2.2 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install components into the system.

• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.

The motherboard comes with an onboard standby power LED. This LED lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode or in soft-off mode, and not powered OFF. Unplug the power cable from the power outlet and make sure that the standby power LED is OFF before installing any system component.

To remove the front panel:

1. Locate the groove under the front panel.

2. Position your four fingers under the groove, with your thumb supporting the lower portion of the front panel.

3. Slightly pull towards you until the lower portion disengages from the chassis.

Do not use excessive force to avoid breaking the front panel.

4 Slightly pull the side and top portions to completely release the front

panel from the chassis.

5. Set the front panel aside.

2.4 Removing the cover

To remove the cover:

1. On the rear panel, locate the thumbscrew that secures the cover to the chassis.

2. Turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise unti it gets loose.

The thumbscrew cannot be removed from the chassis.

3. Firmy grip the top handle and push the cover about 1 cm forward.

4. Lift the cover to expose the internal components of your system.

The cover does not completely disengage from the chassis.

When fully open, the cover remains tilted at an angle of about 35º. Do not push down further to prevent damage to the system.

2.5 Removing the power supply unit

You must remove the power supply unit (PSU) before you can install a central processing unit (CPU) and other system components.

To remove the PSU:

1. Disconnect the power plugs on the motherboard.

2. Locate the lever that secures the PSU.

3. Push down the lever to release the PSU.

4. Slide the PSU out of the metal tray.

When removing the PSU, make sure to hold or support it firmly. The unit might accidentally drop and damage the other system components.

5. Set the PSU aside.

6. Lift up the metal tray and set it aside.

• Install only DIMM_A and DIMM_B.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.

• This motherboard only supports x4, x8, x16 chips per module DDR DIMMs.

• Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB (Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB synchronization table on the next page.
