Screw Holes
When you nstall the manboard, you have to place the manboard nto the chasss n the
correct drecton. The locatons of screws holes on the manboard are shown as below.
Refer above pcture to nstall stando󰘯s n the approprate locatons on chasss and then
screw through the manboard screw holes nto the stando󰘯s.
Important
To prevent damage to the manboard, any contact between the manboard crcut and
chasss or unnecessary stando󰘯s mounted on the chasss s prohbted.
Please make sure there s no metal components placed on the manboard or wthn
the chasss that may cause short crcut of the manboard.

CPU (Central Processng Unt)
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.
For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vst http://www.ms.com/servce/cpu-sup-

Important
Overheatng
Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng
fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to
enhance heat dsspaton.
Replacng the CPU
Whle replacng the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the ATX power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet 󰘰rst to ensure the safety of CPU.
Overclockng
Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any
attempt to operate beyond product spec󰘰catons s not recommended. We do not guar-
antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-
