1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can

become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read

the user's manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard,

make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

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

• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic com-

ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•

Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power sup-

ply has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hard-

ware components are connected.

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

motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface

.

• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to sys-

tem components as well as physical harm to the user.

• 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.

1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

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 outlet 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 and

damage of the CPU may occur.

• SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecications.Itisnotrecommended

thatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthe

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard

specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU,

graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-3-1 Installing the CPU

Hardware Installation

B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU 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.

• To protect the socket contacts, do not remove the protective plastic cover unless the CPU is

inserted into the CPU socket. Save the cover properly and replace it if the CPU is removed.

Step 1:

Push the lever closest to the "unlock" marking " "

(below referred as lever A) down and away from

the socket to release it.

Step 4:

Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers.

Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the

pin one corner of the CPU socket (or align the CPU

notches with the socket alignment keys) and care-

fully insert the CPU into the socket vertically.

Step 5:

Once the CPU is properly inserted, carefully replace

the load plate. Then secure lever B under its reten-

tion tab. The protective plastic cover may pop off

from the load plate during the process of engaging

the lever. Remove the cover. Save the cover properly

and always replace it when the CPU is not installed.

Step 2:

Push the lever closest to the "lock" marking " "

(below referred as lever B) down and away from

the socket. Then lift the lever.

Lever B

Lever A

Step 3:

Gently press lever A to allow the load plate

to rise. Open the load plate. (Note: DO NOT

touch the socket contacts after the load plate is

opened.)

Step 6:

Finally, secure lever A under its retention tab to

complete the installation of the CPU.

1-4-1 FourChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides eight DDR3 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After the

memoryisinstalled,theBIOSwill automatically detect thespecicationsandcapacityof the memory.En-

abling Four Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

The eight DDR3 memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets

as following:

Channel 1: DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_A1

Channel 2: DDR3_P0_B0, DDR3_P0_B1

Channel 3: DDR3_P0_C0, DDR3_P0_C1

Channel 4: DDR3_P0_D0, DDR3_P0_D1

1-4 Installing the Memory

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 one

direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.

1. Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that

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

1-4-3 DIMM Population Table

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.

Installation Step:

Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down.

Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.

Note: For dual-channel and four-channel operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.

Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
