Safety information
Electrical safety
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the
electrical outlet before relocating the system.
• When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power
cables for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If
possible, disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add
a device.
• Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure
that all power cables are unplugged.
• Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord.
These devices could interrupt the grounding circuit.
• Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If
you are not sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact
your local power company.
• If the power supply is broken, do not try to x it by yourself. Contact a qualied
service technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
• Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all
the manuals that came with the package.
• Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the
power cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer
immediately.
• To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from
connectors, slots, sockets and circuitry.
• Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in
any area where it may become wet.
• Place the product on a stable surface.
• If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualied
service technician or your retailer.
IMPORTANT: This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that
the product (electrical and electronic equipment) should not be placed
in municipal waste. Check local regulations for disposal of electronic
products.

1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or
to a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.
• Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your
chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.
• Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage
motherboard components.

3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount socket designed for various
processors.
NOTE: Your boxed processor package should come with installation instructions
for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do not
match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
NOTE: Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the socket cap is on
the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately
if the socket cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the socket cap/socket
pins/motherboard components.
NOTE: Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. It is required for product
returns or repairs.
NOTE: The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins resulting
from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal
of the socket cap.
Installling the CPU
1. Locate the CPU socket on the
motherboard.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the socket cap
unless you are installing a CPU.

CPU FAN
Installling the CPU heatsink and fan
The processor require a specially designed heatsink and fan assembly to ensure
optimum thermal condition and performance. When you buy a boxed processor,
the package includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
NOTE: Install the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and
heatsink assembly
NOTE: If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel®-certied
multi-directional heatsink and fan and make sure that a Thermal Interface
Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the
heatsink and fan assembly.
NOTE: Make sure each fastener
is oriented as shown, with the
narrow groove directed outward.

4 System memory
IMPORTANT: Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
Memory types
The motherboard comes with Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMM) sockets.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:
2 1 4 3 6 5
WARNING: Only DDR3 RAM modules can be used on this motherboard.
Memory module rules and congurations
Note: DIMM2 is the socket closest to the CPU and DIMM5 is the socket farthest
from the CPU.
Memory Module Insertion Rule
1. Insert modules starting from the DIMM closest to the CPU.
2. Insert 2GB modules rst, then 1GB modules if both are used.
3. Fill each channel (two sockets) with modules to fully utilize triple channel
performance.
IMPORTANT: One of the blue sockets (DIMM1/3/5) must be populated.

TIP: Support the DIMM lightly with your ngers when pressing the retaining clips.
The DIMM might get damaged when it ips out with extra force.
Installing a DIMM
WARNING: Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to
both the motherboard and the components.
To install a DIMM:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the
retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that
the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket
until the retaining clips snap back
in place and the DIMM is properly
seated.
1. Simultaneously press the retaining
clips outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
NOTE: A DDR3 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it ts in only one direction. Do
not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
NOTE: The DDR3 DIMM sockets do not support non-DDR3 DIMMs.

5 Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following shows the
slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Installing an expansion card
IMPORTANT: Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or
removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury
and damage motherboard components.
To install an expansion card:
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it
and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.

ATX power connectors (24-pin ATXPOWER and 4-pin ATX_CPU)
These connectors are for ATX power supply plugs. The power supply plugs are
designed to t these connectors in only one orientation. Find the proper orientation
and push down rmly until the connectors completely t.
N OTE: Do not forget to connect the 4-pin ATX +12 V power plug; otherwise, the
system will not boot.
NOTE: Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when
conguring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system may
become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
NOTE: Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the
minimum power required by your system.
NOTE: If you intent to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure
that the 20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and that the PSU
has a minimum power rating of 350 W. The system may become unstable or may
not boot up if the power is inadequate.
NOTE: You must install a PSU with a higher power rating if you intend to install
additional devices.
