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 first 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 certified computer technician.

1-3 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 direc-
tion. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
1-3-1 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. Align the memory with the DIMM module and insert the DIMM memory module into the DIM slot. Please note that memory module has a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed In only one direction. Step 2. Push down the memory and seat it firmly. Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

Read the following guidelines before connecting external devices:
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) DC_OUT (2x2 12V Power Connector)
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, first 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.

The front panel audio header supports Intel High Definition audio (HD) and AC'97 audio. You may connect your chassis front panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module con­nector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

4/5) SYS_FAN/CPU_FAN (System Fan/CPU Fan Headers)
The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), a 3-pin (SYS_FAN) 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.

19) BAT1 (Battery)
The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information) in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one minute. (Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive and negative terminals of the battery holder, mak­ ing them short for 5 seconds.)
3. Replace the battery.
4. Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.
Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect model.
Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by yourself or uncertain about the bat-
tery model.
When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-) of the battery (the positive
side should face up).
Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.
20/21/22/23/28) COM6/COM3/COM5/COM1/COM4 (Serial Port Header)

32) CLR_CMOS1 (Clearing CMOS Jumper)
Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS configurations) and reset the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.

Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS
values.
After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the jumper cap from
the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.
After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select
Load Optimized Defaults
) or manually
configure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS configurations).
