WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and
there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to
the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to
cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base
without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate
the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be
careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the
fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMMinto the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place.

4. When installing the DIMM into the DIMM socket, we recommend to populate one DIMM in
Channel A module and one in Channel B module for best performance.
Please note that each logical DIMM must be made of two identical DIMMs having the same
device size on each and the same DIMM size.

5. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to
configure
required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the
CMOS SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test)
will take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl
+ F1".
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk
in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new
BIOS, either
Gigabyte's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating
system.
