Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even
before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer
components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han-
dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are
ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts
or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or con
nectors by their ends.
Safety Measures
To avoid damage to the system:
• Use the correct AC input voltage range.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or
servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power
cord.
Battery:
• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other com-
ponents. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD worksta-
tion only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chas-
sis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system
chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Installing a CPU
1. Make sure the system and all other peripheral devices connected to it have been powered-o.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. Before installing the Intel CPU, remove the 8 mounting screws on the top of the
system unit and put them in a safe place for later use.
4. The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 1151 socket. This socket is ex-
clusively designed for installing a LGA 1151 packaged Intel CPU.
Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA 1151 socket comes with a protective
cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s contact pins are not bent. If
the cap is missing or the cap or contact pins are damaged, contact your dealer im-
mediately.
2. Keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted and processed only if the
LGA 1151 socket comes with the protective cap.
5. Unlock the socket by pushing the load lever down, move it sideways until it is released
from the retention tab, and then lift the load lever up.

www.d.com
17
6. Remove the protective cap from the CPU socket. The cap is used to protect the CPU sock-
et against dust and harmful particles. Remove the protective cap only to install the CPU.
7. Insert the CPU into the socket. The gold triangular mark on the CPU must align with the
corner of the CPU socket as the photo shown below.
8. Unlock the socket by pushing the load lever down and moving it sideways until it is re-
leased from the retention tab and then lift the load lever up.

9. Insert the CPU into the socket. The gold triangular mark on the CPU must align with the
corner of the CPU socket as shown below. The CPU’s notch will at the same time fit into
the socket’s alignment key.
Alignment key Gold triangular mark
Important:
The CPU will fit in only one orientation and can easily be inserted without exerting
any force.
10. Close the load plate and push the load lever down to lock it under the retention tab. While
closing the load plate, slide the front edge of the load plate under the retention tab.

Installing the Fan and Heat Sink
The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heat sink. Without sufficient air cir-
culation across the CPU and heat sink, the CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and
system board.
1. Before you install the fan / heat sink, you must apply a thermal paste onto the top of
the CPU. The thermal paste is usually supplied when you purchase the fan / heat sink
assembly. Do not spread the paste all over the surface. When you later place the heat
sink on top of the CPU, the compound will disperse evenly.
Some heat sinks come with a patch of pre-applied thermal paste. Do not apply thermal
paste if the fan / heat sink already has a patch of thermal paste on its underside. Peel
the strip that covers the paste before you place the fan / heat sink on top of the CPU.
2. Place the heat sink on top
of the CPU. The 4 screw
around the heat sink,
which are used to secure
the heat sink onto the sys-
tem board, must match the
4 mounting holes around
the socket.
3. Orient the heat sink such
that the CPU fan’s cable is
nearest the CPU fan con-
nector.
Note:
A boxed Intel® processor already includes the CPU fan and heat sink assembly.
If your CPU was purchased separately, make sure to only use Intel®-certified fan
and heat sink.

If you encounter the following conditions, you can reconfigure the system with the default val-
ues stored in the ROM BIOS.
a) CMOS data becomes corrupted.
b) You forgot the supervisor or user password.
To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow these steps below:
1. Power-off the system and unplug the power cord.
2. Set the jumper pins 2 and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set the jumper back to its
default setting: 1-2 On.
3. Now plug the power cord and power on the system.

Auto Power-on Select
JP11 is used to select the method of powering on the system. If you want the system to
power-on whenever AC power comes in, set JP11 pins 2 and 3 to On. If you want to use the
power button, set pins 1 and 2 to On.
When using the JP11 “Power On” feature to power the system back on after a power failure
, the system may not power on if the power lost is resumed within 5 seconds (power flicker).
1-2 On:
Power-on via the
power button (default)
2-3 On:
Power-on via AC power
