This chapter provides you with the information about

hardware setup procedures. While performing the instal-

lation, be careful in holding the components and follow-

ing the installation procedures. For some components, if

you install in the wrong orientation, the components will

not work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer

components. Static electricity may damage the compo-

nents.

Screw Holes

When you install the mainboard, you have to place the mainboard into the chassis in the

correct direction. The locations of screws holes on the mainboard are shown as below.

Refer above picture to install stando󰘯s in the appropriate locations on chassis and then

screw through the mainboard screw holes into the stando󰘯s.

Important

To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuit and

chassis or unnecessary stando󰘯s mounted on the chassis is prohibited.

Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the mainboard or within

the chassis that may cause short circuit of the mainboard.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating.

If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling

fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply

an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to

enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn o󰘯 the ATX power supply or unplug the power

supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet 󰘰rst to ensure the safety of CPU.

Overclocking

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speci󰘰cations is not recommended. We do not guar-

antee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation or beyond product speci-

󰘰cations.

CPU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top

to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU

before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will

cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before

you install CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin. Romove the cap.

Open the load level.

Lift the load lever up to fully open position.

After con󰘰rming the CPU direction for correct mating, put down the CPU in the

socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp on the edge of the CPU base. Note that the

alignment keys are matched.

with pure vertical motion and rein-

stall.

Visually inspect if the CPU is seated well into the socket. If not, take out the CPU 5.

Engage the load lever while pressing

down lightly onto the load plate.

6. Secure the lever near the hook end

under the retention tab.

Make sure the four hooks are in por-

per position before you install the

cooler.

8. Align the holes on the mainboard with

the heatsink. Push down the cooler

until its four clips get wedged into the

holes of the mainboard.

Important

Con󰘰rm if your CPU cooler is 󰘰rmly installed before turning on your system.

Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.
