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.

CyberResearch, Inc. 55

25 Business Park Drive P: [phone]; F: [phone]
Branford, CT USA www.cyberresearch.com

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.

CyberResearch, Inc. 57

25 Business Park Drive P: [phone]; F: [phone]
Branford, CT USA www.cyberresearch.com

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

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

Step 5: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. Tighten each

nut a few turns at a time and do not over-tighten the screws.

Step 6: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector

on the MXGG. Carefully route the cable and avoid heat generating chips and fan
blades. Step 0:

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.

 Parallel Port IRQ [IRQ7]

The parallel port operates in the enhanced parallel
port mode (EPP). The EPP mode supports
bi-directional communication between the system
and the parallel port device and the transmission
rates between the two are much faster than the
Normal mode.

The parallel port operates in the extended
capabilities port (ECP) mode. The ECP mode
supports bi-directional communication between the
system and the parallel port device and the
transmission rates between the two are much faster
than the Normal mode

The parallel port is also be compatible with EPP
devices described above
