Chapter 2

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 Micro ATX system case. 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. 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 a Micro ATX form factor of 244 X 210 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

8

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 surface­mount 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 Unhook the locking lever of the CPU socket. Pull the

locking lever away from the socket and raising it to
the upright position.

2 Match the pin1 corner marked as the beveled edge

on the CPU with the pin1 corner on the socket.
Insert the CPU into the socket. Do not use force.

3 Push the locking lever down and hook it under the

latch on the edge of socket.
4 Apply thermal grease to the top of the CPU.
5 Install the cooling fan/heatsink unit onto the CPU,

and secure them all onto the socket base.
6 Plug the CPU fan power cable into the CPU fan

connector (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.

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.

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.

PCIEX16 Slot

PCIE1~2 Slots

PCI Slot

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.

The PCI Express x1 slot is fully compliant to the PCI Express
Generation 2.0.

This motherboard is equipped with two 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 v2.2 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

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.
