Introduction

Product Description

The MB950 ATX motherboard offers the latest Socket H (LGA1156)

supporting the Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i5, Core™ i3 processors or the

Intel® Pentium® processor G6950, all developed on Intel’s newest

microarchitecture, formerly codenamed “Nehalem,” and using Intel’s

32nm and 45nm process technologies.

Designed as an enterprise-performance ATX motherboard, the MB950 is

ideal for the latest generation of POS, kiosk, automation and multimedia

applications such as gaming. Based on the Intel® Q57 chipset, the

MB950 supports the processor-integrated graphics to provide two

display streams in combination of the onboard VGA CRT and DVI-D

video interfaces. Up to 16GB of maximum memory can be configured in

four DDR3 socket at 1066/1333MHz.

In addition to the impressive computing performance, the board is

equipped with high-end connectivity comprised of dual Gigabit LAN

controllers, six SATA-II ports, one IDE, fourteen USB 2.0 ports, four

COM ports and high-definition audio. Should greater performance or

expansion be required, add-on cards can be connected to the onboard

PCI-E(x16), PCI-E(x8) [(x4) Link], PCI-E(x1), four PCI, and ISA slot.

INSTALLATIONS

MB950 User’s Manual

Installing the CPU

The MB950 board supports an LGA1156 Socket (shown below) for Intel

Clarkdale processors.

To install the CPU, unlock first the socket by pressing the lever sideways,

then lift it up to a 90-degree. Then, position the CPU above the socket

such that the CPU corner aligns with the gold triangle matching the

socket corner with a small triangle. Carefully insert the CPU into the

socket and push down the lever to secure the CPU. Then, install the heat

sink and fan.

NOTE:

Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in

total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would

cause your system to hang or be unstable.
