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 any

-

th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.

Refer above pcture to nstall standos n the approprate locatons on chasss and then

screw through the manboard screw holes nto the standos.

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

chasss or unnecessary standos mounted on the chasss s prohbted.

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

Overheatng

Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you 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

Whle replacng the CPU, always turn o the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclockng

Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your

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.

Open the load lever. 1. Lft the load lever up to fully open

poston.

2.

After conrmng the CPU drecton for

correct matng, put down the CPU n

the socket housng frame. Be sure to

grasp on the edge of the CPU base.

Note that the algnment keys are

to conrm that the clp-ends are

correctly nserted.

7. Fnally, attach the CPU Fan cable

to the CPU fan connector on the

Conrm f your CPU cooler s rmly nstalled before turnng on your system.

Do not touch the CPU socket pns to avod damagng.

Whenever CPU s not nstalled, always protect your CPU socket pn wth the plastc

The DB15-pn female connector s provded for montor.

DVI-D Port

The DVI-D (Dgtal Vsual Interface-Dgtal) connector allows you to connect a LCD

montor. It provdes a hgh-speed dgtal nterconnecton between the computer and

ts dsplay devce. To connect an LCD montor, smply plug your montor cable nto the

DVI-D connector, and make sure that the other end of the cable s properly connected

to your montor (refer to your montor manual for more nformaton).

Important

The HDMI, VGA and DVI-D ports on the manboard are desgned to serve as IGP

(Integrated Graphcs Processor) used. If you nstalled a processor wthout ntegrated

graphcs chp, these dsplay ports wll have no eect.
