WARNING: CMOS Battery Damage
Replace your system’s CMOS RAM battery only with the identical CR-2032 3V Lithium-Ion coin cell (or equivalent) battery
type to avoid risk of personal injury or physical damage to your equipment. Improper installation might cause battery to
explode. Always dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or as required by the local
ordinance (where applicable). The damage due to not following this warning will void your motherboard’s manufacturer
warranty.
Perchlorate Material- Special Handling May Apply.

ATTENTION: Incorrect BIOS Setup
If you do not know how to handle BIOS setup or how to set it up properly, it is strongly advisable that you do not modify any
of the settings than otherwise instructed in the User’s Quick Start Card. Even a seemingly small incorrect adjustment or
modification in the BIOS setup can render your system unstable or unusable. Incorrect BIOS setup is not covered by your
motherboard’s manufacturer warranty. Try Clear CMOS information when system does not boot after BIOS settings
change.

WARNING: Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD)
Static electricity can easily damage your motherboard and will void your motherboard warranty. Keep the motherboard
and other system components in their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. Touch a grounded surface
before you remove any system component from its protective anti-static packaging. Unpacking and installation should be
done on a grounded, anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same
points as the anti-static mat. During configuration and installation touch a grounded surface frequently to discharge any
static electrical charge that may have built up in your body. Avoid touching the components when handling the
motherboard or a peripheral card. Handle the motherboard and peripheral cards either by the edges or by the peripheral
card case-mounting bracket.
WARNING: Misplaced Jumper Damage
Incorrect jumpers and connectors settings may lead to damage to your motherboard and will void your motherboard
warranty. Please pay special attention to not connect these headers in the wrong direction. DO NOT change ANY jumpers
while the motherboard has power.

CPU Installation
This processor is intended to be professionally installed. Take proper electrostatics discharge (ESD)
precautions such as using appropriate ground strips, gloves, and ESD mats.
•Insert CPU into CPU socket and turn the screw to the lock position.
Note: Do not force the CPU into the socket. It may bend the pins and damage the CPU.
Installing the CPU Cooler
z-Insert the retention bracket through the screw hole from bottom side of motherboard.
-Match and place CPU cooler assembly on the top of CPU and retention bracket.
-Tighten the screws into the retention bracket.
