FCC-B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digi-
tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful inter-
ference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment o󰘯 and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the measures listed below.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit di󰘯erent from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
Notice 1
The changes or modi󰘰cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice 2
Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply
with the emission limits.

Screw Holes
When you install the mainboard, you have to place the mainboard into the chassis in the
correct direction. The locations of screws holes on the mainboard are shown as below.
Refer above picture to install stando󰘯s in the appropriate locations on chassis and then
screw through the mainboard screw holes into the stando󰘯s.
Important
To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuit and
chassis or unnecessary stando󰘯s mounted on the chassis is prohibited.
Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the mainboard or within
the chassis that may cause short circuit of the mainboard.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)
When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.
For the latest information about CPU, please visit
http://www.msi.com/service/cpu-support
Important
Overheating
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling
fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to
enhance heat dissipation.
Replacing the CPU
While replacing 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.
Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any
attempt to operate beyond product speci󰘰cations is not recommended. We do not guar-
antee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product speci-
󰘰cations.

CPU & Cooler Installation
When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will
cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.
Open the load level.
1. Lift the load lever up to fully open po-
sition.
2.
The CPU socket has a plastic cap on
it to protect the contact from damage.
Before you install CPU, always cover
it to protect the socket pin. Remove
the cap (as the arrow shows).
3. After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for
correct mating, put down the CPU in
the socket housing frame. Be sure to
grasp on the edge of the CPU base.
Note that the alignment keys are
matched.

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated
well into the socket. If not, take out
the CPU with pure vertical motion
and reinstall.
5. Engage the load lever while pressing
down lightly onto the load plate.
6.
Secure the lever near the hook end
under the retention tab.
7. Make sure the four hooks are in por-
per position before you install the
cooler.

Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic
cap covered (shown in Figure 1) to avoid damaging.
Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/ cooler in-
stallation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model
you purchase.
Please refer to the documentation in the CPU fan package for more details about the
CPU fan installation.

Align the holes on the mainboard with
the heatsink. Push down the cooler
until its four clips get wedged into the
holes of the mainboard.
9. Press the four hooks down to fasten
the cooler.
10.
Turn over the mainboard to con󰘰rm
that the clip-ends are correctly in-
serted.

Dual-Channel mode Population Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two
data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel
mode.

DIMM2
Important
DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard
is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in di󰘯erent channel DIMM slots.
Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up
to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 8GB memory module.
