Hardware Setup	2-1

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-oncards. Failing to do so may cause the motherboard components oradd-oncards to malfunction or damaged.

2-1.Install The Motherboard

Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow a motherboard to be securely attached and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base:

1.use with studs

2.or use with spacers

In principle, the best way to attach the board is to studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into

position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on.

ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holeson the motherboard to align with.

2-2.Install CPU, Heatsink and Fan Assembly

Please pay attention to the following notices before installing the CPU and heatsink/fan assembly.

1.Always use the processor with the Heatsink and Fan Assembly installed.

2.Do not touch the pins on the processor.

3.If you ever need to reinstall the Heatsink and fan Assembly, please clean the heatsink surface and apply new thermal interface material first.

1. Pull out the socket locking lever slightly, then lift it up.

2. Align the corner with triangle mark of the processor with the marking on the motherboard, and then place the processor vertical down into the socket.

3. Lower the locking lever to the fully locked position.

4.Apply thermal interface material.

5. Place the heatsink and fan assembly onto the retention frame. Match the heatsink clip with the socket mounting lug. Hook the spring clip to the mounting lug.
