Chapter 2 Hardware Setup
2.1 Choosing a Computer Chassis
• Choose a chassis big enough to install this mainboard.
• As some features for this mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard
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 mainboard. You can nd an I/O shield
specically designed for this mainboard in its package.
2.2 Installing Mainboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the mainboard to be
securely attached, and at the same time, prevent
the system from short circuits. There are two ways
to attach the mainboard 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 mainboard:
1. Locate all the screw holes on the mainboard and the chassis base.
2. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.
3. Face the mainboard’s I/O ports toward the chassis’s rear panel.
4. Line up all the mainboard’s screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis.
5. Install the mainboard with screws and have them tightened.

2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler
Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the mainboard supports the CPU.
2. Please take note of the one indented corner of the CPU. If you install the CPU in the wrong
direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of
the CPU.
3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and CPU cooler.
4. Please make sure the CPU cooler is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise
overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.
5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specications. It is not
recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications since it
does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency
beyond the proper specications, please do so according to your hardware specications
including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
2.3.1 Installation of the CPU
1. Unlock the socket by pressing the
lever sideways, then lift it up to a 90
o
.
2. Position the CPU above the socket such that
the CPU corner with the gold triangle matches
the socket corner with a small triangle.
3. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it
ts place.
4. When the CPU is in
place, push down the
socket lever to secure
the CPU.
The lever clicks on the
side tab to indicate that
it is locked.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules
This mainboard provides two 1.5v DDR3 DIMM slots, which supports dual channel memory
technology. To activate the dual channel conguration, you need to install two identical
(same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules into these DIMM slots. Otherwise
the memory will only operate at single channel mode.
For dual channel DDR3 installation:
Populate two DDR3 DIMM modules of the same type and size into slots [DIMM1] + [DIMM2].
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.
2.3.2 Installation of the CPU Cooler
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU Cooler.
