Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While performing the instal­lation, be careful in holding the components and follow­ing the installation procedures. For some components, if
you install in the wrong orientation, the components will
not work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the compo­nents.

Screw Holes

When you install the mainboard, you have to place the mainboard into the chassis in the
correct direction. The locations of screws holes on the mainboard are shown as below.

The side has to

the position for
the I/O shield of
the chassis.

Chapter 2

Screw holes

Refer above picture to install stando󰘯s in the appropriate locations on chassis and then
screw through the mainboard screw holes into the stando󰘯s.

Important

To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuit and

•

chassis or unnecessary stando󰘯s mounted on the chassis is prohibited.

Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the mainboard or within

•

the chassis that may cause short circuit of the mainboard.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.

For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com/index.
php?func=cpuform2

Important

Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet 󰘰rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any
attempt to operate beyond product speci󰘰cations is not recommended. We do not guar­antee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product speci­󰘰cations.

CPU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will
cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before

1.

you install CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin. Romove the cap.

Open the load level.

2.

Lift the load lever up to fully open position.

3.

After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for correct mating, put down the CPU in the

4.

socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the
alignment keys are matched.

Please refer to the following illustrations for memory population rules.
Dual-Channel mode Population Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two

data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel
mode.

Important

DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard

•

is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in
the DDR3 DIMM slots.

In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type

•

and density in di󰘯erent channel DIMM slots.

To ensure a successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the

•

DIMM1 󰘰rst.

Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up

•

to 31+GB (not full 32GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 8GB memory module.

24-pin power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper
orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply 󰘰rmly into the
connector.

You may use the 20-pin ATX power supply as you like. If you’d like to use the 20-pin
ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with pin 1 & pin 13.

ATX 8-pin Power Connector: PWR2

This connector is used to provide the power output to the CPU.

Important

Make sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX power supplies to en­sure stable operation of the mainboard.

Fan Power Connectors: CPU_FAN,SYSFAN1~2

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the
wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be con­nected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the
mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially
designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
