Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures:

•Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

•Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

•Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

•Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

•Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

•Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.

•Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-3-1 Installing the CPU

Step 1:

Push the lever closest to the "unlock" marking " " (below referred as lever A) down and away from

the socket to release it.

Step 3:

Gently press lever A to allow the load plate to rise. Open the load plate. (Note: DO NOT touch the socket contacts after the load plate is opened.)

Step 2:

Push the lever closest to the "lock" marking "" (below referred as lever B) down and away from the socket. Then lift the lever.

Step 4:

Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers. Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one corner of the CPU socket (or align the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys) and carefully insert the CPU into the socket vertically.

1-4 Installing the Memory

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.

•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 eight 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

P0 C0 P0 C1 P0 D0 P0 D1	B1 B0 A1 A0
DDR3 DDR3 DDR3 DDR3	DDR3 P0 DDR3 P0 DDR3 P0 DDR3 P0

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.

1.Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.

2.When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

1-4-2 Installing a Memory

Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module.

Be sure to install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard.

Installation Step:

Step 1.	Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down.
Step 2.	Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
Note:	For dual-channel and four-channel operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.
Step 3.	Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

1/2) ATX1/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.

•Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

•These fan headers are not configuration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.

• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives are configured, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.

• A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.

(Note) When a RAID configuration is built across the SATA 6Gb/s channels, the system performance of

the RAID configuration may vary depends on the devices are connected.
