Before installing the processor, please access Intel® website for more detail information of
Processor Integration Video (LGA1155):
http://www.intel.com/support/tw/processors/sb/CS-030860.htm .
3.1 Installing the Processor
The LGA1155 processor socket comes with a cover to protect the processor. Please install the
processor into the CPU socket step by step as below:
Step1 Opening the socket:
Disengage load lever by releasing down and out on the hook. This will clear retention tab.
Rotate load lever to open position at approximately 135°.
Rotate load plate to open position at approximately 150°.
Note: Apply pressure to corner with right-hand thumb when opening or closing load lever -
otherwise lever will bounce back (as a mouse trap) causing bent contacts.
Step2 Removing the socket protective cover:
Place thumb against the front edge of the protective cover and rest index finger on the rear
grip to maintain control of the cover.
Lift the front edge of the protective cover to disengage from the socket. Keep control of the
cover by holding the rear grip with index finger.
Lift protective cover away from the socket, being careful not to touch the electrical
contacts.

3.2 Installing the Memory
The board supports two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM memory sockets with maximum memory
capacity up to 16GB.
Note: A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 SO-DIMM but is
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket.
Please follow steps below to install the memory modules:
Push down latches on each side of the SO-DIMM socket.
Align the memory module with the socket that notches of memory module must match the
socket keys for a correct installation.
Install the memory module into the socket and push it firmly down until it is fully seated.
The socket latches are levered upwards and clipped on to the edges of the SO-DIMM.
Install any remaining SO-DIMM modules.

Configuring SATA for RAID
Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s) for RAID Function
Before you begin the SATA configuration, please prepare:
Two SATA hard drives (to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that you use
two hard drives with identical model and capacity). If you do not want to create RAID with
the SATA controller, you may prepare only one hard drive.
An empty formatted floppy disk.
Windows XP setup disk.
Please follow up the steps below to configure SATA hard drive(s):
1. Install SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
2. Enter the BIOS Setup to configure SATA controller mode and boot sequence.
3. Configure RAID by the RAID BIOS.
4. Making a SATA driver disk.
5. Install the SATA controller driver during the OS installation.
1. Installing SATA hard drive(s) in your system.
Connect one end of the SATA signal cable to the rear of the SATA hard drive, and the other end
to available SATA port(s) on the board. Then, connect the power connector of power supply to
the hard drive.
2. Configuring SATA controller mode and boot sequence by the BIOS Setup.
You have to make sure whether the SATA controller is configured correctly by system BIOS
