado communcatons. However,
there s no guarantee that nterference wll not occur n a partcular nstallaton. If ths
equpment does cause harmful nterference to rado or televson recepton, whch can
be determned by turnng the equpment o and on, the 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
recever s connected.
Consult the dealer or an experenced rado/televson techncan for help.
Notce 1
The changes or modcatons not expressly approved by the party responsble for
complance could vod the user’s authorty to operate the equpment.
Notce 2
Shelded nterface cables and A.C. power cord, f any, must be used n order to comply
wth the emsson lmts.

Ths devce comples wth Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operaton s subject to the followng
two condtons:
ths devce may not cause harmful nterference, and
ths devce must accept any nterference receved, ncludng nterference that may

Assembly Precautons
The components ncluded n ths package are prone to damage from electrostatc
dscharge (ESD). Please adhere to the followng nstructons to ensure successful
computer assembly.
Always turn o the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet
before nstallng or removng any computer component.
Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connectons may cause
the computer to not recognze a component or fal to start.
Hold the manboard by the edges to avod touchng senstve components.
It s recommended to wear an electrostatc dscharge (ESD) wrst strap when handlng
the manboard to prevent electrostatc damage. If an ESD wrst strap s not avalable,
dscharge yourself of statc electrcty by touchng another metal object before han-
dlng the manboard.
Store the manboard n an electrostatc sheldng contaner or on an antstatc pad
whenever the manboard s not nstalled.
Before turnng on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal com-
ponents on the manboard or anywhere wthn the computer case.
Do not use the computer n a hgh-temperature envronment.
Do not boot the computer before nstallaton s completed. Ths could cause perma-
nent damage to the components as well as njury to the user.
If you need help durng any nstallaton step, please consult a certed computer tech-
ncan.
Important
A screwdrver (not ncluded) may be requred for computer assembly.

mouse/keyboard DIN connector s for a PS/2
®
mouse/keyboard.
USB 2.0 Port
The USB 2.0 port s for attachng USB 2.0 devces such as keyboard, mouse, or other
USB 2.0-compatble devces.
USB 3.0 Port
USB 3.0 port s backward-compatble wth USB 2.0 devces. It supports data transfer
rate up to 5 Gbt/s (SuperSpeed).
Important
In order to use USB 3.0 devces, you must connect to a USB 3.0 port. If a USB cable s
used, t must be USB 3.0 complant.
DVI-D Port
The DVI-D (Dgtal Vsual Interface- Dgtal) connector can be connected to a LCD
montor, or a CRT montor wth an adapter. To connect a montor, please refer to the
montor’s manual for more nformaton.

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.
