EFORE YOU START

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with

sufficient lighting.

 Always disconnect the computer from power outlet

before operation.

 Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static

bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.

 Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the

rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.

 Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the

case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.

 Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat

source, humid air and water.

CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2.1 I

NSTALLING CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)

Special Notice:

Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged.

Pin-Cap

Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket and then raise

the lever up to a 90-degree angle.

G41D3+/G41D3G+

Step 2: Look for the triangular cut edge on socket, and the golden dot on

CPU should point forwards this triangular cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.

Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:

Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked

position to complete the installation.

Step 4: Put the CPU Fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it

on the retention frame. Connect the CPU FAN power cable into the CPU_FAN1. This completes the installation.

Motherboard Manual

2.2 FAN HEADERS

These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan cable and connector may be different due to the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to pin#1.

Note:

CPU_FAN1 supports 4-pin head connector; SYS_FAN1, 3-pin head one. When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red wire is the positive and should be co nnected to pin#2, and the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.

2.3 INSTALLING SYSTEM MEMORY

A. DDR3 module

1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the Slot.

2. Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining chip snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

2.4 CONNECTORS AND SLOTS

FDD1: Floppy Disk Connector (Only for G41D3+ V6.0/6.1)

The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the provided floppy drive ribbon cables.

234

G41D3+/G41D3G+

IDE1: Hard Disk Connector

The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 functionality.

The IDE connector can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect up to two hard disk drives.

Motherboard Manual

PEX16_1: PCI-Express x16 Slot

- PCI-Express 1.0a compliant.

- Maximum theoretical realized bandwidth of 4GB/s simultaneously per

direction, for an aggregate of 8GB/s totally.

- PCI-Express supports a raw bit-rate of 2.5Gb/s on the data pins.

- 2X bandwidth over the traditional PCI architecture.

PCI1/PCI2: Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots

This motherboard is equipped with 2 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI slot is designated as 32 bits.
