GA-9ITDW Motherboard

Computer motherboards and ex pansion 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 y our computer.

1. Unplug y our computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded w rist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of y our hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the pow er 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 w ith the
components w henever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX

pow er connector on the motherboard.

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 y ou 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 y ou can still attach the motherboard to the base
without worry ing 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 PC B that are near the
fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

GA-9ITDW Motherboard

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Before installing the processor , adhere to the following warning:

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.
Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.

1. Angling the rod to 65-degree maybe feel a
kin d of t ight , and t hen continue pull the rod to
90-d egree when a noise “cough” made.

2. CPU Top View

3. 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.

4. Press down the CPU socket lev er
and finish CPU installation.

11

Hardware Installation Process

Step 1-2:CPU Heat Sink Installation

Before installing the CPU Heat Sink , adhere to the following warning:

1.Please use Inte l approved cooling fan.

2.We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduction
bet ween your CPU and heatsink.
(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal
past e. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the
proc essor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the
proc essor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape
inst ead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

3.Ma ke sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector, this
completes the ins tallation.
Plea se refer to CPU heat sink user's manual for more detail installation procedure.

1. Heat sink installation kit.

2. Turn the mother bord to the backside. Lock the
retention module on the mother board
Make sure the position of the 4 holes on the
retention module match ex actly the position on
the motherboard.

4. Make sure the CPU fan is plugged to
the CPU fan connector, than install
complete.

3. Fasten the heatsink supporting-base onto the
CPU socket on the mainboard.

13

Hardware Installation Process

Step 2: Install memory modules

Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remov e 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.
The mo therboard has 6 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.

Notch

DDR2 Introduction

DDR2-SDRAM is considered an evolutionary upgrade over existing DDR memory. It maintains the
same co re functions, transferring 64 bits of data twice every clock cycle for an effective transfer rate twice
that of the front-side bus (FSB) of a computer sy stem, and an effective bandwidth equal to its speed x 8.

DDR2 introduces some new features which allow it to ramp up to much higher speeds (w ith
correspondingly higher bandwidth) and higher memory densities, all the while using less power. DDR2
memory uses a new form factor, a 240 pin DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) which is not compatible
with curr ent DDR memory slots. Upcoming chipsets by Intel and other manufacturers will support DDR2
specifically , and are not backwards compatible.

14

English

GA-9ITDW Motherboard

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM

memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into

the DIMM slot. Then push it dow n.
DDR1/3/5 are Channel A, DDR2/4/6 are
Channel B.

Please note that DIMM must be populated
in order starting at the nearest slot from
the ATX power.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM

slots to lock the DIMM module.
Rev erse the installation steps when you wish
to remov e the DIMM module.
