Hardware Setup 1.3 Choosing a Computer Chassis Choose a chassis big enough to install this motherboard. As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the features required. If there is possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has sufficient power and space for them. Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield

Hardware Setup CMOS Backup Battery: An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five years. Once the error message like “CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED” or “CMOS checksum error” displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to be renewed. To renew the backup battery: 1. Power off the system and disconnect with AC p

1.6 Connecting Chassis Components 1.6.1 ATX Power Connectors These connectors provide the connection from an ATX power supply. As the plugs from the power supply fit in only one orientation, find the correct one and push firmly down into these connectors. ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: The power supply with 20-pin or 24-pin cables can both be connected to this 24-pin connector. Connect from pin-1 for either type. However, a 20-pin power supply may cause the system unstable or eve

Hardware Setup 1.7 Installing Hardware ※ DO NOT scratch the motherboard when installing hardware. An accidentally scratch of a tiny surface-mount component may seriously damage the motherboard. ※ In order to protect the contact pins, please pay attention to these notices: 1. A maximum 20 cycles of CPU installation is recommended. 2. Never touch the contact pins with fingers or any object. 3. Always put on the cap when the CPU is not in use. 1.7.1 CPU Socket 775 ※ The installatio
