Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory.
■Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing
CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet. Failure to unplug the power supply cord may result in serious damage to your system.

Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer : |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid damage |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CPU is overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capac- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ity of your device. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 1394a, RS232 COM, IrDA or |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
S/PDIF cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
their pinouts are matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
connections might damage the motherboard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connec- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recommend using a 24-pin ATX power supply to get the best performance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
voltage setting has been configured to the local standard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
■ |
To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
computer casing. |

!Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :
■ |
Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory |
|
|
|
|||
|
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. |
2 |
|
■ |
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before |
||
|
|||
|
installing the memory to prevent hardware damage. |
|
|
■ |
Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only |
|
|
|
one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction. |
|
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides Four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory in your system.
Four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels :
Channel 0 : DIMM1 , DIMM2
Channel 1 : DIMM3 , DIMM4
The combinations of DIMM modules are :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DIMM1 |

power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure to install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard.
96-Pin 144-Pin
Notch
If you take a look at front side of memory module, it has asymmetric pin counts on both sides separated by a notch in the middle, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps below to correctly install your memory modules into the sockets.
Step 1:
Spread the clips at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory module onto the socket, then put your fingers on top edge of the module, and push it down firmly and seat it vertically into the memory socket.
Step 2:
The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place 
when the memory module is securely inserted.

The steps to clear CMOS data are :
1.Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
2.Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS data.
3.Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.
4.Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.
5.Go to BIOS Setup to configure new system as described in next chapter.

Use the arrow right/left keys to select a specific function and go to the submenu. Each function is explained below:
Main
It displays the basic system configuration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date, time and so on. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.
F-Center
Some special proprietary features (such as overclocking) can be set up through this menu.
Advanced
The advanced system features can be set up through this menu.
Boot
Boot features can be set up through this menu. You can set the boot device priority and enable
"Quiet Boot" feature here.
Power
All the items related with Green function features can be setup through this menu.
Health
This setup enables you to read/change fan speeds, and displays temperatures and voltages of your CPU/System.
Security
The Administrator/User password can be set up through this menu to prevent unauthorized use of your computer. If you set a password, the system will ask you to key in correct password before boot or access to Setup.
Save&Exit
The optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer better performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause problem if you have more memory or I/O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unstable system. What you need now is to adjust BIOS setting one by one, trial and error, to find out the best setting for your current system. You also can save or discard the changes and exit BIOS setup here.
