1.3.Motherboard Layout

Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.
2.1.Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, 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 equip-
ment from/to the computer chassis.
2.2.Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a CPU or memory. You need to purchase a CPU, a CPU fan assembly,
and memory to complete this installation.
2.2.1.Installing the CPU
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Make sure not to bend or break any pins on the back. Hold the processor only by the
edges and do not touch the bottom of the processor.
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.
1.Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.
2.Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover on the load plate to protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.
3.Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.
4.Remove the processor from its protective cover, making sure you hold it only by the edges.
It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU, you have a safe place to store it.
5.Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.
6.Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or sliding it into the socket
7.Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you close and engage the socket lever.
8.There are many different fan types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the instruction that came with you fan
assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct for your chassis type and your fan assembly.

The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the connectors
on the socket and damaging the CPU!
2.3.Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has 2 slots for DDR4 memory. They support dual channel DDR4 memory technology. There must be
at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing
memory.
One DIMM: Install into DIMM1or DIMM2.You can install the DIMM into any slot, however, slot 1 is preferred.
Two DIMMs: Install into DIMM1 & DIMM2,to build dual channel.
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near
the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both
sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.

2.4.Inslling 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. Use the following procedure to install the I/O
shield and secure the motherboard into the chassis.
2.5.Installing the I/O Shield
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency transmissions, protects internal compo-
nents from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow 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 fits securely. If the I/O shield does not fit into the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the
chassis supplier.
2.6.Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the mother board 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 recom-
mended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.
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 a minimum of eight-to-ten screws.
Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to lock into place and for the expan-
sion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers.
