Environmental Safety Instruction
zAvoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
z0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request
of the main chipset).
zGenerally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact
malfunction and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from
the welding spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go
through an adaptive phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold
environment to a warmer one to avoid condensation phenomenon. These water
drops attached on PCB or the surface of the components can bring about
phenomena as minor as computer instability resulted from corrosion and oxidation
from components and PCB or as major as short circuit that can burn the
components. Suggest starting the computer until the temperature goes up.
zThe increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer.
Using the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher
temperature in the inner of the case.
zAttention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may
decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal
management becomes increasingly crucial while building computer systems. Maintaining the
proper thermal environment is the key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall
goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified
maximum case temperature. Heat sinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through
increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface
materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heat sink. For optimum
heat transfer, Intel recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the
heat sink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for
collection of heat sinks evaluated and recommended by Intel for use with Intel processors.
Note, those heat sinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case
requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all
heat sinks that support Intel processors.

2-3-2 About Intel LGA 1155 CPU Socket
This motherboard provides an 1155-pin DIP, LGA 1155 Land Grid Array socket,
referred to as the LGA 1155 socket.
The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to
prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN
before you turn on your system.
NOTED! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s
heat sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it
may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage,
you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA
1155 socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then
upward to a 135-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown
below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the
CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation
as shown.
When you install the CPU into the LGA 1155 socket, there’s no force required CPU
insertion; then presses the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.

2-3-3 LGA 1155 CPU Installation Guide
1. Please make sure that CPU socket is facing
towards you and the level is on you left hand
side.
2. Press down the level and move it to the left side
to make sure it is freed from the hook and then
open it upwards about 135 degree.
3. Open the level upwards about 135 degree and the
metal protection plate will be pulled up at the same
time.
4. Remove the plastic protective cap from the
socket. (Put it to the original place if CPU is not
installed. Do not touch the metal contact point of
the CPU socket).
5. Make sure that golden finger in the right place as shown in the above illustration and
match the two alignment keys on the CPU with two points of the socket. CPU can only be
correctly installed with this direction. Incorrect installation might cause damage to CPU.

6．Put down the load plate in the direction shown
above.
7. Press down the load level and move it rightwards
make sure it is locked under the notch.
2-3-4 Intel Reference Thermal Solution Assembly
1. Put the heat sink vertically above the
CP-installed socket and make sure to align
the four fasteners with four holes around
the socket.
2. Revolve the four fasteners in the
counter-clockwise direction.
3. Press down two fasteners down in the
oblique crossing direction as shown above.
4. Turn over the motherboard carefully to
make sure the fastener insert in the right
direction.
Notice：
Please apply thermal interface material to the CPU HIS surface;
The heat sink and installation steps are for reference use only; Installation steps
might differ depending on different heat sink models;
Please use Intel original heat sink for better heat dissipation or other heat sinks
that has pass Intel certification.

DIMM4 DDR III 1066/ DDR III1333 X1 4GB
Total System Memory (Max 4GB) 4 16GB
Recommend DIMM Module Combination ：
1. One DDRIII Memory Module ----Plug in DIMMM1.
2. Two DDRIII Memory Modules---Plug in DIMM1 & DIMM 3 for Dual channel function
3. Four DDRIII Memory Modules---Plug in DIMM1 & DIMM 2 & DIMM3 & DIMM4
Dual channel Limited!
1. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1
& DIMM3, or four DIMM Modules plug in DIMM1~DIMM4.
2. Memory modules plugged in the same color DIMM must be of the same type, same
size, and same frequency for dual channel function.
Install DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is not difficult, you can refer to
figure below to see how to install DDRIII 1066/DDRIII 1333 SDRAM module.

IMM2 & DIMM4: Dual Channel
DIMM1 & DIMM3: Dual Channel
NOTE! When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject
tab should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its
indention on both sides.

- 11 -
Installation Tips：
Open the two plastic clips of memory slots then push down the module vertically
into the slot. See to it that the hole of the module fit into the notch of the slot;
The two plastic clips will automatically close if the memory module is fitted in a
proper way.
We suggest that priority given to DIMM1 and DIMM3 in multi-DIMM installation.
System won’t start when you only install memory DIMM in DIMM2 and DIMM4.

on momentary switch that connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power
On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the
ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not come into the system board
until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed. Press this switch again will
turn off the power to the system board.
** We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power
supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin
and 4-pin power plugs.
** If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the
20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit
has a minimum power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may
not boot up if the power is inadequate.
