Installation Precautions

Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :

■ Itissuggestedtoselecthigh-quality,certiedfansinordertoavoiddamagetothe

motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the computer if the

CPU fan is not properly installed.

■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your CPU is over

clocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capacity of your device.

■ Ifthereisany,whenconnectingUSB,audio,1394a,RS232COM,IrDAorS/PDIF

cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure their pinouts are

matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect connections might

damage the motherboard.

■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

■ If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we recommend

 usinga24-pinATXpowersupplytogetthebestperformance.

■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input voltage

 settinghasbeenconguredtothelocalstandard.

■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with

the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no leftover

screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer

casing.

■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use

 oftheproduct,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

!

■ Electrostaticdischarge(ESD)isthesuddenandmomentaryelectriccurrentthatows

between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it comes out as a spark

which will quickly damage your electronic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic

discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU

or memory.

■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing CPU,

memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to unplug the AC

power cord from the power supply outlet. Failure to unplug the power supply cord may

result in serious damage to your system.

2-1 Install the CPU and CPU Cooler

Install the CPU

Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU :

■ MakesurethatthemotherboardsupportstheCPU.

■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepowersupplybefore

installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

■LocatethepinoneoftheCPU.TheCPUcannotbeinsertediforientedincorrectly.

(Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the

CPU socket.)

■ ApplyanevenandthinlayerofthermalgreaseonthesurfaceoftheCPU.

■ DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwiseoverheating

Follow the steps to install the CPU onto the CPU socket :

2.LiftthemetalcoverontheCPU

socket.

3. Remove protective socket cover.

5.WhenCPUisproperlyseated,re-

place the metal cover and push the

CPU socket lever back to its locked

position.

4. Check pin one marking (triangle)

with the pin one corner of the CPU

socket, align the CPU notches with

the socket alignment keys and gently

put the CPU onto the socket.

Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

CAUTION

Install the CPU Cooler

Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard.

1. Apply and spread an even ther-

mal grease on the surface of CPU.

2.PlacethefourboltsoftheCPU

cooler to the holes of the mother-

board, push them straight down from

the top, and the bolts will be fas-

tened on the motherboard. That's it.

3. Check the solder side of the

motherboard, the push pin should

4. Attach the 4-wire CPU cooler con-

nector to the CPU FAN header on

the motherboard .

Release bolts of CPU cooler from

motherboard :

1.Turning the push pin (bolt) along

with the direction of arrow (coun-

terclockwise).

2.Pullthepushpinstraightup.

3. Turning push pin clockwise to its

default position.

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease may

adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.

2-2 Install the Memory

Dual Channel Memory Conguration

This motherboard provides two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology.

When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory in your system.

Two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels:

Channel0:DIMM1,

Channel 1 : DIMM2,

The combinations of DIMM modules are :

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :

■ Makesurethatthemotherboardsupportsthememory.Itisrecommendedthat

memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepoweroutletbefore

installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

■ Memorymoduleshaveafoolproofdesign.Amemorymodulecanbeinstalledinonly

ratedbyanotchinthemiddle,soitcanonlytinonedirection.Followthestepsbelowtocorrectly

install your memory modules into the sockets.

Step 1:

Spread the clips at both ends of the memory socket.

Place the memory module onto the socket, then put

your ngers on top edgeof the module, and push

itdownrmlyandseatitverticallyintothememory

socket.

Step2:

The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into

place when the memory module is securely insert-

ed.

Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the

power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure

to install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard.

2-3 Install an Expansion Card

Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.

1. Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chas-

sis back panel.

2.Alignthecardwiththeslot,andpressdownonthecarduntilitisfullyseatedintheslot.

3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot.

4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

5.Afterinstallingallexpansioncards,replacethechassiscover.

6. Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes for

your expansion card(s).

7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.

Installing and Removing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card :

• Installing a Graphics Card:

Gently insert the graphics card into the PCI Express x16 slot.

Make sure the graphics card is locked by the latch at the end of

the PCI Express x16 slot.

• Removing the Card:

Push the latch at the end of the PCI Express x16 slot to release

the card and then pull the card straight up from the slot.

■ Makesurethemotherboardsupportstheexpansioncard.Carefullyreadthemanual

that came with your expansion card.

■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepoweroutletbefore

installing an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
