The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge ESD. Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures:.
These stickers are required for warranty validation. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.
The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals.
If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc. Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU. Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate. Once the CPU is properly inserted, replace the load plate and push the CPU socket lever back into its locked position.
Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the installed CPU.
Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four push pins through the pin holes on the motherboard. Push down on the push pins diagonally. After the installation, check the back of the motherboard. If the push pin is inserted as the picture above shows, the installation is complete. Before installing the cooler, note the direction of the arrow sign on the male push pin.
Turning the push pin along the direction of arrow is to remove the cooler, on the contrary, is to install. You should hear a "click" when pushing down each push pin. Check that the Male and Female push pins are joined closely.
Refer to your CPU cooler installation manual for instructions on installing the cooler. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:.
Dual Channel Memory Configurations Table. Due to chipset limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored DDR3 sockets for optimum performance. When memory modules of different capacity and chips are installed, a message which says memory is operating in Flex Memory Mode will appear during the POST.
Intel Flex Memory Technology offers greater flexibility to upgrade by allowing different memory sizes to be populated and remain in. Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. A DDR3 memory module has a notch, so it can only fit in one direction. Follow the steps below to correctly install your memory modules in the memory sockets.
Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining clips at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory module on the socket. As indicated in the picture on the left, place your fingers on the top edge of the memory, push down on the memory and insert it vertically into the memory socket. The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place when the memory module is securely inserted. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card.
Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot. Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chassis back panel. Align the card with the slot, and press down on the card until it is fully seated in the slot.
Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot. After installing all expansion cards, replace the chassis cover s. Turn on your computer. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.
Gently push down on the top edge of the card until it is fully inserted into the PCI Express slot. Make sure the card is securely seated in the slot and does not rock. Press the white latch at the end of the PCI Express slot to release the card and then pull the card straight up from the slot.
This connector provides digital audio out to an external audio system that supports digital optical audio. Before using this feature, ensure that your audio system provides an optical digital audio in connector.
This connector provides digital audio out to an external audio system that supports digital coaxial audio. Before using this feature, ensure that your audio system provides a coaxial digital audio in connector.
Do not rock it side to side to prevent an electrical short inside the cable connector. Use this audio jack to connect side speakers in a 7. The default line in jack. Use this audio jack for line in devices such as an optical drive, walkman, etc. The default line out jack. Use this audio jack for a headphone or 2-channel speaker.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices. With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start. If a power supply is used that does not. When using a 2x12 power supply, remove the protective cover from the main power connector on the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cable into pins under the protective cover when using a 2x10 power supply. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.
When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation the black connector wire is the ground wire. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.
This connector is used to connect a floppy disk drive. The types of floppy disk drives supported are: KB, KB, 1. Before connecting a floppy disk drive, be sure to locate pin 1 of the connector and the floppy disk drive cable.
The pin 1 of the cable is typically designated by a stripe of different color.
