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.
,IWKHUHLVSRVVLELOLW\RIDGRSWLQJVRPHPRUHKDUGGULYHVPDNHVXUH\RXUFKDVVLVKDVVXI¿FLHQW
power and space for them.
• Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield

VSHFL¿FDOO\GHVLJQHGIRUWKLVPDLQERDUGLQLWVSDFNDJH
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:
ZLWKVWXGVRUZLWKVSDFHUV
%DVLFDOO\WKHEHVWZD\WRDWWDFKWKHERDUGLVZLWK
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.

2.3 Installation of the CPU and CPU Cooler
%HIRUHLQVWDOOLQJWKH&38SOHDVHFRPSO\ZLWKWKHIROORZLQJFRQGLWLRQV
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.

installing or removing memory modules.
2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
3. Insert the SODIMM module at a 45 degree angle.
4. Push the SODIMM module back towards theboard until the clips
lock the module in place.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the
