Hardware Installation Process

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 will cause improper installation. 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 Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. The CPU only fits in one orientation.

Step 4 Once the CPU is properly placed, please replace the metal cover and push the metal

lever back into locked position.

2.1.2. Installing Heat Sink

Step 1 Attach the heat sink clip to the processor socket. Step 2 Secure the cooing fan withscrews.

English

Step 3 Connect processor fan can cable to the processor fanconnector

Hardware Installation Process

2.2. Installing memory modules

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

1. Please make sure that the memory is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended to use the memory with similar capacity, specifications and brand.

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.

The motherboard supports DDR3 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.

Memory sockets for Processor 1

Memory sockets for Processor 0

Hardware Installation Process

Installation Steps:

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 DIMMA1/D1 socket. 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.

English

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 ATX_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 (350W 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 A TX 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.
