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 com- •
ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,
keep your hands dry and rst 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 certied computer technician.

1-3 Installing the CPU
Installing the CPU
A. Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.
Alignment KeyAlignment Key
LGA1155 CPU Socket
Pin One Corner of the CPU Socket
Notch
Notch
LGA1155 CPU
Triangle Pin One Marking on the CPU
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:
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 dam- •
age of the CPU may occur.
Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specications. It is not recommended •
that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it does not meet the
standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard
specications, please do so according to your hardware specications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-4 Installing the Memory
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.1.
When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of 2.
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.
DualChannelMemoryConguration
This motherboard provides two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the
memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory.
Enabling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as
following:
Channel A: DDR3_1
Channel B: DDR3_2
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.
1-5 Installing an Expansion Card
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:
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 •
an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

When removing the cable connected to a back panel connector, rst 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.
To congure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the
multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

1-7 Internal Connectors
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.

ATX:
1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (2x2 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main 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, rst 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.
