Hardware Installation

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 com-

ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keep your hands dry and rst 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 sup-

ply 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 hard-

ware 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 sys-

tem 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 certied computer technician.

Hardware Installation

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. (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)

• 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 dam-

age of the CPU may occur.

• Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it does not meet the

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specications, please do so according to your hardware specications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-3-1 Installing the 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 ts in one orientation.

Step 5. Please replace the metal cover and push the metallever back into locked position.

Hardware Installation

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. Step 1. Attach the heat sink clip to the processor socket. Step 2. Secure the cooing fan with screws.. Step 3. Connect processor fan can cable to the processor fan connector.

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.

Hardware Installation

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 ThreeChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides six DDR3 memory sockets for per CPU and supports Three Channel Technol-

ogy. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specications and capacity of the

memory. Enabling Three Channel memory mode will be triple of the original memory bandwidth. The six DDR3 memory sockets are divided into three channels each channel has two memory sockets as following: Channel 1: DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_A1 (For pimary CPU) DDR3_P1_D0, DDR3_P1_D1 (For secondary CPU) Channel 2: DDR3_P0_B0, DDR3_P0_B1(For pimary CPU) DDR3_P1_E0, DDR3_P1_E1 (For secondary CPU) Channel 3: DDR3_P0_C0, DDR3_P0_C1(For pimary CPU) DDR3_P1_F0, DDR3_P1_F1 (For secondary CPU)

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

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

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

Hardware Installation

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 operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

• First make sure your devices are compliant with the connectors you wish to connect.

• Before installing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer. Unplug the

power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.

• After installing the device and before turning on the computer, make sure the device cable has been securely attached to the connector on the motherboard.

1/2/3) ATX1/P12V_AUX2/P12V_AUX1

(2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the com-

ponents on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, rst 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.

(CPU Fan/System Fan Headers)

The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN1/2), a 4-pin (FAN4) 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 conguration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.
