*For GA-8LD533 only
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.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications.
We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,
Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards….etc.

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
English
Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 2- Install memory modules

4. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look
for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU
upper corner. Then insert the CPU
into the socket.
Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
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.
- 9 - Hardware Installation Process
Step 1-2 : CPU Heat Sink Installation
English
1. Hook one end of the cooler
bracket to the CPU socket first.
Please use Intel approved cooling fan.
We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat
2. Hook the other end of the
cooler bracket to the CPU
socket.
conduction between your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the
thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you
might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and
might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to
either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with
extreme caution.)
Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,
this completes the installation.
Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation
procedure.

Step 2: Install memory modules
The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. 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. Memory size can vary between
sockets.

English
1. The DIMM socket has a notch, so the
DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the
DIMM socket. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots
to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to
remove the DIMM module.
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to
the one notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation.
Please change the insert orientation.

DDR Introduction
high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs and
system integrators.
English
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck by
doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from
existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge of
the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM clock
frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs to build
high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations, highend PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only 2.5 Volts compared to
conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for small form factor desktops
and notebook applications.
Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before install the expansion card into
2. Remove your computer’s chassis cover, screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6. Replace your computer’s chassis cover.
7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8. Install related driver from the operating system
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
the computer.
