B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU socket.

Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from

the power outlet power plug to prevent any damage to prevent damage to the CPU.

Step 1:
Gently press the CPU socket lever handle down

and away from the socket with your nger. Then

completely lift the CPU socket lever and the metal
load plate will be lifted as well.

Step 3:

Hold the CPU with your thumb and index ngers.

Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the
pin one corner of the CPU socket (or you may
align the CPU notches with the socket alignment
keys) and gently insert the CPU into position.

Step 2:
Remove the CPU socket cover as shown. Hold

your index finger down on the rear grip of the
socket cover and use your thumb to lift up the
front edge (next to the "REMOVE" mark) and
then remove the cover. (DO NOT touch socket
contacts. To protect the CPU socket, always re­place the protective socket cover when the CPU
is not installed.)

Step 4:
Once the CPU is properly inserted, use one
hand to hold the socket lever and use the other
to lightly replace the load plate. When replacing
the load plate, make sure the front end of the
load plate is under the shoulder screw.

Step 5:
Push the CPU socket lever back into its locked
position.

Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal paste on
the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 3:
Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four

push pins through the pin holes on the mother­board. Push down on the push pins diagonally.

Step 2:
Before installing the cooler, note the direction of

the arrow sign on the male push pin. (Turning
the push pin along the direction of the arrow is
for removing the cooler, and the opposite
direction is for installing it..)

Step 4:
You should hear a "click" when pushing down

each push pin. Check that the Male and Female

push pins are joined closely. (Refer to your CPU

cooler installation manual for instructions on
installing the cooler.)

Step 5:
After the installation, check the back of the moth-

erboard. If the push pin is inserted as the picture
above shows, the installation is complete.

Step 6:
Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the
motherboard.

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the
CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage
the CPU.

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.

(

Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.

• 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 DualChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides four DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the
memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specications and capacity of the memory. En­abling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as
following:
Channel A: DIMM1A, DIMM2A
Channel B: DIMM1B, DIMM2B

DIMM1B
DIMM1A
DIMM2B
DIMM2A

)

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

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

2. When enabling Dual 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! DIMM must be populated in order starting from DIMM1A socket.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that

allows the user to modify basic system conguration settings or to activate certain system features. When

the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep

the conguration values in the CMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <F2> key during the POST when the power is turned on. To
see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu of the BIOS
Setup program.

• BIOS ashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems of using the current BIOS
version, it is recommended that you don't ash the BIOS. To ash the BIOS, do it with caution.
Inadequate BIOS ashing may result in system malfunction.

• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/
clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
