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, please do not over-tighten the
screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Installation of CPU Fan and HeatsinkInstallation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan
and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.
Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center
of IHS on the socket surface.
Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure
fan cables are oriented on side closest to the

(CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 5).
Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard
throughholes.
Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press
down on fastener caps with thumb to install
and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,
the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.
Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration,
you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type)
DDR2 DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install
identical DDR2 DIMM pair in Dual Cha nnel A (DD RII_1 and DDRII_3; Yellow slots;
see p.2 No.6) or identical DDR2 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_2 and
DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.2 No.7), so that Dual Channel Me mory Technology
can be a ctivated. This motherboard also allows you to install f our DD R2 DIMMs f or
dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR2 DIMMs in all four
slots. Y ou may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDR2 DIMMs in all four slots.
1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of
the same color. In other words, install them either in the set of
yellow slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots
(DDRII_2 and DDRII_4).
2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed in the DDR2 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to
activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in
DDRII_1 and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel
Memory Technology .
4. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDR2 slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

Step 1. U nlock 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 bre a 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.
Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-media Interfa ce) is an all-digital audio/video specification,
which provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source,
such as a set-top box, DVD player, A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio or
video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). A complete HDMI system requires a
HDMI VGA card and a HDMI ready motherboard with a HDMI_SPDIF header. This
motherboard is equipped with a HDMI_SPDIF header, which provides SPDIF audio
output to HDMI VGA card, allows the system to connect HDMI Digital TV/projector/
LCD devices. To use HDMI function on this motherboard, please carefully follow the
below steps.
•
Step 1. Install the HDMI VGA card to the PCI Express Graphics slot on this
motherboard. For the proper installation of HDMI VGA card, please refer
to the installation guide on page 16.
Step 2. Connect the black end (A) of HDMI_SPDIF cable to the
HDMI_SPDIF header (HDMI_SPDIF1, yellow, see page 2,
No. 28) on the motherboard.
Make sure to correctly connect the HDMI_SPDIF cable to the motherboard and the
HDMI VGA card according to the same pin definition. For the pin definition of
HDMI_SPDIF header and HDMI_SPDIF cable connectors, please refer to page 27.
For the pin definition of HDMI_SPDIF connectors on HDMI VGA card, please refer to
the user manual of HDMI VGA card vendor. Incorrect connection may cause
permanent damage to this motherboard and the HDMI VGA card.
Step 3. Connect the white end (B or C) of HDMI_SPDIF cable to the HDMI_SPDIF
connector of HDMI VGA card. (There are two white ends (2-pin and 3-pin)
on HDMI_SPDIF cable. Please choose the appropriate white end according
to the HDMI_SPDIF connector of the HDMI VGA card you install.

What is eSATAII?
This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SAT AII specification.
eSATAII allows you to enjoy the SA TAII function provided by the I/O of your computer,
offering the high speed data trans fer rate up to 3.0Gb/s, a nd the convenient mobility
like USB. eSATAII is equipped with Hot Plug capability that enables you to exchange
drives ea sily. For example, with eSAT AII interfa ce, you may si mply plug your eSAT AII
hard disk to the eSA TAII ports instead of opening your chassis to exchange your
SATAII hard disk. Currently , on the market, the data transfer rate of USB 2.0 is up to
480Mb/s, and for IEEE 1394 is up to 400Mb/s. However, eSATAII provides the data
transfer rate up to 3000Mb/s, which is much higher tha n USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394, and
still keeps the convenience of Hot Plug feature. Therefore, on the basis of the
advantageous tra ns fer speed a nd the fa cilitating mobile capability , in the near future,
eSATAII will replace USB 2.0 a nd IEEE 1394 to be a trend f or extern al interfa ce.
