CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Before 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.

 To avoid injury, be careful of:

Sharp pins on headers and connectors Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 Install Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 1: Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard

Note1: 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. Note2: The motherboard might equip with two different types of pin cap. Please refer below instruction to remove the pin cap.

Step 2: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise the lever

up.

B85MG

Step 3: Remove the Pin Cap.

Motherboard Manual

Step 4: Hold processor with your thumb and index fingers, oriented as shown.

Align the notches with the socket. Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding the processor in the socket.

Note1: The LGA1155 CPU is not compatible with LGA 1150 socket. Do not install a LGA 1155 CPU on the LGA 1150 socket. Note2: The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU.

Step 5: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked position to

complete the installation.

2.2 Install a Heatsink

Step 1: Place the CPU fan assembly on top of the installed CPU and make sure

that the four fasteners match the motherboard holes. Orient the assembly and make the fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector. Ensure the fastener slots are pointing perpendicular to the heatsink.

Step 2: Press down two fasteners at one time in a diagonal sequence to secure

the CPU fan assembly in place. As each fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

B85MG

Note1: Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector. Note2: For proper installation, please kindly refer to the installation manual of your CPU heatsink.

2.4 Install System Memory

DDR3 Modules

Step 1: Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM

on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot.

Step 2: Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining clips

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

Note: If the DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.

2.6 Jumper Setting

The illustration shows how to set up jumpers. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “close”, if not, that means the jumper is “open”.

Pin opened Pin closed Pin1-2 closed

JCMOS1: Clear CMOS Jumper

Placing the jumper on pin2-3, it allows user to restore the BIOS safe setting and the CMOS data. Please carefully follow the procedures to avoid damaging the motherboard.

Pin 1-2 Close:

Normal Operation (default).

Pin 2-3 Close:

Clear CMOS data.

※ Clear CMOS Procedures:

1. Remove AC power line.

2. Set the jumper to “Pin 2-3 close”.

3. Wait for five seconds.

4. Set the jumper to “Pin 1-2 close”.

5. Power on the AC.

6. Load Optimal Defaults and save settings in CMOS.
