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.
â–  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.
â–  When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
â–  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.
â–  Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input voltage
 settinghasbeenconguredtothelocalstandard.
â–  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.
â–  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.
CAUTION
!
■ 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.
â–  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.

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
!
1. Release the CPU socket lever.

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

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 Conî‚¿guration
This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology.
When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory in your system.
Four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels:
Channel0:DIMM1,DIMM2
Channel1:DIMM3,DIMM4
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

Installing a Memory
If you take a look at front side of memory module, it has asymmetric pin counts on both sides sepa-
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
