Hardware Installation Proc ess
Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following warning:
English
The installation of the processor and cooling fan is performed in four main steps:
Step1-1. F irs t, c hec k th e pro ces sor p ins to se e that non e ar e b ent. Mov e the so cke t lev er to the
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparable damage.
3. 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.
4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.
5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent
damage will result.
6. 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,
Memory, Cards… etc.

matches up to a triangle on the so cket as shown in Figure 2. Align the proc essor to the socket
and g ently lower it in to pla ce. D o not force the p rocess or into the so cket.

Step1-2. When the pro cessor is in stalled in the socket, apply thermal grease to the processor (as shown
in Figu re 3) pri or to installing the h eatsink. Phase ch ange m aterials dev elop strong a dhesive

** We r ecom me nd you to a pply the therm al tape to provid e better he at co nduction between
your C PU and h eatsink. (Th e CP U cooli ng fan m ight stick to the CPU due to the ha rdening of
the thermal p aste. During this c ondition if you try to remove the cooling fan, y ou mi ght pull the
processo r out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and migh t damage the pr ocessor.
To av oid this from happen ing, we sugge st you to either use therma l tape ins tead o f therm al
paste, orre mov e the cooli ng fan with extrem e ca ution.)

Step 2: Install Memory Modules
English
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.
Before installing the memory modules, adhere to the following warning:
1. When RAM_LED is ON, do not install / remove DIMM from socket.
2. Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to
the one notch. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation.
Please change the insert orientation.
Notch
1. The DIM M s oc ket ha s a notc h, so the DIMM
me mor y mo dule can o nly fit in one d irection.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into
the DIM M soc ket. The n pus h i t down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIM M
sockets to lo ck the DIMM m odule.
Reve rse the installation steps when yo u wish to
rem ove the DIMM modu le.

Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion card's instruction document before install the expansion card into the
computer.
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.
AGP Card
English
Please carefully pull out the small white-drawable bar at the end of the AGP slot when you try to install
/ uninstall the AGP card. Please align the AGP card to the onboard AGP slot and press firmly down on
the slot. Make sure your AGP card is locked by the small white-drawable bar.
