is is a Micro ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,
study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
•Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard
components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard
components.
•In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
•Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
•Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or
in the bag that comes with the components.
•When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.1 Installing the CPU
1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into the socket , please check if the PnP cap is on the
socket, if the CPU sur face is unclean, or if the re are any bent pins in the socket . Do not
force to in sert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)
is motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3/DDR3L (Double Data Rate 3)
DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
Dual Channel Memory Conguration
e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It wil l cause permane nt damage to the
motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orie ntation.
1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,
speed , size and chip-type) DDR3/DDR3L DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one memory module
installed.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3/DDR 3L slot;
otherwise, this mothe rboard and DI MM may be damaged..

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)
ere is 1 PCI slot and 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.
PCI slot:
e PCI1 is used to install expansion cards that have 32-bit PCI interface.
PCIe slots:
PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.
Before installing an expansion card, plea se make sure that the power supply is sw itched o
or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the d ocumentation of the expansion card and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

2.5 Jumpers Setup
e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper
is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”
when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(C LR MOS 1)
(see p.6, No. 1)
CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system
parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power
cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to
short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the
CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you
just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it
down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,
date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS batter y is
removed.
Clear CMOSDefault
If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Please adjust the BIOS option “Cl ear
Status” to clear the record of previous ch assis intrus ion statu s.
