Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Micro ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,

study the conguration 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 in sert the 1150-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on
the socket, if the CPU surface i s unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socke t.
Do not force to inser t the CPU into the socket if above situation i s found. Otherwise,
the CPU will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is 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 install identical (the same

brand, speed, size and chip-typ e) DDR3 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Du al Channel Memory Technology with only one or three
memor y module in stalled.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and DI MM may be damaged.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

1. Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power s upply is
switched o or the po wer cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the
expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware settings for the card before you start

the installation.

2. Due to the mech anical limitation , to install/uninstall the graphic s card on PCIE1
slot, please nd a thin tool, such as a pen to press the retaining clip to lock/unlock
the PCIe slot.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

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

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.6, No. 21)

CLRCMOS1 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. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear

the CMOS right aer 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 prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed.

Clear CMOSDefault

H97M Anniversary

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Please adjust the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. D o NOT place jumper caps over
these headers and connec tors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors
will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.

System Panel Header

(9-pin PANEL1)

(see p.6, No. 11)

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connec t to the power switch on the cha ssis front panel. You may congure the way to
turn o your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Sw itch):

Connec t to the reset switch on the cha ssis front panel. Press the reset switch to re start
the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perfor m a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):

Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis f ront panel. e LED is on when
the system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when th e system i s in S1/S3 sleep state.
e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):

Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the cha ssis front panel . e LED is on when
the hard dr ive is reading or w riting data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis. A f ront panel module mainly con sists
of power switch, reset switch, powe r LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc .
When connecting your chassis front panel module to thi s header, make sure the wire
assig nments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.
