·
The motherboard consists of a great number of ICs and other components. These
ICs might be damaged by the static charge. Therefore, the user must make the
following preparations before installation:
Turn off the power of the computer. It is preferable the power cord be unplugged.
Take care not to contact the metal wires and theirs joints on the motherboard
when handling it.
It is preferable that the operator wear the anti-static wrist strap when handling
the IC components.
Before the ICs are installed, the components of the motherboard should be
placed on the anti-static mat or bag.
When you remove the plug on the ATX power supply of the motherboard,
make sure the switch of the power supply is in OFF state.
Installing the motherboard onto the computer case:
For most of the computer cases, the multiple fixing holes left on their bottoms can
be used for securing the motherboard and preventing short circuit. During your
operation, take care not to allow the screws to contact any circuit or part on PCB.
When circuits on the surface of the motherboard get close to the fixing holes,
you can use the plastic sheet to separate the screws from the board surface so
as to avoid damage or failure of the motherboard.

2.1. Installing CPU
· Find LGA1155 CPU Socket on the mother board, as shown in Fig 2.1.1
· Pull up the lever at the side of socket to about 160 degrees angle, and then
pull up the CPU metal shell to about 110 degrees with the socket (ie fully open),
as shown in Fig 2.1.2

2.2. Installing CPU FAN
Only with the desired cooling effect, CPU can play the ultimate performance.
Intel LGA1155 CPU has been specially designed cooling fan to keep the best
cooling effect, as shown in Figure 2.7, is one of the samples.
NOTE: If you've bought a bulk Intel LGA1155 processor, be sure to use the FAN
which certified by Intel.
1. Put the cooling fan at the top of the processor, and align the fours fan holders
to the holes on motherboard.
2. Press in the holders to motherboard in proper order, to ensure fan is close
contact with the CPU.
3. Finally, plug the CPU fan power cable into the socket on the motherboard.

· Uncover the contact pin protect cover, as shown in Fig 2.1.3
· Input the CPU carefully, make sure the contact pins in socket and contact lands
on CPU are matched. Close the cover, as shown in Fig 2.1.4
· Then you need to lock down the socket lever while gently press the metal
shell with your fingers. When lock process has been complete, you will heard
a crisp sound.

3. Install expansion slot card
3.1 Install graphic card
This motherboard provides one interface slot for PCIE 16x AGP. When you install
the PCIE graphic card, you should note that groove of the golden finger must be
exactly engaged into the interface slot. In that process, it is preferable that you
are in grounded state, and you should carefully take out the graphic card from the
anti-static bag. Then align the graphic card to the PCIE slot and insert it. After
that, tighten the screw on the metal baffle.
2.3. Installing Memory
Please install the memory in accordance with the following procedures:
1.Remove the white buckle at the two ends of the interface slot for the memory;
2.Align the golden finger of the memory to the groove of the interface slot and
pay attention the concave hole of golden finger should be aligned to the convex
point of the slot.
3. Finally, insert the memory into the interface slot gently. If no error occurs at the
moment, insert the card forward in the slot till the white buckle is automatically
engaged in the concave hole at the two sides of the memory.
Note
In order to avoid damages to the motherboard or the components, the user must
make sure the power supply to the computer is turned off before the memory or
other component is installed or removed. As the groove is set at the golden
finger of the DDR DIMM, the memory can only be inserted into the slot with one
direction. During installation, the user only needs to align the golden finger and
the dual-channel groove of the interface slot and insert it gently. To avoid damage,
never apply excessive force in that process.
