Installing the Motherboard
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the
chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or
working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier to make all
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.
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system
case covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure
the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers. This will
depend on the system case being used.
Installing the I/O Shield/Cover
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block internal
components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within
the chassis.
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the
chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely.
Also included is an I/O cover. This I/O cover adds a unique appearance to the
I/O area of the motherboard and is completely optional. If you wish to use the
cover, please place it over the I/O area, and install the chassis screws. The
chassis screws are intended to hold the I/O cover down.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case
Most system cases have a base with mounting holes you thread standoffs onto 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 standoff to prevent the
possibility of a short circuit.
Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs located inside the
chassis.
Align the mounting holes with the standoffs.
Align the connectors to the I/O shield and/or I/O cover.
Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to
the fan assembly instruction.
Secure the motherboard with nine (9), or ten (10) screws depending on the
specific board in the series. Ensure that each screw is lined up with and
screwing into the corresponding standoff under the board. Double check
alignment to make sure nothing gets cross-threaded.
See the picture below for a zoomed in view of a hole to use a standoff in as
well as the locations of standoff holes for all boards in the X99 series.

Above, all locations safe to secure the board to a standoff with are
circled in red, and the upper left side of that picture is a zoomed in
view of the hole.
Keep in mind that when the screws are installed but not fully tightened,
the motherboard should have 1-2mm of movement; this can help with
getting cards mounted or other tight tolerance/close fitting cards.

Connecting Cables
This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the
motherboard. This will include:
Power Connections
24pin ATX power (PW1)
EPS 8pin 12V power
Internal Headers
Front Panel connectors (power/reset/LED’s)
Fan Headers (PWM for CPU and DC for case fans )
USB 2.0 Header
USB 3.0 Header
Audio Header
SATA III
Rear I/O Panel
24pin ATX Power (ATX_PWR_24P)
ATX_PWR_24p is the main power supply connector located along the lower
right edge of the board. 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.
The 24pin Power Connector may be standard or right angled depending on
your motherboard model.

EPS 8-pin 12V Power (PWR 8P1)
EPS PWR 8P1, the 8-pin ATX 12V power connections, is used to provide
power to the CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated.
The secondary is optional for improved overclocking. Please remember to
make sure that the tab on the EPS socket is aligned with the release clip on the
cable, because if they are on opposite sides, while it will be able to fit, it is the
incorrect cable and may damage the board, as that is a PCI-E 8pin cable.

Connecting Internal Headers
Front Panel Header
The front panel header on this motherboard is used to
connect the following four cables.
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
powered on, the LED will be on.
Note: Some system cases may not have all four cables. Be sure to match the
name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.
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 onboard
button.
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.
RESET
Attach the Reset switch cable from
the front panel of the case to these
two pins.

USB Headers
This motherboard contains
USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports that are
exposed on the rear panel of
the chassis. The motherboard
also contains 10-pin internal
header connectors onboard
that can be used to connect an
optional external bracket
containing up to four (4) USB
2.0 ports. It also has an
internal header connector for
USB 3.0.
Secure the bracket to either the front or rear panel
of your chassis (not all chassis are equipped with
the front panel option).
Connect the two ends of the cables to the USB 2.0
or 3.0 headers on the motherboard.

Audio
The audio connector supports HD audio standard and provides two kinds of audio
output choices: the Front Audio and the Rear Audio.
PCI-E x16/x8 Slot
This board has a single PCI-E 16x slot. This is specifically for a video card,
however you can place a different card there and use the Intel HD Graphics on the
CPU. When installing a PCI-E Graphics Card, be sure the retention clip snaps and
locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short
across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the
screw used to hold the blank cover.
