Preparing the Motherboard
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the
edges and do not touch the contacts on the motherboard or CPU. Any
physical damage to the motherbard pins will void the warranty.
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. Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will automatically lift. There is a
protective socket cover within the CPU socket to protect the socket when there
is no CPU installed.
3. Remove the protective socket cover from the CPU Socket in a straight up
motion.
Note: You must save the protective cover so that whenever you
4. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
5. Lower the processor straight down into the socket without tilting or sliding it

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

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
DIMM Slot 2 (XMM2)
DIMM Slot 1 (XMM1)
DIMM Slot 4 (XMM4)
DIMM Slot 3 (XMM3)
Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB,
and 4GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation.
Use the following the recommendations for installing memory.
One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.
Two DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1 and 3.
Four DIMMS: If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.
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.
Installing the Motherboard
Installing the I/O Shield
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the chassis you are using and if you
are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty system case. 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.
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.
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.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard 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.
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand offs located inside the chassis.
2. Align the mounting holes with the stand offs.
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 screws.

ATXPOWER is the main power supply connector located along the edge of the board next to the DIMM
slots. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the connector on the
motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure.
4-pin ATX 12V Power (ATX_CPU)
ATX_CPU the 4-pin or 8-pin ATX 12V power connection, is used to provide power to the CPU.
Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated. If using an 8-pin connector,
4 of the pins will overhang the connector.
Connecting Serial ATA Cables
The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial ATA II device to the motherboard. These
connectors support the thin Serial ATA II cables for primary storage devices. The current Serial ATA II
interface allows up to 300MB/s data transfer rate.
There are six (5) internal serial ATA connectors on this motherboard. These connections are designed to be
angled to not interfere with any expansions cards. These connection points support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID5
and RAID 10 configurations.
6
Front Panel Header (F_PANEL)
The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the following four cables.
PLED
Attach the front panel power LED
cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power LED indicates the system’s
status.
When the system is turned on, the LED is on. When the system is turned off,
the LED is off.
PWRBTN
Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the
power button on the front panel turns the system on and off rather than using
the onboard button.
HDLED
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD
indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.
RESET
Attach the Reset switch cable from the front panel
of the case to these two pins. The system restarts
when the RESET switch is pressed.
Expansion Slots
PCI Express x1 Slots
The PCI Express x1 slot is designed to accommodate PCIe x1 cards, such as an EVGA Killer Xeno Network
Card or Sound Card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.
PCI Express x16/x8/x1 Slots
These PCI Express slots are reserved for Graphic Cards and PCI Express x1 devices. The design of this
motherboard supports multiple Graphic Card technology.
When installing a PCI Express Graphic Card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the card into place.
Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.

2. Alinee el módulo de memoria a la ranura DIMM e inserte el módulo verticalmente en la ranura DIMM.
Los clips plásticos en los ambos lados de la ranura DIMM van a bloquearse automáticamente en el
conector.
La secuencia de la instalación de la placa base en una caja del sistema se depende del chasis que usted esté
utilizando y si va a reemplazar una placa base existente o trabajar con una caja de sistema vacía. Determina si
sería más fácil hacer todas las conexiones antes de este paso o fijar la placa base y entonces hace todas las
conexiones. Es más fácil normalmente de fijar la placa base primeramente.
Utilice el procedimiento siguiente para instalar la capa protectora de I/O y fije la placa base en el chasis.
