Hardware Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of the motherboard. The topics covered in this
section are:

q Installing Memory Modules

q Installing the Motherboard

q Connecting Cables and Setting Switches

Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and injury, always follow basic safety precautions.

Remember to remove power from your computer by disconnecting the AC main source before
removing or installing any equipment from/to the computer chassis.

Installing Memory Modules

Your new motherboard has two 1.5V 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 1

GB/2 GB/4 GB/8 GB DDR3 devices. There must be at least one memory bank populated to

ensure normal operation. Refer to the following recommendations to install memory modules.

Note that a memory module has a notch, so it can only t in one direction. Refer to the following

procedure to install memory modules into the slots on the motherboard.

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

slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the slot automatically lock the DIMM into the

connector.

Hardware Installation

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 rst.

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 airow 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 ts securely. If the I/O shield does not t 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 motherboard 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 the stud to prevent

the possibility of a short circuit. In most cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard

with 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.

5. Secure the motherboard with screws.
