2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: We aring an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the MXGG is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.  Make sure the packing box is facing up wards when opening.  Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MXGG may result in permanent damage to the MXGG and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the MXGG. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the MXGG or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
MXGG Series
Wear an anti-static wristband: We aring a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the MXGG, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the MXGG.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.

Page 56
MXGG Series CyberResearch® Motherboards
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the MXGG
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the MXGG on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the MXGG off:
o When working with the MXGG, make sure that it is disconnected from all
power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the MXGG DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.

4.3 Basic Installation
This section outlines the parts that must be installed for the system to function correctly.
4.3.1 CPU Installation
NOTE:
To enable Hyper-Threading, the CPU and chipset must both support it.
WARNING:
CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the
MXGG Series
CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed.
The LGA775 socket is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Intel LGA775 Socket
To install the CPU, follow the steps below.

MXGG Series CyberResearch® Motherboards
WARNING:
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Step 1: Remove the protective cover. The black protective cover can be removed by
pulling up on the tab labeled "Remove". See
Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2: Remove Protective Cover
Step 2: Open the socket. Disengage the load lever by pressing the lever down and
slightly outward to clear the retention tab. Fully open the lever, then open the load plate. See
Figure 4-3.

Step 3: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the
Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU
Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the
Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU.
Step 7: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are

Carefully match the two orientation notches on the CPU with the socket alignment keys.
properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly. See
Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4: Insert the Socket LGA775 CPU
Step 8: Close the CPU socket. Close the load plate and engage the load lever by
pushing it back to its original position. There will be some resist ance, but will not require extreme pressure.
Step 9: Connect the 12 V power to the board. Connect the 12 V power from the power
supply to the board. Step 0:

4.3.2 Cooling Kit Installation
WARNING:
DO NOT use the original Intel® heat sink and fan. A proprietary one is recommended.
Figure 4-5: Cooling Kits
The cooling kit can be purchased from CyberResearch, Inc.; cooling kits include a heatsink and fan.
WARNING:
Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat dissipation.
To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA775 CPU. Make sure the CPU
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit is installed.
Step 2: Properly align the cooling kit. Make sure the four spring screw fasteners can
pass through the pre-drilled holes on the PCB.

bracket to the screw threads on heat sink that were inserted through the PCB holes. (See
Figure 4-6)
Figure 4-6: Securing the Heat sink to the MXGG

4.4 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.
