Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does
memory. You need to purchase these to complete this installation.
Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or
break any pins on the back. Hold the processor only by the edges and
do not touch the bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU
onto the motherboard.
1.
Unhook the socket lever by pushing
and
away
from the socket.
2.
Lift the load plate. There is a protective
socket cover on the load plate to protect
the socket when there is no CPU installed.
3.
Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.
4.
Remove the processor from its protective
cover, making sure you hold it only by the
edges.
It is a good idea to save the cover so that
whenever you remove the CPU, you have a
safe place to store it.

Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the
socket.
7.
Close the load plate over the CPU and press
down while you close and engage the socket
lever.
Installing the CPU Fan
There are many different fan types that can be used with this
motherboard. Follow the instruction that came with you fan assembly.
Be sure that the fan orientation is correct for your chassis type and
your fan assembly.
Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory.
These slots support 256 MB, 512 MB 1 GB and 2 GB DDR2
technologies. They also support dual channel DDR2 memory
technology up to 10.7GB/s. There must be at least one memory bank
populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the
recommendations for installing memory.
10
One DIMM: Install into slot 1. You can install the DIMM into any
slot, however, slot 1 is preferred.
Two DIMMs: Install into slots 1 and 2.
CPU side
DIMM Slot 1
DIMM Slot 2
Hardware Installation
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs. Note that there
is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches
the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed
properly.
1.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2.
Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module
vertically into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the
DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.
Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends
on the chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing
motherboard or working with an empty chassis. Determine if it would
be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure
the motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally
easier to secure the motherboard first.
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the
motherboard into the chassis.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis
covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the
CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.
Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block
radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from
dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the
chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the
inside
of the chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it
11
XFX nForce 630i/610i Motherboard
fits securely. If the I/O shield does not fit into the chassis, you would
need to obtain the proper size from the chassis supplier.
Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to
allow the mother board to be secured to the chassis and help to
prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not align with a
mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you
remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In most
cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a
minimum of nine (9) spacers.
1.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located
inside the chassis.
2.
Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
3.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents
according to the fan assembly instruction.
12
5.
Secure the motherboard with a minimum of eight-to-ten screws.

aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly 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 (refer to the image at the right hand).
There is also a foolproof design on pin 11, 12, 23 & 24 to avoid wrong
installation.

2. Power supply of 350 watts (and above) is highly recommended for
system stability.
Connecting IDE Hard Disk Drives
The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA 133/100/66 IDE hard disk
drives.
1.
Connect the blue connector (the cable end with a single
connector) to the motherboard.
2.
Connect the black connector (the cable with the two closely spaced
black and gray connectors) to the Ultra ATA master device.
3.
Connect the gray connector to a slave device.
If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second
drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to the
hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.
Note: If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer
protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between
the drives may be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
Connecting Serial ATA Cables
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each
connector can connect to one Serial ATA device.

COM1
The motherboard kit provides an additional serial COM header for
your machine. Connect one side of a switching cable to the header
and then attach the serial COM device to the other side of the cable.
FDD Connector
The motherboard supports a standard 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44m, and
a 2.88M floppy disk drive (FDD).
Expansion Slots
The XFX nForce 780i SLI motherboard contains six expansion slots,
four PCI Express slots and two PCI slots. For a full list of PCI Express
x16 graphics card supported by this motherboard, go to
www.xfxforce.com
.
20
PCI Slots
The two PCI slots support many expansion cards such as a LAN card,
USB card, SCSI card and other cards that comply with PCI
specifications. When installing a card into the PCI slot, be sure that it
is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back
panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.
PCI Express x1 Slot
There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate
less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1
slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.
Hardware Installation
PCI Express x16 Slots
There is one PCI Express x16 slot reserved for graphics or video
cards. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec
concurrent). The design of this motherboard supports one PCIExpress graphics cards using NVIDIA’s SLI technology with multiple
displays.
When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the retention clip
snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly,
it could cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket
to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.

XFX nForce 630i/610i Motherboard
Jumper Settings
The motherboard contains a 3-pin BIOS configuration jumper that
enables all board configurations to be done in the BIOS Setup
program.
Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1
The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all the set parameters.
The CMOS can be cleared by removing the CMOS jumper.
Use the following procedure to clear CMOS:
1.
Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 2 and 3 together
using the jumper cap. It normally takes about 1 to 2 minute for
the CMOS to clear.
22
2.
Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 1 and 2 together with
the jumper cap).
3.
Turn the AC power supply back on.
