Chapter 2 Installation
is is a SSI CEB form factor (12'' x 10.5'', 30.5 cm x 26.7 cm) motherboard. Before you
install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the
motherboard ts into it.
2.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static electricity, NEVER
place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a
grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the compo-
nents.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in
the bag that comes with the component.
5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis,
please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched o 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.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure
to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.

2.3 Installing the CPU and Heatsink
1. Before you insert the CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the socket,
if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not force to
insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be
seriously damaged.
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
