protectthemagainstdamagefromstaticelectricity,youshouldfollowsomeprecautionswheneveryou
workon yourcomputer.
1.Unplug yourcomputerwhen working onthe inside.
2.Useagroundedwriststrap beforehandlingcomputercomponents.Ifyou do nothaveone,

3.Holdcomponentsbythe edgesand trynottouchthe ICchips,leadsorconnectors,orother
components.
4.Placecomponentson agrounded antistaticpad oron thebag thatcamewiththe components
wheneverthe componentsareseparated fromthe system.
5.EnsurethattheATXpowersupplyisswitched off beforeyou plug inorremovethe ATXpower

Tosetup yourcomputer,you mustcompletethe following steps:
Step 1-Install the CentralProcessing Unit(CPU)
Step 2-Install memorymodules
Step 3-Install expansion cards
Step 4-Connectribbon cables,cabinetwires,and powersupply
HardwareInstallation Process
Step1:Install theCentralProcessing Unit(CPU)
Beforeinstalling the processor,adheretothe following warning:
1.Pleasemakesurethe CPUtype issupported bythe motherboard.
2.The processorwill overheatwithoutthe heatsinkand/orfan,resulting inpermanent
irreparabledamage.
3. If you do notmatchthe CPUsocketPin1and CPUcutedge well,itwill causeimproper
installation.Pleasechange the insertorientation.
4.Applythermalgreasebetween the processorand cooling fan.
5.Neverrun the processorwithoutthe heatsinkproperlyand firmlyattached.Permanent
damage will result.
6.Pleasesetthe CPUhostfrequency inaccordancewithyourprocessor'sspecifications.
Wedon'trecomm end you tosetthe systembusfrequency overthe CPU'sspecification
becausethesespecificbusfrequenciesarenotthe standardspecificationsforCPU,
chipsetand mostofthe peripherals.Whetheryoursystemcan run underthesespecific
busfrequenciesproperlywill depend on yourhardwareconfigurations,including CPU,
Memory,Cards…etc.

Beforeinstalling the memorymodules,adheretothe following warning:
1.Pleasenotethatthe DIMM modulecan onlyfitinone direction due tothe one notch.
Wrong orientation will causeimproperinstallation.Pleasechange the insertorientation.
Step2:Install MemoryModules
The motherboardhas2dualinline memorymodule(DIM M)sockets.The BIOSwill automatically
detectsmemorytype and size.Toinstall the memorymodule,justpushitverticallyintothe DIMM
socket. The DIM M modulecan onlyfitinone direction due tothe notch.Memorysizecan varybetween
