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

WARNING!

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 A TX power supply is switched of f 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.

Step 5 Once the CPU is properly placed, please replace the metal cover and push the metal

Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following
cautions:

1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparable damage.

2. Never force the processor into the socket.

3. Apply thermal grease on the processor before placing cooling fan.

4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

5. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it may damage
the CPU. Please change the insert orientation.

Step 1.
Please apply heat sink paste on the surface of
the installed CPU.

Hardware Installation Process

Male Push Pin

The top of Female Push Pin

Female Push Pin

Step. 2
( to remove the heat sink, turning the push pin
along the direction of arrow; and reverse the
previous step to install the heat sink.)
Please note the direction of arrow sign on the
male push pin doesn't face inwards before
installation. (This instruction is only for Intel
boxed fan)

Step. 3
Place the heat sink on top the CPU and make
sure the push pins align to the pin hole on the
motherboard.Push down the push pins
diagonally.

Step. 5
Please check the back side of teh motherboard.
Make sure the push pin is seated firmly as the
picture shown.

Step. 4
Please make sure the Male and Female push
pin are brought together. (for detailed installation
instructions, please refer to the heat sink
installation section of the user manual)

Step 6.
Attach the power connector of the heat sink to
the CPU fan header located on the motherboard.
Heat sink installation is completed.

2-2: Install Memory Modules

English

GA-5EXSH-RH has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sokcets. It supports Dual Channels
T echnology . The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size during system boot. For detail
DIMM installation, please refer to the following instructions.

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.

Channel A

Channel B

64MB x 4 x 4bks 16

Installation Steps:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards.

2. Aling a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notch in the
socket.

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

4. When installing the memory into the DIMM socket, we recommend to populate the memory
as a pair. One in Channel A module and one in Channel B module for best performance.
Please populate DIMM starting from Channel A (Yellow slot).
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 if you want to remove the DIMM module.
