Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

WARNING!

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 ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

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.

Step 1: Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink

Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following cautions:

English

Step1-1: Installing CPU

Step 1 Gently lift the metal lever located on the CPU socket to the upper-right position. Step 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket. Step 3 Align the indented corner of the CPU with the triangle and gently insert the CPU into position.

Step 4 Once the CPU is properly inserted, please replace the plastic covering and push the metal

Step 5 Close the lever, reverse step 1 & 2.

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.

(Grasping the CPU firmly between your thumb and forefinger, carefully place it into the socket in a straight and downwards motion. Avoid twisting or bending motions that might cause damage to the CPU during installation.)

Female Push Pin

Fig.1 Please apply heatsink paste on the surface of the installed CPU.

Fig. 3 Place the heatsink on top the CPU and make sure the push pins align to the pin hole on the motherboard.Push down the push pins diagonally.

Fig. 2 ( to remove the heatsink, turning the push pin along the direction of arrow; and reverse the previous step to install the heat sink.) Please note the direction of arrow sign on the male push pin doesn't face inwards before installation. (This instruction is only for Intel boxed fan)

Fig. 4 Please make sure the Male and Female push pin are brought together. (for detailed installation instructions, please refer to the heatsink installation section of the user manual)

Fig. 5 Please check the back side of teh motherboard. Make sure the push pin is seated firmly as the picture shown. Installation completed.

Fig. 6 Attach the power connector of the heatsink to the CPU fan header located on the motherboard.

Step 2: Install memory modules

English

When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket. GA-8ICMT has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) socets. It supports the Dual Channel Technology. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change the insert orientation. Memory size can vary between sockets.

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:

Installation Step:

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards.

2. Aling a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notches in the socket.

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

4. When installing the DIMM into the DIMM socket, we recommend to populate one DIMM in Channel A module and one in Channel B module for best performance. Please note that each logical DIMM must be made of two identical DIMMs having the same device size on each and the same DIMM size.

5. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
