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 Installing Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Note:
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.
5
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.
Note1: The LGA1150 CPU is not compatible with LGA 1155 socket. Do not install a LGA 1150 CPU
on the LGA 1155 socket.
Note2: The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent
damaging the CPU.
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.

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.
Step 2: Press down two fasteners at one time in a diagonal sequence to secure
the CPU fan assembly in place. Ensure that all four fasteners are secured.
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 Installing System Memory
Memory 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 chip 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.
