Environmental Safety Instruction

zAvoid the dusty, humidity and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any

area where it may become wet.

z0 to 40 centigrade is the suitable temperature. (The figure comes from the request of

the main chipset)

zGenerally speaking, dramatic changes in temperature may lead to contact malfunction

and crackles due to constant thermal expansion and contraction from the welding

spots’ that connect components and PCB. Computer should go through an adaptive

phase before it boots when it is moved from a cold environment to a warmer one to

avoid condensation phenomenon. These water drops attached on PCB or the surface

of the components can bring about phenomena as minor as computer instability

resulted from corrosion and oxidation from components and PCB or as major as short

circuit that can burn the components. Suggest starting the computer until the

temperature goes up.

zThe increasing temperature of the capacitor may decrease the life of computer. Using

the close case may decrease the life of other device because the higher temperature in

the inner of the case.

zAttention to the heat sink when you over-clocking. The higher temperature may

decrease the life of the device and burned the capacitor.

Hardware Installation

WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or

other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe

damage to both your motherboard and expansion cards.

2-1 CPU Installation

This motherboard provides an 1156-pin DIP, LGA 1156 Land Grid Array socket,

referred to as the LGA 1156 socket.

The CPU that comes with the motherboard should have a cooling FAN attached to

prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then purchase a correct cooling FAN

before you turn on your system.

NOTED! Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s

heat sink and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it

may cause the processor and motherboard overheat and damage,

you may install an auxiliary cooling FAN, if necessary.

To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the LGA

1156 socket and open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then

upward to a 135-degree angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown

below. The notched corner should point toward the end of the level. Because the

CPU has a corner pin for two of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation

as shown.

When you install the CPU into the LGA 1156 socket, there’s no force required CPU

insertion; then press the level to locate position slightly without any extra force.

(1) Power Connector (24-pin block): ATXPWR1

ATX Power Supply connector: This is a new defined 24-pins connector that

usually comes with ATX case. The ATX Power Supply allows using soft power

on momentary switch that connect from the front panel switch to 2-pins Power

On jumper pole on the motherboard. When the power switch on the back of the

ATX power supply turned on, the full power will not come into the system board

until the front panel switch is momentarily pressed. Press this switch again will

turn off the power to the system board.

** We recommend that you use an ATX 12V Specification 2.0-compliant power

supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 350W power rating. This type has 24-pin

and 4-pin power plugs.

** If you intend to use a PSU with 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs, make sure that the

20-pin power plug can provide at least 15A on +12V and the power supply unit

has a minimum power rating of 350W. The system may become unstable or may

not boot up if the power is inadequate.
