Installing the Motherboard
Safety Precautions
Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard
Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid dam­age from static electricity
Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded object before working on the motherboard
Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in
Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend circuit boards
Choosing a Computer Case
There are many types of computer cases on the market. The motherboard complies with the specifications for the ATX system case. Firstly, some features on the motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indica­tors and switches on the system case. Make sure that your case supports all the features required. Secondly, this motherboard supports two enhanced IDE drives. Make sure that your case has sufficient power and space for all drives that you intend to install.
Most cases have a choice of I/O templates in the rear panel. Make sure that the I/O template in the case matches the I/O ports installed on the rear edge of the motherboard.
This motherboard carries an ATX form factor of 350 X 220 mm. Choose a case that accommodates this form factor.
7
Installing the Motherboard in a Case
Refer to the following illustration and instructions for installing the motherboard in a case.
Most system cases have mounting brackets installed in the case, which correspond the holes in the motherboard. Place the motherboard over the mounting brackets and secure the motherboard onto the mounting brackets with screws.
Ensure that your case has an I/O template that supports the I/O ports and expansion slots on your motherboard.
Installing the Motherboard

Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.
Checking Jumper Settings
This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard.
Setting Jumpers
Use the motherboard jumpers to set system configuration options. Jumpers with more than one pin are numbered. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins.
The illustrations show a 2-pin jumper. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is OPEN.
This illustration shows a 3-pin jumper. Pins 1 and 2 are SHORT.

Installing Hardware
Installing the Processor
Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surface-mount resis­tors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components.
On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed.
Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges on the fan casing and the clips. Also, install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket.
Before installing the Processor
This motherboard automatically determines the CPU clock frequency and system bus frequency for the processor. You may be able to change these settings by making changes to jumpers on the motherboard, or changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We strongly recommend that you do not over-clock processors or other components to run faster than their rated speed.
Warning:
1. Over-clocking components can adversely affect the reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system. Over-clocking can perma­nently damage the motherboard by generating excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.
2. Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hard­ware components.
This motherboard has a Socket AM3 processor socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory.
Fail-Safe Procedures for Over-clocking
When end-users encounter failure after attempting over-clocking, please take the following steps to recover from it.
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Press and hold the “Page Up Key (PgUp)” of the keyboard, and then boot the PC up.
3. Two seconds after the PC boots up, release the “Page Up Key (PgUp)”.
4. The BIOS returns to the default setting by itself.
Installing the Motherboard
CPU Installation Procedure
The following illustration shows CPU installation components.
1 Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from
the socket and lift up to 90-degree angle.
2 Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with
the pin hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU correctly.
3 Press the lever down and apply thermal
grease on top of the CPU.
4 Put the CPU Fan down on the retention mod-
ule and snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into place.
5 Flip the levers over to lock the heat sink in
place and connect the CPU cooling Fan power cable to the CPUFAN connector. This com­pletes the installation.
To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 4800 rpm at least. CPU fan and heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/heatsink sup­plied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
11
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 240-pin DDR3 1600 (OC)/1333/1066/800. The total memory capacity is 32 GB*.
* Due to the DRAM maximum size is 4GB at present, the memory maxi­mum size we have tested is 16GB

Memory module Memory Bus
DDR3 800 400 MHz
DDR3 1066 533 MHz DDR3 1333 667 MHz
DDR3 1600 800 MHz
You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each module can be installed with 8 GB of memory.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Installing the Motherboard

Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM only. 2 Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. 3 Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.
4 Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot.
5 Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM.
6 Install any remaining DIMM modules.

Installing the Motherboard
Expansion Slots
Installing Add-on Cards
The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can in­crease the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
15
PCIE1~2 Slots
PCIEX16 Slot
PCI1~3 Slots
The PCI Express x1 slots are fully compliant to the PCI Express Generation 2.0 (version 2.0).
The PCI Express x16 slot is used to install an external PCI Express graphics card that is fully compliant to the PCI Express Generation 2.0 (version 2.0).
This motherboard is equipped with three standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is a bus stan­dard for expansion cards, which for the most part, is a supple­ment of the older ISA bus standard. The PCI slots on this board are PCI v2.3 compliant.
Before installing an add-on card, check the documentation for the card carefully. If the card is not Plug and Play, you may have to manually configure the card before installation.
Installing the Motherboard
16
Follow these instructions to install an add-on card:
1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the
slot you are going to use.
2 Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot.
Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot.
3 Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-on card.

Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM/SAT A Hard Drive
This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive and a CD­ROM drive.
About IDE Devices
Your motherboard has one IDE interface. An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the motherboard.
You must orient the cable connector so that the pin1 (color) edge of the cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.
IDE: IDE Connector
This motherboard supports five high data transfer SATA ports with each runs up to
3.0 Gb/s. To get better system performance, we recommend users connect the CD­ROM to the IDE channel, and set up the hard drives on the SATA ports.
IDE devices enclose jumpers or switches used to set the IDE device as MASTER or SLAVE. Refer to the IDE device user’s manual. Installing two IDE devices on one cable, ensure that one device is set to MASTER and the other device is set to SLAVE. The documentation of your IDE device explains how to do this.
About SAT A Connectors
Your motherboard features five SATA connectors supporting a total of five drives. SATA refers to Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard inter­face for the IDE hard drives which are currently used in most PCs. These connectors are well designed and will only fit in one orientation. Locate the SATA connectors on the motherboard and follow the illustration below to install the SATA hard drives.
Installing Serial A T A Hard Drives
To install the Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, use the SATA cable that supports the Serial ATA protocol. This SATA cable comes with an SATA power cable. You can connect either end of the SATA cable to the SATA hard drive or the connector on the motherboard.
