Hardware Installation
This section will guide you through the installation of the motherboard. The topics covered in this section are:
Preparing the motherboard Installing the CPU Installing the Cooling Device Installing the memory Installing the motherboard Connecting cables
Safety Instructions
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.
Page 12

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 bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard:
Unhook the left socket lever by pushing down
and away from the socket.
Unhook the right socket lever by pushing down
and away from the socket.
Gently press the left socket lever and the load
plate will lift from the socket.
Open the load plate and make sure not to damage
any of the pins inside of the socket.
Note: After removing the CPU socket cover, it is recommended to store it in
case you ever need to transport your motherboard. If you ever remove the CPU, it is highly recommended to reinstall the socket cover.
Page 13
13
Align the notches on the CPU to the notches in
the socket.
Lower the processor straight down into the
socket.
Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level
in the socket.
Lower the load plate so it is resting on the CPU.
Press the right socket lever down to lock into
place.
Carefully lock the lever back into place.
Installing the Cooling Device
There are many different cooling devices that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the instructions that came with your cooling assembly.
Page 14
14
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one memory slot populated to ensure normal operation.
The Intel X79 chipset supports quad channel memory; you can choose any slots to insert the DIMMs.
Use the following procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward. 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.
Page 15
15
Installing the Motherboard
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.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system
case 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. This will depend on the system case being used.
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.
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.
Page 16
16
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.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand offs located inside the
chassis.
Align the mounting holes with the stand offs.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to
the fan assembly instruction.
Secure the motherboard with a recommended minimum of nine (9) screws.
Connecting Cables
This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the motherboard. This will include:

8-pin ATX 12V Power (
PW12-1 & PW12-2)
PW12-1 & PW12-2 (optional), the 8-pin ATX 12V power connections, are
used to provide power to the CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated. If your motherboard has two 8-pin connectors, the secondary is optional for improved overclocking.
BIOS Select Switch (Optional)
The BIOS Select Switch is featured on select motherboards and located directly on the bottom edge of the motherboard. This jumper controls which of physical BIOS chips are to be used when the system is powered on.

Connecting Internal Headers
Front Panel Header
The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the following four cables.
PWRLED
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 powered on, the LED will be on.
Note: Some system cases may not have all four cables. Be sure to match the
name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.
PWRSW
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.
HD_LED
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.

Firewire 1394a (1394b Optional)
The IEEE 1394a expansion cable bracket is provided in the box but if you do not require the additional external connections, you do not need to install it. Select motherboards have a Firewire 1394b header. 1394a or 1394b devices can be used on it.
Secure the bracket to either the front or rear panel of the system case
(not all system cases are equipped with the front panel option).
Connect the end of the cable(s) to the IEEE 1394a/b header(s) on the
motherboard.

This motherboard contains USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports that are exposed on the rear panel of the chassis. The motherboard also contains 10-pin internal header connectors onboard that can be used to connect an optional external bracket containing up to four (4) USB 2.0 ports. It may also have an internal header connector for USB
3.0.
Secure the bracket to either the front or rear panel
of your chassis (not all chassis are equipped with the front panel option).

PCI-E x1 Slots
There are PCI-E x1 slots that are designed to accommodate less bandwidth­intensive cards, such as a sound or network card.
PCI-E x16/x8 Slots
These PCI-E slots are reserved for Graphics Cards and PCI-E x1, x4, x8 and x16 devices. The design of this motherboard supports multiple Graphics Card technologies such as SLI or CrossFireX.
When installing a PCI-E Graphics Card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
Page 24

Onboard Buttons
These onboard buttons include RESET, POWER and Clear CMOS. These functions allow you to easily reset the system, turn on/off the system, or clear the CMOS.
Clear CMOS Button
The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all the set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by pressing the Clear CMOS button either onboard or on the external I/O Panel.
RESET and POWER Button
These onboard buttons allow you to easily turn on/off the system. These buttons allow for easy debugging and testing of the system during troubleshooting situations.
The POWER button with an integrated LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is powered on, the LED remains a solid red.
The RESET button with an integrated LED indicates the activity status of the hard disk drives and will flicker accordingly.
