Preparing the Motherboard Installing the CPU Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges and do not touch the contacts on the motherboard or CPU. Any physical damage to the motherbard pins will void the warranty. Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard: Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket. Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will automatically lift. There is a protective socket cover

Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket. Lower the processor straight down into the socket without tilting or sliding it into the socket Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level. Lower the load plate so it is resting on the Align notches with notches on the CPU CPU. Pull back the socket lever again to ensure the load plate tip engages under the shoulder screw cap. Carefully close and latch the lever. Load plate tip under screw cap Installi

Installing System Memory (DIMMs) Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 256 MB, 512 MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 11 for the location of the memory slots.) One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1. Two DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install

the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first. Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the chassis. Installing the I/O Shield The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard 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 and screws. 1. Carefully place t

24-pin ATX Power (PW1) PW1 is the main power supply connector located along the edge of the board next to the DIMM slots. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure.

Connecting Serial ATA Cables The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial ATA II device to the motherboard. These connectors support the thin Serial ATA II cables for primary storage devices. The current Serial ATA II interface allows up to 300MB/s data transfer rate. There are six (6) internal serial ATA connectors on this motherboard. These connections are designed to be angled to not interfere with any expansions cards. These connection points support RAID 0, RAID 1, an

Connecting Internal Headers Front Panel Header The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the following four cables. (see Table 2 for pin definitions): PWRLED Attach the front panel power LED cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is turned on, the LED is on. When the system is turned off, the LED is off. Note: Some system cases do not have all four cables. Be sure to matc

IEEE1394a (Firewire) This motherboard has one IEEE 1394a onboard header. Alternatively, you can also connect this to your system case (if applicable). 1. Secure the bracket to either the front or rear panel of the system case (not all system cases are equipped with the front panel option). Connect the end of the cable to the IEEE1394a header on the motherboard. Table 3. IEEE 1394a Connector Pins Connector Pin Signal 1 TPA+ IEEE 1394a Connector 2 TPA- 3 GND 10 9 4 GND 8
