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, 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 com-
•
ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

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 sup-
•
ply 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 hard-
•
ware 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 sys-
•
tem components as well as physical harm to the user.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:
Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.•
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing•
the CPU to prevent hardware damage.
Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may•
locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.•
Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and dam-•
age of the CPU may occur.

B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU socket.
Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from
the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.
Step 1:
Gently press the CPU socket lever handle down

Step 5:
Push the CPU socket lever back into its locked
position.
Step 4:
Once the CPU is properly inserted, use one
hand to hold the socket lever and use the other
to lightly replace the load plate. When replacing
the load plate, make sure the front end of the
load plate is under the shoulder screw.
NOTE:
Hold the CPU socket lever by the handle, not the
lever base portion.
Step 2:
Remove the CPU socket cover as shown. Hold
your index finger down on the rear grip of the
socket cover and use your thumb to lift up the

then remove the cover. (DO NOT touch socket
contacts. To protect the CPU socket, always re-
place the protective socket cover when the CPU
is not installed.)

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler
Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (The following procedure uses
Intel®boxed cooler as the example cooler.)
Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the
CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage
the CPU.
Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease
on the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:
Before installing the cooler, note the direction of
the arrow sign on the male push pin. (Turn-
ing the push pin along the direction of arrow is to
remove the cooler, on the contrary, is to install.)
Step 3:
Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four
push pins through the pin holes on the mother-
board. Push down on the push pins diagonally.
Step 4:
You should hear a "click" when pushing down
each push pin. Check that the Male and Female
push pins are joined closely. (Refer to your CPU
cooler installation manual for instructions on
installing the cooler.)
Step 5:
After the installation, check the back of the moth-
erboard. If the push pin is inserted as the picture
above shows, the installation is complete.
Step 6:
Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU
cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the
motherboard.

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.1.
When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that2.
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored
DDR3 sockets for optimum performance. 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.

abling 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
following:
Channel A: DDR3_2, DDR3_4
Channel B: DDR3_1, DDR3_3
(SS=Single-Sided, DS=Double-Sided, "- -"=No 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 direc-•
tion. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

insert it vertically into the memory socket.
Step 2:

memory module is securely inserted.
Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module.
DDR3 and DDR2 DIMMs are not compatible to each other or DDR DIMMs. Be sure to install
DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard.

1-5 Installing an Expansion Card
Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.
Locate an expansion slot that supports your card. Remove the metal slot cover from the chassis back panel.1.
Align the card with the slot, and press down on the card until it is fully seated in the slot.2.
Make sure the metal contacts on the card are completely inserted into the slot.3.
Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.4.
After installing all expansion cards, replace the chassis cover(s).5.
Turn on your computer. If necessary, go to BIOS Setup to make any required BIOS changes for your6.
expansion card(s).
Install the driver provided with the expansion card in your operating system.7.
Example: Installing and Removing a PCI Express Graphics Card:
