1-1 Installation Precautions
The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become
damagedasaresultofelectrostaticdischarge(ESD).Priortoinstallation,carefullyreadtheuser's
manual and follow these procedures:
•Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.
•Priortoinstallation,donotremoveorbreakmotherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or
warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.
•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before
installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.
•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make
sure they are connected tightly and securely.
•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic
components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,
keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.
•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an
electrostatic shielding container.
•Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply
has been turned off.
•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to
the local voltage standard.
•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware
components are connected.
•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the
motherboard circuit or its components.
•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or
within the computer casing.
•Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.
•Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.
•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system
components as well as physical harm to the user.
•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the
product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.
•If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation
and/orgroundinginstructions.

A. Locatethepinone(denotedbyasmalltriangle)oftheAPUsocketandtheAPU.
ReadthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstalltheAPU:
•Make sure that the motherboard supports the APU.
 (GotoGIGABYTE'swebsiteforthelatestAPUsupportlist.)
•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
APU to prevent hardware damage.
•Locate the pin one of the APU. The APU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly.
•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the APU.
•Do not turn on the computer if the APU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage
of the APU may occur.
•SettheAPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeAPUspecications.Itisnotrecommended
thatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthe

B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the APU into the motherboard APU socket.
•Before installing the APU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet to prevent damage to the APU.
•DonotforcetheAPUintotheAPUsocket.TheAPUcannottiniforientedincorrectly.Adjustthe
APU orientation if this occurs.
Step 1:
Completely lift up the APU socket locking lever.
Step 2:
AligntheAPUpinone(smalltrianglemarking)withthetrianglemark
on the APU socket and gently insert the APU into the socket. Make
surethattheAPUpinstperfectlyintotheirholes.

1-3-2 Installing the APU Cooler
Follow the steps below to correctly install the APU cooler on the motherboard.
UseextremecarewhenremovingtheAPUcoolerbecausethethermalgrease/tapebetweentheAPU
cooler and APU may adhere to the APU. Inadequately removing theAPU cooler may damage the APU.
Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on
the surface of the installed APU.
Step 2:
Hook the APU cooler clip to the mounting lug on
one side of the retention frame. On the other side,
push straight down on the APU cooler clip to hook
it to the mounting lug on the retention frame.
Step 4:
Finally, attach the power connector of the APU
coolertotheAPUfanheader(CPU_FAN)onthe
motherboard.
Step 3:
Turn the cam handle from the left side to the
rightside (as thepicture above shows)to lock
intoplace.(RefertoyourCPUcoolerinstallation
manualforinstructionsoninstallingthecooler.)

1-4 Installing the Memory
Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallthememory:
•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same
capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(GotoGIGABYTE'swebsiteforthelatestsupportedmemoryspeedsandmemorymodules.)
•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
memory to prevent hardware damage.
•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Thismotherboard provides fourDDR3 memory sockets and supportsDual Channel Technology.Afterthe
memoryisinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.Enabling
Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
ThefourDDR3memorysocketsaredividedintotwochannelsandeachchannelhastwomemorysocketsas

Due to APU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. DualChannelmodecannotbeenabledifonlyoneDDR3memorymoduleisinstalled.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory
ofthesamecapacity,brand,speed,andchipsbe used and installed in thesamecoloredDDR3
sockets. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules,
werecommendthatyouinstallthemintheDDR3_1andDDR3_2sockets.

Step 1:
Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining clips
at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory module on the
socket.Asindicatedinthepictureontheleft,placeyourngerson
the top edge of the memory, push down on the memory and insert it
vertically into the memory socket.

1-5 Installing an Expansion Card
Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallanexpansioncard:
•Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came
with your expansion card.
•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an
expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.
1. Locateanexpansionslotthatsupportsyourcard.Removethemetalslotcoverfromthechassisbackpanel.
2. Align the card with the slot, and press down on the card until it is fully seated in the slot.
3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot.
4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.
5. Afterinstallingallexpansioncards,replacethechassiscover(s).
6. Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes for your
expansioncard(s).
7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.
Example:InstallingandRemovingaPCIExpressGraphicsCard:
