Assembly Precautions

■ The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic

 

discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful

 

computer assembly.

 

■ Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet

 

before installing or removing any computer component.

Chapter

■ Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause

the mainboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is not available,

the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start.

 

■ Hold the mainboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components.

 

■ It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling

 

discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object before han-

1

dling the mainboard.

 

■ Store the mainboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an antistatic pad

 

whenever the mainboard is not installed.

 

■ Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal com-

 

ponents on the mainboard or anywhere within the computer case.

 

■ Do not use the computer in a high-temperature environment.

 

■ Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause perma-

 

nent damage to the components as well as injury to the user.

 

■ If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer tech-

 

nician.

 

Important

A screwdriver (not included) may be required for computer assembly.

Introduction to the LGA 1155 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1155 CPU has two alignment keys and a yellow triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for mainboard placement. The yellow triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.

Overheating

Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and mainboard. 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.

Replacing the CPU

When replacing the CPU, always turn off the system’s power supply and unplug the power supply’s power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.

Overclocking

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommend. MSI does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

CPU & Cooler Installation

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

3.Line up the CPU to fit the CPU socket. Be sure to hold the CPU by the base with the metal contacts facing downward. The alignment keys on the CPU will line up with the edges of the CPU socket to ensure a correct fit.

4.Close the loading plate and remove the plastic protective cap.

5.Inspect the CPU to check if it is properly seated in the socket. Press the loading lever down and lock it under the retention tab.

7.Locate the CPU fan connector on the mainboard.

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.

8.Place the heatsink on the mainboard withthefan’swiresfacingtowardsthe fanconnectorandthehooksmatching the holes on the mainboard.

9.Push down on the heatsink until the four clips get wedged into the holes on the mainboard. Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. As each hook locks into position a click should be heard.

10.Inspect the mainboard to ensure that the clip-ends have been properly locked in place.

Important

Do not touch the CPU socket pins.

Confirm that the CPU cooler 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.

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

Mounting Screw Holes

When installing the mainboard, first install the necessary mounting stands required for an mainboard on the mounting plate in your computer case. If there is an I/O back plate

that came withngi

the computer case, please replace it with the I/O backplate that came

with the mainboard package. The I/O backplate should snap easily into the computer

case without the need for any screws. Align the mounting plate’s mounting stands with

 

i

toward

the screw holes on the mainboard and secure the mainboard with the screws provided

 

th

 

with your computer case. The locations of the screw holes on the mainboard are shown

Important

Install the mainboard on a flat surface free from unnecessary debris.

To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuitry and the computer case, except for the mounting stands, is prohibited.

Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the mainboard or within the computer case that may cause a short circuit of the mainboard.

Power Supply

JPWR1: ATX 24-pin Power Connector

This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, align the power supply cable with the connector and firmly press the cable into the connector. If done correctly, the clip on the power cable should be hooked on the mainboard’s power connector.

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.

Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 31+ GB of memory (not full 32 GB) when all DIMM slots have 8GB memory modules installed.

Installing Memory Modules

1.

Unlock the DIMM slot by pushing the mounting clips to the side. Vertically insert the

 

memory module into the DIMM slot. The memory module has an off-center notch on

 

the bottom that will only allow it to fit one way into the DIMM slot.

2.

Push the memory module deep into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at each side

 

of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seat

 

and an audible click should be heard.

3.

Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot’s

side clips.

Expansion Slots

This mainboard contains numerous ports for expansion cards, such as discrete graphics or audio cards.

PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) Slot

The PCIe slot supports the PCIe interface expansion card.

PCIe 3.0 x16 Slot

PCIe 2.0 x1 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.
