Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-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 component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard 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 components.

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

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis, plea se do not over-tighten the screws!

Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Step 1. Unlock the socket by lifting the lever up to a 90° angle. Step 2. Position the CPU directly above the socket such that its marked corner

matches the base of the socket lever.

Step 3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place.

The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to avoid bending of the pins.

Step 4. When the CPU is in place, press it firmly on the socket while you push

down the socket lever to secure the CPU. The lever clicks on the side tab to indicate that it is locked.

Step 5. Install CPU fan and heatsink. For proper installation, please kindly refer to

the instruction manuals of your CPU fan and heatsink vendors.

K8Upgrade-VM800 motherboard provides two 184-pin DDR (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots.

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the brea k

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

What is Hot Plug Function?

If the SATA HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called “Hot Plug” for the action to insert and remove the SATA HDDs while the system is still power-on and in working condition. However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been installed into the SATA HDD.

WARNING!

Although this motherboard supports Hot Plug function for SATA devices, there are still some limitation. Please ensure to read the instruction in the Support CD before you use Hot Plug function. Failure to do so may lose the data in the SATA HDDs or damage the SATA HDDs. For the detailed instruction, please refer to the document in the Support CD at the following path: ..\ SATA RAID BIOS
