interference by one or more of the measures listed below.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit di󰘯erent from that to which the

receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Notice 1
The changes or modi󰘰cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-

pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice 2
Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply

with the emission limits.

To protect the global environment and as an environmentalist, MSI must re­mind you that...

Under the European Union (“EU”) Directive on Waste Electrical and Elec­tronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC, which takes e󰘯ect on August 13,
2005, products of “electrical and electronic equipment” cannot be discarded
as municipal waste anymore and manufacturers of covered electronic equip­ment will be obligated to take back such products at the end of their useful life. MSI will
comply with the product take back requirements at the end of life of MSI-branded prod­ucts that are sold into the EU. You can return these products to local collection points.

DEUTSCH

Hinweis von MSI zur Erhaltung und Schutz unserer Umwelt
Gemäß der Richtlinie 2002/96/EG über Elektro- und Elektronik-Altgeräte dürfen Elek-

tro- und Elektronik-Altgeräte nicht mehr als kommunale Abfälle entsorgt werden. MSI
hat europaweit verschiedene Sammel- und Recyclingunternehmen beauftragt, die in
die Europäische Union in Verkehr gebrachten Produkte, am Ende seines Lebenszyklus
zurückzunehmen. Bitte entsorgen Sie dieses Produkt zum gegebenen Zeitpunkt aus­schliesslich an einer lokalen Altgerätesammelstelle in Ihrer Nähe.

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.

Open the load level.

1.

Lift the load lever up to fully open
position

2.

The CPU socket has a plastic cap on
it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you install CPU, always cover
it to protect the socket pin. Romove
the cap (as the arrow shows).

3. After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for
correct mating, put down the CPU in
the socket housing frame. Be sure to
grasp on the edge of the CPU base.
Note that the alignment keys are
matched.

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated
well into the socket. If not, take out
the CPU with pure vertical motion
and reinstall.

5. Engage the load lever while pressing
down lightly onto the load plate.

6.

Secure the lever near the hook end
under the retention tab.

7. Make sure the four hooks are in por­per position before you install the
cooler.

8.

Important

Con󰘰rm if your CPU cooler is 󰘰rmly installed before turning on your system.
Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.

Important

Read the CPU status in BIOS.
Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic

cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.
Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/ cooler in-

stallation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model
you purchase.

Please refer to the documentation in the CPU fan package for more details about the
CPU fan installation.

Align the holes on the mainboard with
the heatsink. Push down the cooler
until its four clips get wedged into the
holes of the mainboard.

9. Press the four hooks down to fasten
the cooler.

10.

Turn over the mainboard to con󰘰rm
that the clip-ends are correctly in­serted.

11. Finally, attach the CPU Fan cable to
the CPU fan connector on the main­board.

Memory Population Rule

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 enable successful system boot-up (Lynn󰘰eld CPU especially), always insert the
memory modules into the DIMM1 󰘰rst.

Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up
to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module.

Installing Memory Modules

The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only 󰘰t in the right
orientation.

Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden 󰘰nger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic
clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module
is properly seated.

Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot
clips at the sides.

You can barely see the golden 󰘰nger if the memory module is properly inserted in the
DIMM slot.

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
