Introduction
Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components
or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical dis-
charge can damage computer components without causing any signs of physical
damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electro-
static build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag
until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the compo-
nents, contacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold
modules or connectors by their ends.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and
other components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described
at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and
attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is
unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis
throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
Safety Measures
To avoid damage to the system:
• UsethecorrectACinputvoltagerange.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for instal-
lation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis
before plugging the power cord.
Battery:
• Dangerofexplosionifbatteryincorrectlyreplaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufac-
turer.
• Disposeofusedbatteriesaccordingtolocalordinance.

Introduction
Features
DDR3
DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. It offers
peak data transfer rate of up to 21 Gb/s bandwidth. The advantages of DDR3
are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than
DDR2.
Graphics
The Intel northbridge chip comes integrated with the Intel Graphics Media Accel-
erator X4500 delivering 3D, 2D and video capabilities. With support for Microsoft
DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1, Intel GMA X4500 delivers excellent video and 3D
graphics with outstanding graphics responsiveness. These enhancements deliver
the performance and compatibility needed for today’s and tomorrow’s business
applications.
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to
scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x1 PCI Express lane supports trans-
fer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second. The PCI Express architecture
also provides a high performance graphics infrastructure by enhancing the capa-
bility of a x16 PCI Express lane to provide 4 Gigabytes per second transfer rate.
S/PDIF
S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio sig-
nals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This
prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT
machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board
sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers
and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.
Serial ATA
Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.
With speed of up to 3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the
standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

Introduction
Gigabit LAN
The Realtek RTL8111C PCI Express Gigabit controller supports up to 1Gbps data
transmission.
USB
The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/
second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a
wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.

Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, processor,
disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the upgrade
instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only. If such a
station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing
an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system
chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact
with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD pro-
tection.
DIMM 1
DIMM 2
The DIMM sockets support DDR3 memory modules. It supports dual channel
memory interface.
16
2Hardware Installation
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or com-
pletely different. However, we highly recommend
using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
DIMMs of the same memory conguration are
on different channels.
Single Channel
Dual Channel
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual
channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer
rate.

Hardware Installation
Note:
The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble
the actual board. These illustrations are for reference only.
Installing the DIM Module
1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been
powered down.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. Locate the DIMM socket on the system board.
4. Push the “ejector tabs” which are at the ends of the socket to the side.

7. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down rmly until it is completely seat-
ed in the socket.
6. Grasping the module by its edges, position the module above the socket with
the “notch” in the module aligned with the “key” on the socket. The keying
mechanism ensures the module can be plugged into the socket in only one
way.
8. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the
locked position to hold the module in place.

CPU
The system board is equipped with a surface mount LGA 775 socket. This socket
is exclusively designed for installing a LGA 775 packaged Intel CPU.
Important:
1. Before you proceed, make sure (1) the LGA775 socket comes with a
protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s con-
tact pins are not bent. If the cap is missing or the cap and/or contact
pins are damaged, contact your dealer immediately.
2. Make sure to keep the protective cap. RMA requests will be accepted
and processed only if the LGA775 socket comes with the protective
cap.
Installing the CPU
1. Make sure the PC and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been
powered down.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. Locate the LGA 775 CPU
socket on the system
board.
Important:
The CPU socket must not
come in contact with any-
thing other than the CPU.
Avoid unnecessary expo-
sure. Remove the protec-
tive cap only when you are
about to install the CPU.

4. The CPU socket comes
with a removable protec-
tive cap. The cap is used
to protect the CPU socket
against dust and harm-
ful particles. Remove the
protective cap only when
you are about to install the
CPU.
Protective cap
5. To remove the protective
cap, lift the cap on the lo-
cation pointed on the right
photo.

6. Unlock the socket by push-
ing the load lever down,
moving it sideways until it
is released from the reten-
tion tab; then lift it up.
