Important
yAlways unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
yPlease retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
yWhen installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
yConfirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
yOverheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
yWhenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.
yIf you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

DIMM Slots
Please install the memory module into the DIMM slot as shown below.

Important
yDue to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
yPlease note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard.
PCI_E1: PCIe Expansion Slot
PCI_E1: PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
Important
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software changes.

14 Overview of Components
CPUFAN, SYSFAN1: Fan Connectors
Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode and Voltage Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. Voltage Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. Therefore, when you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a PWM Mode fan connector, the fan speed will be always maintained at 100%, and that could be noisy.
