Safety Instructions

Hardware Installation

16

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic
safety precautions.

Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the
AC main source before removing or installing any equipment from/to the
computer chassis.

EVGA X58 SLI CLASSIFIED Motherboard

Preparing the Motherboard

The motherboard shipped in the box does
need to purchase these to complete this installation.

Installing the CPU

Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make
sure not to bend or break any pins inside the
socket. Hold the processor only by the edges
and do not touch the bottom of the processor.

Use the following procedure to install the
CPU onto the motherboard.

1. Unhook the socket lever by pushing down

and away from the socket.

2. Put your finger on the tail of the load

plate and press the tail down

3. Lift the load plate. There is a protective

socket cover in the socket to protect the
socket when there is no CPU installed.

4. Remove the protective socket cover from

the CPU Socket.

not

contain a CPU or memory. You

Remove the processor from its protective cover,

making sure you hold it only by the edges.
It is a good idea to save the cover so that
whenever you remove the CPU, you
have a safe place to store it.

17

EVGA X58 SLI CLASSIFIED Motherboard

Align notches with notches on the CPU

5. Align the notches in the processor

with the notches on the socket.

6. Lower the processor straight down

into the socket with out tilting or
sliding it into the socket

Make sure the CPU is fully seated and

level in the socket.

7. Close the load plate over the CPU and

press down while you close and
engage the socket lever.

8. The CPU installation is complete.

Installing the CPU Fan

There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard.
Follow the instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan
orientation is correct for your chassis type and your fan assembly.

18

Installing Memory DIMMs

DIMM Slot 1

DIMM Slot 4

DIMM Slot 3

DIMM Slot 6

DIMM Slot 5
CPU side

Board-edge

Your new motherboard has six 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots
support 256 Mb, 512 Mb, 1 Gb, 2Gb, and 4Gb DDR3 technology. There must
be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the
following the recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page
14 for the location of the memory slots.)

 One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.
 Two or Four DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:

DIMM slots 1 and 3. If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:
DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.

 Three DIMMs: If using 3 DIMMs (Triple Channel), install into: DIMM

slots 1, 3 and 5.

 Six DIMMs: If using more than 4 DIMMs, use: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3

then proceed to occupy the following DIMM slots in this order: 6 and 5.

EVGA X58 SLI CLASSIFIED Motherboard

Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs. Note that there is only
one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the
memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.

2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module

vertically into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM
slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.

19

EVGA X58 SLI CLASSIFIED Motherboard

Installing the Motherboard

The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the
chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or
working with an empty chassis. Determine if it would be easier to make all the
connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all
the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.

Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the
motherboard into the chassis.

Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to

lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan
assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.

Installing the I/O Shield

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio
frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign
objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.

20

Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the
chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely. If the
I/O shield does not fit into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper
size from the chassis supplier.

EVGA X58 SLI CLASSIFIED Motherboard

Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis

Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the
mother board to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If
there are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is
recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short
circuit. In most cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a
minimum of nine (9) spacers.

1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the

chassis.

2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.

3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.

4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to

the fan assembly instruction.

5. Secure the motherboard with a minimum of nine screws.

Connecting IDE Hard Disk Drives

The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk drives.

1. Connect the blue connector (the cable end with a single connector) to the

motherboard.

2. Connect the black connector (the cable with the two closely spaced black

and gray connectors) to the Ultra ATA master device.

3. Connect the gray connector to a slave device.

If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second drive as a
slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the hard disk
documentation for the jumper settings.

If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are

attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives
may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
