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.

2-4 Installing System Memory

This mainboard has two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets for DDR3 memory.

y Supports 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
y Supports 1.5v DDR3-1066/800 SO-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 both clips on either side of the slot outwards. Align the DIMM module
with the slot.

2. Press straight down until the plastic clips close and the module fits tightly
into the DIMM slot.

2-5 Installing Expansion Cards

The mainboard provides one PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and one mini PCI-E 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 use by a graphics card.

To install a PCI Express card:

1. Place the card in an available 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.

Mini PCI-E Slot

The Mini PCI-E Slot is used to connect compliant Mini PCI-Express x1 devices
such as a wireless network card, USB card or other devices.

To install a Mini PCI-E card:

1. Align the notch in the Mini PCI card edge connector with the tab in the slot.

2. Plug the Mini PCI card firmly into the slot at a 45-degree angle, and until it
clicks into place.

3. Fasten Mini PCI-E card onto the two nuts with accompanied screws.
