contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television 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 determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA
- INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER
- CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE RECEIVER

Intel X58 Motherboard
Before You Begin…
Parts NOT in the Kit
This kit contains all the hardware necessary to install and connect your new Intel®X58
motherboard. However, it does not contain the following items that must be purchased
separately to make the motherboard functional.
qIntel®Core i7 Series CPU
qCooling fan for the microprocessor
qSystem memory
qGraphics Card
These instructions tell you how to install each of the parts listed so you can have
a functioning motherboard. As you go through the installation instructions, we are
assuming you have purchased the necessary parts.
Intentions of the Kit
This kit provides you with the motherboard and all connecting cables necessary to
install the motherboard into a PC cabinet. If you are building a PC, you will use most
of the cables provided in the kit. If however, you are replacing a motherboard, you will
not need many of the cables.
When replacing a motherboard in a PC cabinet, you will need to reinstall an operating
system even though the current drives have an operating system.

Intel X58 Motherboard
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the
motherboard. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This
slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed
properly.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into
the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock
the DIMM into the connector.

make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the
covers.

Securing the Motherboard into the Chassis
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the
mother board to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits.
If there are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is
recommended that you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit. In
most cases, it is recommended to secure the motherboard using a minimum of nine(9)
spacers.
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the
chassis.
2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.
4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the
fan assembly instruction.
5. Secure the motherboard with a minimum of eight-to-ten screws.

The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the
following four cables
q PWRLED
Attach the front panel power LED cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power
LED indicates the system’s status.
Note: Some chassis do not have all four cables. Be sure to match the name on
the connectors to the corresponding pins.
q PWRSW
Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the
power button on the front panel turns the system on and off rather than using the
power supply button.
q HD_LED
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD
indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.
