Chapter 2 Installation

2-1 Before You Begin

Please take note of all precautions before you install anything on to the mainboard or change any of the mainboard settings. Turn off the power to your system and discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded surface—for example, the metal surface of the power supply—before performing any hardware procedure. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified computer technician. Damage to system components, the mainboard, and injury to you may result if power is applied during installation.

2-2 Installing the I/O Shield

The mainboard comes complete with an I/O shield. When installed in the chassis, the shield blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.

Install the I/O shield before installing the mainboard in the chassis. Place the shield inside the chassis. Press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and securely. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly sized shield from the chassis supplier.

2-3 Securing to the Chassis

When installing the mainboard, you have to secure the mainboard into the chassis by fastening with nine screws. Please refer to your chassis manual for instructions on installing.

Page 13

~ 9 ~

2-4 Installing System Memory

This mainboard has two 240-pin DIMM sockets for DDR3 memory.

y Supports 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs.

y Supports 1.5v DDR3-1066/800 DIMMs with single channel architecture.

Memory configurations

To use 1 DIMM: Install into either DIMM slot 1 or slot 2.

To use 2 DIMMs: Install into DIMM slot 1 and DIMM slot 2.

Memory Installation

DDR3 and DDR2 memory modules are physically different. Please only install DDR3 DIMMs in this mainboard.

To make sure you have the correct DIMM, check that all the notches line up with the DDR3 DIMM slot.

To install the DIMM, follow these steps:

1. Pull clips on either side of the slot outwards. Align the DIMM module with the slot.

2. Press modules straight down until the plastic clips close and the module fits tightly into the DIMM slot. Push clips inwards to make sure they are in place.

2-5 Installing Expansion Cards

The mainboard provides one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot.

PCI-E Slot

The design of this motherboard supports PCI-E Express x16 card complying with the PCI Express specification.

ÍNote: This PCI-Express x16 slot only supports x4 bandwidth and is intended

only for graphics card use.

To install a PCI Express card:

1. Place the card in the PCI Express slot and press down on the card until it is completely seated in the slot. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the pins.

2. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.

2-6 Connecting Cables

This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the mainboard.

Connecting Power Supply Cables

y 24-pin ATX Power

PW2 is the main power supply connector. Make sure that the power supply cable pins are properly aligned with the connector on the mainboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure.

Note: If you’d like to use 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug in your power supply

cable aligned with pins 1 & 13. The 24-pin main power connector is backwardly compatible with ATX power supplies with 20-pin connectors.

y 4-pin ATX 12V Power

PW12, a 4-pin ATX 12V power connector, is used to provide power to the CPU. Align the power plug to the connector and press firmly until seated.

Connecting Serial ATA (SATA) Cables

SATA cables support Serial ATA protocol. Each cable can be used to connect one internal SATA drive to mainboard.

The SATA0 ~SATA3 connectors operate at a speed up to 6Gb/s.

Connecting to the Internal Headers and Connectors

Front Panel Header

The front panel header on this motherboard is used to connect the front panel switches and LEDs.

PWR_LED

Attach the front panel power LED cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power LED indicates the system’s status.

System Status Power LED indicates

On The LED is on Off The LED is off

S3 The LED will blink S4 The LED isoff

PW_ON

Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the power button on the front panel turns the system on and off rather than using the onboard button.

HD_LED

Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.

RESET

Attach the Reset switch cable from the front panel of the case to these two pins. The system restarts when the RESET switch is pressed.
