Directions for Bundled Software

Attention:

1.Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2.It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures.

3.Never turn on the machine if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4.Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Attention:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity

of your device.

Socket Cutouts

4. After installing the CPU, remove the protective cover from load plate. The

protective cover is used to protect the contacts of the socket. Do not discard the

protective cover. Always replace the socket cover if the CPU is removed from the

socket.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

5. Close the load plate, and slightly push down the tongue side.

6. Lower the lever and lock it to the load plate, then the CPU is locked completely.

Note :

Excessive temperatures will severely damage the CPU and

system. Therefore, you should install CPU cooling fan and make

sure that the cooling fan works normally at all times in order to

prevent overheating and damaging to the CPU. Please refer to your

CPU fan user guide to install it properly.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Memory

This motherboard includes four 240-pin slots with 1.8V for DDR2. So You must

install at least one memory bank to ensure normal operation.

Installation of DDR2 Memory

1.There is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot, and the memory

module can be fixed in one direction only. 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.

128 Pins

3.The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot will lock automatically.

Power Supply

This motherboard uses an ATX power supply. In order to avoid damaging any

devices, make sure that they have been installed properly prior to connecting

the power supply.

24-pin ATX power connector: PWR1

PWR1 is the ATX power supply connector. Make

sure that the power supply cable and pins are

properly aligned with the connector on the

Attach the connector to the power LED on the front panel of the case. The Power

LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is in S0 status, the LED is

on. When the system is in S1 status, the LED is blink; When the system is in S3,

S4, S5 status, the LED is off.

Power Switch Connector (PWRSW)

Attach the connector to the power button of the case. Pushing this switch allows

the system to be turned on and off rather than using the power supply button.
