GA-8EGXR Motherboard
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
power connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they dont line up with the holes on the base and there are
no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting
holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful
of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short
circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard
PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, dont let the screw contact
any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the
board or cause board malfunctioning.

M Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processors specifications.
We dont recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPUs specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards .etc.

Step 1-1: CPU Installation
Pin1 indicator
CPU Top View
CPU Bottom View
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever
and up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU
upper corner. Then insert the CPU
into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket
lever and finish CPU installation.
Pin1 indicator
M Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
M If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause
improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.
10

Step 1-2: CPU Heat Sink Installation
M You should apply the thermal paste to provide better heat
conduction between your CPU and heatsink.
M Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,
this completes the installation.
M Please refer to CPU heat sink users manual for more detail installation
procedure.
1. Hook one end of the cooler
bracket to the CPU socket first.
2. Hook the other end of the
cooler bracket to the CPU
socket.

Hardware Installation Process
Step 2: Install memory modules
The motherboard has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically
detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot.
The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between
sockets.
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the
DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots
to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to
remove the DIMM module.
M Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one
notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change
the insert orientation.

Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion cards instruction document before install the expansion card into
the computer.
2. Remove your computers chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6. Replace your computers chassis cover.
7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8. Install related driver from the operating system.
