Safety Information
Electrical safety
To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electri-
cal outlet before relocating the system.
When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If
possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a
device.
Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that
all power cables are unplugged.
Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These
devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If
you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact
your local power company.
If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified
service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the
manuals that came with the package.
Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the
power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer
immediately.
To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connec-
tors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
Place the product on a stable surface.
If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.

2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
2.2 Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure
that the motherboard fits into it.
2.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the
correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis
as indicated in the image below.
Caution!  Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
 Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling com-
ponents to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
 Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
 Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX
power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the
power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
Warning! Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and dam-
age motherboard components.

2.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to
the chassis.
Warning! Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.
Place this side towards the rear of the
chassis.

2.4.2 Connect the CPU Fan Cable
Connect the CPU fan cable to the
CPU_FAN connector on the mother-
board.
Caution!  Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insuf-
ficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard
components, and hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail
to plug this connector.
 These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan con-
nectors.
Warning! After installation, make sure to plug-in the ATX power cable to the moth-
erboard.
