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.

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgraded from time to time, the BIOS

description in this manual is just for reference. We do not guarantee

that the content of this manual will remain consistent with the actual

BIOS version at any given time in the future.

Attention:

The pictures of objects used in this manual are just for your reference.

Please refer to the physical motherboard.

Attention:

Take note of the following precautions before you install components or change settings.

1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object, such as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.

2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching any component.

3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed integrated circuits (ICs).

4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

1. Use thumb and forefinger to hold the hook of the load lever and pull the lever

down and away from socket to unlock it. Lift the load lever.

2. Push down the rear tab with your forefinger to bring the front end of the load

plate up slightly. Open the load plate with thumb. Be careful not to touch the

contacts.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

3. Hold CPU with thumb and forefinger. Ensure fingers align to socket cutouts.

Match the CPU triangle marker to Pin 1 position as shown below. The alignment

key also provides the orientation directed function. Lower the CPU straight down

without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket.

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.

Warning:

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 accomodates two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM slots. These slots

support 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR2 technologies for x8 , x16 and x32

devices. Before you install memory modules, please make sure that all DIMMs

in one system are of the same type. To ensure normal operation, you must

install at least one memory bank.

For the lastest memory modules support list, please visit the website:

DIMM1

DIMM2

Installation of DDR2 Memory

1.There is only one gap in the middle 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.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

Warning :

Be sure to unplug the AC power supply before adding or removing

expansion cards or other system peripherals, especially the

memory devices, otherwise your motherboard or the system

memory might be seriously damaged.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions

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.

4-pin ATX_12V Power Connector: PWR2

The ATX power supply connects to PWR2 and

provides power to the CPU.

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

motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable

into the connector and make sure it is secure.
