Chapter 2: Installation

This is an ATX form factor (12.0" x 9.6", 30.5 x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before you

install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the

chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static

electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet

or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a

safety grounded object before you handle the components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the mother-

board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing

so may damage the motherboard.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do

so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or

components.

2.3 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1150-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the

PnP cap is on the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any

bent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if

above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM

slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to inst all identical

(the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR3 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to acti vate Dual Channel Memory Tech nology with

only one or three memory module installed.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memor y module into a

DDR3 slot; other wise, this mother board and DIMM may be dam-

aged.

The DIMM only ts in one cor rect orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into

the slot at incorrect orientation.
