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, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.
•• 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 components 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 supply 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 hardware 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 system 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.

Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler |
|
|
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU/CPU cooler: |
|
|
•• |
Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. |
|
|
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.) |
|
•• |
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the |
|
|
CPU to prevent hardware damage. |
|
•• |
Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may |
|
|
locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.) |
|
•• |
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU. |
|
•• |
Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage |
|
|
of the CPU may occur. |
|
•• |
Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended |
|
|
that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the |
|
|
standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard |
|
|
specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics |
|
|
card, memory, hard drive, etc. |
|
•• |
For installing the CPU cooler, please refer to chassis user's manual. |
1-4 Installing the Memory/Expansion Card
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory expansion card:
•• 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.)
•• Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card.
•• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory/expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
•• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a digital display interface which is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data.
HDMI Port
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides an all-digital audio/
video interface to transmit the uncompressed audio/video signals and is HDCP compliant. Connect the HDMI audio/video device to this port. The HDMI Technology can support a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 but the actual resolutions supported depend on the monitor being used.
•• When After installing the HDMI device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the HDMI
device.(Theitemnamemaydifferbyoperatingsystem.Referthefiguresbelowfordetails.),andenter
BIOS Setup, then set Onboard VGA output connect to D-SUB/HDMI under Advanced BIOS Features.
•• Please note the HDMI audio output only supports AC3, DTS and 2-channel-LPCM formats. (AC3 and DTS require the use of an external decoder for decoding.)
USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 Port
The USB port supports the USB 3.0 specification. Use this port for USB devices such as a USB keyboard/ mouse, USB printer, USB flash drive and etc.
Line Out Jack (Green)
The default Line Out (Front Speaker Out) jack. Stereo speakers, earphone or front surroundspeakers can
be connected to Line Out (Front Speaker Out) jack.
Mic In Jack (Pink)
The default MIC In jack. Microphone cab be connected to MIC In jack.
•• When removing the cable connected to a back panel connector, first remove the cable from your device and then remove it from the motherboard.
•• When removing the cable, pull it straight out from the connector. Do not rock it side to side to prevent an electrical short inside the cable connector.
