1.7 Graphics Card Holder

Installing the Graphics Card Holder

Before installing the Graphic s Card Holder , please make sure that your motherboard is
properly installed into a PC ca se.

Type A Ty pe B

X670E Pro RS

Step 1

Secure the Graphics Card Holder to the chassis

with 2 screws.

*ere are two types of screws in the package.

Please use the appropriate ty pe based on the

standos on the motherboard tray of your PC

case.

Step 2

Aer installing your graphics card, place the

bracket in the proper position to make sure that

it holds your graphics card in place.

en secure the bracket to the Graphics Card

Holder with 1 screw.

Chapter 2 Installation

is is an 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 insta lling 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 1718-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 in sert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables be fore installing the CPU.

Make sure the black cover plate

is always in place until it pops o

when closing the socket lever.

Please save the cover if the processor is removed. e cover must be placed if you wish to
return the motherboard for aer service.

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

1

Aer you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger

heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the

CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.

Please turn o the power or remove the powe r cord before changing a CPU or heatsink.
