WEEE Statement

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)

ENGLISH

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 effect on August 13, 2005, products of “electrical and electronic equipment” cannot be discarded as municipal wastes 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 Elektround Elektronik-Altgeräte dürfen Elektround Elektronik-Altgeräte nicht mehr als kommunale Abfälle entsorgt werden. MSI hat europaweit verschiedene Sammelund 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 & Heatsink Installation

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct CPU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both the CPU and the motherboard.

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to learn how to install CPU & heatsink. at the address below.

http://youtu.be/bf5La099urI

1.Push the load lever down to unclip it and lift to the fully open position.

2.The load plate will automatically lift up as the load lever is pushed to the fully open position.

Important

Do not touch the socket contacts or the bottom of the CPU.

3.Align the notches with the socket alignment keys. Lower the CPU straight down, without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket. Inspect the CPU to check if it is properly seated in the socket.

4.Close and slide the load plate under the retention knob. Close and engage the load lever.

English

5.When you press down the load lever the PnP cap will automatically pop up from the CPU socket. Do not discard the PnP cap. Always replace the PnP cap if the CPU is removed from the socket.

6.Evenly spread a thin layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) on the top of the CPU. This will help in heat dissipation and prevent CPU overheating.

Thermal paste

7.Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

8.Place the heatsink on the motherboard with the fan’s cable facing towards the fan connector and the fasteners matching the holes on the motherboard.

9.Push down the heatsink until the four fasteners get wedged into the holes on the motherboard. Press the four fasteners down to fasten the heatsink. As each fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

10.Inspect the motherboard to ensure that the fastener-ends have been properly locked in place.

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

Important

•Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.

•Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.

•If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

Important

•DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in DDR3 DIMM slots.

•To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density in Dual-Channel mode.

Important

•Many SATA devices also need a power cable from the power supply. Such devices include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and optical drives (CD / DVD / Blu-Ray). Please refer to the device’s manual for further information.

•Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs, and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.

•Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise.

•SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space saving purposes.

JCI1: Chassis Intrusion Connector

This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the computer case is opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record this intrusion and a warning message will flash on screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.

CPUFAN,SYSFAN1~2: Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +12V. If the motherboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into any available system fan connector.

•Please refer to your processor’s official website or consult your vendor to find recommended CPU heatsink.

•These connectors support Smart Fan Control with liner mode. The Command Center utility can be installed to automatically control the fan speeds according to the CPU’s and system’s temperature.

•If there are not enough ports on the motherboard to connect all system fans, adapters are available to connect a fan directly to a power supply.

•Before first boot up, ensure that there are no cables impeding any fan blades.

JTPM1:TPM Module Connector

This connector connects to a TPM (Trusted Platform Module). Please refer to the TPM security platform manual for more details and usages.

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Jumper

There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the motherboard to save system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system configuration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.

1	1
Keep Data	Clear Data

Important

You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is off. Afterwards, open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will damage the motherboard.

JUSB_PW1, JUSB_PW2: USB Power Jumper

These jumpers are used to assign which USB and PS/2 ports could support “Wake Up Event Setup” field of BIOS.

JUSB_PW1

(for back panel USB 2.0 ports & PS/2 ports)

JUSB_PW2

(for onboard USB 2.0/ 3.0 connectors)

BIOS Setup

The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You may need to run the Setup program when:

■An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP.

■You want to change the default settings for customized features.

Important

•Please load the default settings to restore the optimal system performance and stability if the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings. Select the "Restore Defaults" and press <Enter> in BIOS to load the default settings.

•If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due to inappropriate BIOS configuration.

Entering BIOS Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start the Power On Self Test (POST) process. When the message below appears on the screen, please <DEL> key to enter BIOS:

Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter Boot Menu

If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS, restart the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

MSI additionally provides two methods to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the “GO2BIOS” tab on “MSI Fast Boot” utility screen or press the physical “GO2BIOS" button (optional) on the motherboard to enable the system going to BIOS setup directly at next boot.

Click "GO2BIOS" tab on "MSI Fast

Boot" utility screen.

Important

Please be sure to install the “MSI Fast Boot” utility before using it to enter the BIOS setup.
