Introduction

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.

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.

Item Checklist

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.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Process

2-1: Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink

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.

2-1-1: Installing CPU

Step 1 Raise the metal locking lever on the socket.
Step 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket.
Step 3 Lift the metal cover.
Step 4 Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The CPU only fits in one orientation.

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

lever back into locked position.

2-2: Install Memory Modules

The motherboard supports DDRII memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory
capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one
direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.

Channel 1

Channel 2

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is
recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer
power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed
in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

12

Hardware Installation Process

Installation Steps:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards.Aling a DIMM on the socket such
that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notch in the socket.

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

NOTE!! We recommened you to populate the same device size on each socket and the
same DIMM size.

4. Reverse the installation steps if you want to remove the DIMM module.

Connector Introduction

1/2) ATX2/1 (24-pin/8-pin ATX 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, please make sure that
all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its proper
location on the motherboard and connect tightly.
The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the A TX_12V
power connector is not connected, the system will not start.
Caution! Please use a power supply that is able to support the system voltage
requirements. It is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power
consumption be used (300W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide
the required power, the result can lead to an unstable system or a system that is unable
to start. If you use a power supply that provides a 24-pin ATX power connector, please
remove the small cover on the power connector on the motherboard before plugging in
the power cord; otherwise, please do not remove it.

3 ) IDE1 (IDE Connector)

An IDE device connects to the computer via an IDE connector. One IDE connector can connect
to one IDE cable, and the single IDE cable can then connect to two IDE devices (hard drive or
optical drive). If you want to connect two IDE devices, please set the jumper on one IDE device
as Master and the other as Slave (for information, please refer to the instructions located on the IDE
device).
Before attaching the IDE cable, please take note of the foolproof groove in IDE connector.
