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.

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 then raise the
lever and load plate to the fully open position.
Step 2: Remove the Pin Cap.

Motherboard Manual
Step 3: 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.
Step 4: Close the load plate. Pressing down on the load plate, close and
engage the socket lever.
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.
