EFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with

sufficient lighting.

 Always disconnect the computer from power outlet

before operation.

 Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static

bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.

 Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the

rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

 Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the

case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.

 Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat

source, humid air and water.

 The operating temperatures of the computer should be

0 to 45 degrees Celsius.

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 I

NSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Notice:

1. Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

2. The motherboard might equip with two different types of pin cap. Please refer below instruction to remove the pin cap.

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise

the lever up.

Step 2: Remove the Pin Cap.

B75MU3+

Step 3: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 4: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 5: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the CPU_FAN1 to complete the installation.

Motherboard Manual

2.2 FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan cable and connector may be different according to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to pin#1.
