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 installing or removing the motherboard

components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you 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 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 sock et. 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 before in stalling 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 in stall identical (the same brand,
speed , size and chip-type) DDR3 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memor y Technology with only one or three memor y
module installed.

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

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)

ere are 3 PCI slots and 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o
or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion card and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCI slots:

PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width graphics 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
(C LR MOS 1)
(see p.1, No. 18)

CLRMOS1 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 CLRMOS1 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.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these
heade rs and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause
permanent damage to the motherboard.

System Panel Header
(9-pi n PANEL1)
(see p.1, No. 17)

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connec t to the power switch on the chassi s front panel. You may congure the way to tur n

RESET (Reset Switch):
Connec t to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset sw itch to restart the
computer if the computer f reezes and fails to perform a normal restar t.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):
Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED i s on when the
system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when the system is 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 activity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the
hard drive is reading or wr iting data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power
switch, reset switch , power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connect­ing your chassi s front panel module to thi s header, make sure the wire a ssignments and the
pin assignments are matched correctly.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass mit einer Übertaktung, zu der die Anpassung von BIOS-Einstellungen,
die Anwendung der Untied Overclocking Technology oder die Nutzung von Übertaktung­swerkzeugen von Drittanbietern zählen, bestimmte Risiken verbunden sind. Eine Übertaktung
kann sich auf die Stabilität Ihres Systems auswirken und sogar Komponenten und Geräte Ihres
Systems beschädigen. Sie sollte auf eigene Gefahr und eigene Kosten durchgeführt werden. Wir
übernehmen keine Verantwortung für mögliche Schäden, die durch eine Übertaktung verur­sacht wurden.

1.3 Jumpereinstellung

Die Abbildung zeigt, wie die Jumper eingestellt werden. Wenn die Jumper-Kappe auf
den Kontakten angebracht ist, ist der Jumper „kurzgeschlossen“. Wenn keine Jumper­Kappe auf den Kontakten angebracht ist, ist der Jumper „oen“. Die Abbildung zeigt
einen 3-poligen Jumper, dessen Kontakt 1 und Kontakt 2 „kurzgeschlossen“ sind,
wenn eine Jumper-Kappe auf diesen 2 Kontakten angebracht ist.

CMOS-löschen-Jumper
(CLRMOS1)
(siehe S. 1, Nr. 18)

CLRMOS1 ermöglicht Ihnen die Löschung der Daten im CMOS. Zum Löschen
und Rücksetzen der Systemparameter auf die Standardeinrichtung schalten Sie
den Computer bitte ab und ziehen das Netzkabel aus der Steckdose. Warten Sie 15
Sekunde, schließen Sie dann Kontakt 2 und Kontakt 3 an CLRMOS1 5 Sekunden
lang mit einer Jumper-Kappe kurz. Löschen Sie den CMOS jedoch nicht direkt nach
der BIOS-Aktualisierung. Falls Sie den CMOS direkt nach Abschluss der BIOS­Aktualisierung löschen müssen, starten Sie das System zunächst; fahren Sie es dann
vor der CMOS-Löschung herunter. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Kennwort, Datum, Zeit
und Benutzerstandardprol nur gelöscht werden, wenn die CMOS-Batterie entfernt
wird.
