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.

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 is 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 guar-

antee 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.

Lift the load lever up and open the

load plate.

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.

En-8

MS-7522 Mainboard

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated

well into the socket. If not, take out

the CPU with pure vertical motion

and reinstall.

Cover the load plate onto the pack-

age.

Press down the load lever lightly onto

the load plate, and then secure the

lever with the hook under retention

tab.

7. 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.

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.

•

Press the four hooks down to fasten

the cooler.

9. Turn over the mainboard to con󰘰rm

that the clip-ends are correctly in-

serted.

Finally, attach the CPU Fan cable to

the CPU fan connector on the main-

board.

the DDR3 DIMM slots.

In Triple-Channel/ 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, always insert the memory modules into the

DIMM_1 󰘰rst.

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

to 23+GB (not full 24GB) 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.

Important

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

DIMM slot.

Power Supply

ATX 24-pin Power Connector: JPWR1

This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX

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.

Clear CMOS Button

There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep

the system con󰘰guration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically

boot OS every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system con󰘰guration, use

the button to clear data. Press the button to clear the data.

Important

Make sure that you power o󰘯 the system before clearing CMOS data.

After pressing this button to clear CMOS data in power o󰘯 (G3) state, the system will

boot automatically.

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 con-

nected 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.
