Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis
• Choose a chassis big enough to install this Motherboard.
• As some features for this Motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the
Motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis
supports all the features required.
• If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has
sufcient power and space for them.
• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O
shield of the chassis matches the I/O port conguration of this Motherboard. You can nd
an I/O shield specically designed for this Motherboard in its package.
2.2 Installing Motherboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the Motherboard to
be securely attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There
are two ways to attach the Motherboard to the
chassis base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers.
Basically, the best way to attach the board is with
studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you
attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on
the board with the mounting holes on the chassis.
If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you
can attach the board with studs. If the holes line
up and there are only slots, you can only attach with
spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them
into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned
with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before
putting the chassis back on.
To install this Motherboard:
1. Locate all the screw holes on the Motherboard and the chassis base.
2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.
3. Face the Motherboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.
4. Line up all the Motherboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis.
5. Install the Motherboard with screws and have them tightened.
The Motherboard and its component layouts illustrated in this chapter were
based mainly on model “A75 Series”, unless specically stated.
Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing
any peripheral or component. Failing to do so may cause severe damage to your
Motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully
checked everything.
To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they are
already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the Motherboard
to

Installation of APU and APU fan
Please pay extra attention to the golden triangular mark on the APU should match with the
same corner as the white triangular mark of the socket during installation, as illustrated below:
Socket FM1 FM1 APU
APU Installation Procedure as following:
1. Locate the FM1 socket on
the motherboard, then press
the lever sideways to unlock
the socket, and lift it up to a
90°-120° angle.
2. Carefully insert the APU into
the socket so that the golden
triangular mark matches with
the triangular mark on the
socket. Push the socket lever
down until it clicks on the side
tab to lock the APU in position.
3. Apply adequate amount of
thermal grease so that it forms
an EVEN and THIN layer on the
APU.
4. Attach one end of the fan
retention bracket to the base of
the retention module.
5. Attach the other end of the
fan retention bracket to the
other side of the base, you
should hear a "click" sound
when installed properly.
6. Lock the APU fan in position
by pushing the retention lock
in a clockwise direction. (For
details, please refer to the
cooler installation guide that
comes with your APU.)
7. Double-check to make sure
the fan-sink has been installed
properly. After that, connect
the fan power cable to the
connector on the motherboard
which labelled as "CFAN".

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules
This Motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRIII (Double Data Rate) DIMM slots, and
supports
Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install
two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDRIII
DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single
channel mode.
One DIMM:Install one memory module into DIMM 1 or DIMM 2 rst as a single-channel
operation.
Two DIMMs (dual-channel operation):
Install two memory modules into DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 or DIMM 2 and DIMM 4 rst as a dual-
channel operation.
Four DIMMs (dual-channel operation):
Install four memory modules into DIMM 1 and DIMM 2 and DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 rst as a
dual-channel operation.
To install system memory:
1. Power off the computer and unplug the
AC power cord before installing or
removing memory modules.
2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module
carefully, keep away from touching its
connectors.
4. Align the notch key on the module with
the rib on the slot.
5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot
automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra
force as the DIMM module only ts in one direction.
6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional
boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by touching a grounded metal object briey.
