•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

•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.

1-4-1 Four Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Four Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

The eight DDR3 memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

Channel 1: DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_A1

Channel 2: DDR3_P0_B0, DDR3_P0_B1

Channel 3: DDR3_P0_C0, DDR3_P0_C1

Channel 4: DDR3_P0_D0, DDR3_P0_D1

When only one DIMM is used, it must be populated in memory slot0 first.

Memory populated sequence must be followed with slot0/slot1. System will not boot normally with incorrect populated sequence.

DDR3_P0_A0

DDR3_P0_A1

DDR3_P0_B0

DDR3_P0_B1

DDR3_P0_D1

DDR3_P0_D0

DDR3_P0_C1

1/2) P1/P1_CPU (2x12 Main Power Connector and 2x4 12V Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation. The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

3/4/5/6/7) CPU_FAN1/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_FAN3/SYS_FAN4 (CPU Fan/System Fan Headers)

The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN1), four 4-pin (SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_

FAN3) system fan headers. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.
