Safety Information
Electrical safety
zTo prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical
outlet before relocating the system.
zWhen 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.
zBefore connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all
power cables are unplugged.
zSeek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These
devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
zMake 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.
zIf the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
zBefore installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the
manuals that came with the package.
zBefore 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.
zTo avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,
slots, sockets and circuitry.
zAvoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area
where it may become wet.
zPlace the product on a stable surface.
zIf you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.

Production Introduction
1.1 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
zUnplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
zUse a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
zHold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on
them.
zWhenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
zBefore 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.

1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that
the motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the
motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 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.
1.2.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.
Place this side towards the rear
of the chassis

1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount the Intel® BGA1288 Core i7/i5/i3 Mobile
process.
1.4.1 Installing the CPU Cooler
The Intel® Core i7/i5/i3 Mobile processor requires a specially designed Cooler assembly to
ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
zInstall the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU
Cooler assembly.
1. Place the backplate on the rear side
of the CPU so that the screw bolts
stick through the mounting holes.

2. Place the Cooler on top of the CPU,
making sure that the four screws match the
holes on the motherboard.
Orient the Cooler assembly
such that the CPU fan cable
is closest to the CPU fan
connector.
zPlease take off the protection cover at the bottom side of the
Cooler first!
3. Screwing Cooler to the screw bolts of the
backplate.
zTighten the screws until they stop.

4. Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labelled
CPU_FAN1.
zDo not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors.
Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the
motherboard components, and hardware monitoring errors can
occur if you fail to plug this connector.
zThese are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan
connectors.
