Safety information

Electrical safety
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the
electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If
possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add
a device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure
that all power cables are unplugged.
• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord.
These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact
your local power company.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied
service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
• Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all
the manuals that came with the package.
• Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer
immediately.
• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
• Place the product on a stable surface.
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualied
service technician or your retailer.
IMPORTANT: This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the product (electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed in municipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.

Hardware Installation

1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
• Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
• Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage
motherboard components.

3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount socket designed for various processors.
NOTE: Your boxed processor package should come with installation instructions
for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
NOTE: Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the socket cap is on
the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately
if the socket cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the socket cap/socket pins/motherboard components.
NOTE: Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. It is required for product returns or repairs.
NOTE: The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins resulting
from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal
of the socket cap.

Installling the CPU

1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Retention tab
Load lever
3. Move it to the left (B) until it is released from the retention tab.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A).

Installling the CPU heatsink and fan

The processor require a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure
optimum thermal condition and performance. When you buy a boxed processor,
the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
NOTE: Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly
NOTE: If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel®-certied
multi-directional heatsink and fan and make sure that a Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the
motherboard.
NOTE: Make sure each fastener
is oriented as shown, with the
narrow groove directed outward.

4 System memory

Memory types

The motherboard comes with Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
WARNING: Only DDR3 RAM modules can be used on this motherboard.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:
2 1 4 3 6 5
IMPORTANT: Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.

Installing a DIMM

WARNING: Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
NOTE: A DDR3 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. Do
not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
NOTE: The DDR3 DIMM sockets do not support non-DDR3 DIMMs.

Removing a DIMM

DDR3 DIMM notch
Unlocked retaining clip
Follow these steps to remove a DIMM:
1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
DDR3 DIMM notch
TIP: Support the DIMM lightly with your ngers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it ips out with extra force.

Installing an expansion card

IMPORTANT: Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or
removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury
and damage motherboard components.
To install an expansion card:
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it
and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.

Exit
The Exit menu items allow you to load default values for BIOS items, and save or
discard your changes to the BIOS items.
Pressing <Esc> does not immediately exit this menu. Select one of the options from this menu or <F10> from the legend bar to exit.
Save Changes and Exit
Once you are nished making your selections, choose this option from the Exit
menu to ensure the values you selected are saved to the CMOS RAM. An onboard backup battery sustains the CMOS RAM so it stays on even when the PC is turned off. When you select this option, a conrmation window appears. Select Ok to save changes and exit.
NOTE: If you attempt to exit the Setup program without saving your changes, the
program prompts you with a message asking if you want to save your changes before exiting. Press <Enter> to save the changes while exiting.
Discard Changes and Exit
Select this option only if you do not want to save the changes that you made to
the Setup program. If you made changes to elds other than System Date, System Time, and Password, the BIOS asks for a conrmation before exiting.
Discard Changes
This option allows you to discard the selections you made and restore the
previously saved values. After selecting this option, a conrmation appears. Select
Ok to discard any changes and load the previously saved values.
