Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow 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.

Hardware Setup
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://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?
func=cpuform
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.
Replaceing the CPU
While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug the
power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first 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 specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused
by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.

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.
1.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on
it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you install the CPU, always
cover it to protect the socket pin.
3.The pins of socket reveal.
2.Remove the cap from lever hinge
side (as the arrow shows).
4.Open the load lever.
Important
1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
2. Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
3. The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.

Hardware Setup
5.Lift the load lever up and open the
load plate.
7.Visually inspect if the CPU is
seated well into the socket. If not,
take out the CPU with pure vertical
motion and reinstall.
6.After confirming 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.

8.Cover the load plate onto the
package.

9.Press down the load lever lightly
onto the load plate, and then secure the lever with the hook under
retention tab.
11.Press the four hooks down to fas-
ten the cooler. Then rotate the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it) to lock the
hooks.

10. 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.
12.Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are correctly inserted.
Important
1. Read the CPU status in BIOS (Chapter 3).
2. Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the
plastic cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.
3. Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/
cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.

Memory
These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.
Since DDR3 modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard is not
backward compatible, you should always install DDR3 memory module in DDR3 slot
(DIMM_DDR3_1~2), and DDR2 memory module in DDR2 slot (DIMM_DDR2_1~4). Wrong
installation may cause damage of mainboard. Meanwhile, you are not able to boot up
your system if you install DDR2 & DDR3 memory modules simultaneously.

Installing Memory Modules
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Hardware Setup
Installing DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Card
The DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards are memory switchers which should be installed in
DIMM slots. If your memory is DDR2, you should install the DIMM_DDR3_1 side of
DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards into DIMM_DDR3_1 and DIMM_DDR3_2. If your memory is
DDR3, you should install the DIMM_DDR2_1 side of DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards into
DIMM_DDR2_2 and DIMM_DDR2_4.

Important
-In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the
same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
-To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules
into the DIMM_DDR2_1 or DIMM_DDR3_1 first.
-To overclock your DDR3 memory and raise FSB higher then 1333MHz, you
must remove the DDR2/DDR3 Turbo Cards from the DIMM slots.

1. Make sure that all the connectors are connected to proper ATX power supplies to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.
2. Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for system
stability.
3. ATX 12V power connection should be greater than 18A.
4. If the JPWR2 connector too closes the heatpipe and plug inconveniently. You
could use the bundled ATX Extender to increase connector height. It can
prevent the power cable to touch the heatpipe as well.

Hardware Setup
Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN, SYSFAN1~5
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.

1.Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s official website
or consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2.CPUFAN supports fan control. You can install Dual Core Center utility that
will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the actual CPU
temperature.
3. Fan cooler set with 3 or 4 pins power connector are both available for
CPUFAN.
Chassis Intrusion Connector: JCI1
This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the chassis is
opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record
this status and show a warning message on the screen. To clear the warning, you
