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.

Mountng Screw Holes

When you nstall the manboard, you have to place the manboard nto the chasss n the

correct drecton. The locatons of screws holes on the manboard are shown as below.

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.

Important

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

CPU (Central Processng Unt)

When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.

If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.

For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vst

Important

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

components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speccatons s not recommended. We do not guar

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.

Pull the lever sdeways away from

the socket. Make sure to rase the

lever up to a 90-degree angle.

1.

Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.

The gold arrow should pont as shown

n the pcture. The CPU can only t n

the correct orentaton.

2.

If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the

pns should be completely embedded

nto the socket and can not be seen.

Please note that any volaton of the

correct nstallaton procedures may

cause permanent damages to your

manboard.

3. Press the CPU down rmly nto the

socket and close the lever. As the

CPU s lkely to move whle the lever

s beng closed, always close the

lever wth your ngers pressng tghtly

on top of the CPU to make sure the

CPU s properly and completely

embedded nto the socket.

top of the retenton mechansm.

Locate the Fx Lever and lft up t .

Fasten down the lever.7. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU

fan connector on the manboard.

Important

Whle dsconnectng the Safety Hook from the xed bolt, t s necessary to keep an

eye on your ngers, because once the Safety Hook s dsconnected from the xed
