Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you

work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or

other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove theATX

power connector on the motherboard.

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are

no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting

holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful

of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short

circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard

PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact

any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the

board or cause board malfunctioning.

Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor’s specifications.

We don’t recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU’s specification

because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,

chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific

bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,

Chipsets,SDRAM,Cards….etc.

English

To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:

Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 2- Install memory modules

Step 3- Install expansion cards

Step 4- Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply

Step 5- Setup BIOS software

Step 6- Install supporting software tools

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Step 1-1 : CPU Installation

Pin1 indicator Pin1 indicator

CPU Top View CPU Bottom View

Socket Actuation Lever

1. Pull up the CPU socket lever

and up to 90-degree angle.

Pin1 indicator

2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look

for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU

upper corner. Then insert the CPU

into the socket.

3. Press down the CPU socket

lever and finish CPU installation.



Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.



If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause

improper installation. Please change the insert orientation.

Step 1-2: CPU Heat Sink Installation

1. Hook one end of the cooler

bracket to the CPU socket first.

2. Hook the other end of the

cooler bracket to the CPU

socket.



Please use Intel approved cooling fan.



We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat

conduction between your CPU and heatsink.

(The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the

thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you

might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and

might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to

either use thermal tape instead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with

extreme caution.)



Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,

this completes the installation.



Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation

procedure.

Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the one

notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change

the insert orientation.

DDR

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the

DIMMmemory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the

DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots

to lock the DIMM module.

Reverse the installation steps when you wish to

remove the DIMM module.

Step 2: Install memory modules

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically

detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot

.The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between

sockets.
