7 Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard Safety Precautions • • • • • Follow these safety precautions when installing the motherboard Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage from static electricity Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded object before working on the motherboard Leave components in the static-proof bags they came in Hold all circuit boards by the edges.
8 Do not over-tighten the screws as this can stress the motherboard.
9 Checking clear CMOS button The following illustration shows the location of the clear CMOS button. Name Type Description Setting (default) NO PUSH: NORMAL PUSH: CLEAR CLR_CMOS_BTN button CLEAR CMOS Before clearing the CMOS, make sure to turn the system off. CLR_CMOS_BTN To avoid the system unstability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings” and then “Save Changes and Exit”.
10 Installing Hardware Installing the Processor Caution: When installing a CPU heatsink and cooling fan make sure that you DO NOT scratch the motherboard or any of the surfacemount resistors with the clip of the cooling fan. If the clip of the cooling fan scrapes across the motherboard, you may cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components. On most motherboards, there are small surface-mount resistors near the processor socket, which may be damaged if the cooling fan is carelessly installed.
11 CPU Installation Procedure The following illustration shows CPU installation components. 1 2 3 4 5 Install your CPU. Pull up the lever away from the socket and lift up to 90-degree angle. Locate the CPU cut edge (the corner with the pin hold noticeably missing). Align and insert the CPU correctly. Press the lever down and apply thermal grease on top of the CPU. Put the CPU Fan down on the retention module and snap the four retention legs of the cooling fan into place.
12 Installation Procedure Refer to the following to install the memory modules. 1 2 3 4 5 6 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM only. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM slot.

15 Expansion Slots Installing Add-on Cards The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system. PCIE1~2 Slots The PCI Express x1 slots are fully compliant to the PCI Express Gen 2 (version 2.0).
16 Follow these instructions to install an add-on card: 1 2 3 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to use. Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot. Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw.
17 Connecting Optional Devices Refer to the following for information on connecting the motherboard’s optional devices: SATA1~6: Serial ATA connectors These connectors are used to support the new Serial ATA devices for the highest data transfer rates (3.0 Gb/s), simpler disk drive cabling and easier PC assembly. It eliminates limitations of the current Parallel ATA interface. But maintains register compatibility and software compatibility with Parallel ATA.

Pin Pin 1 3 5 7 9 Signal Name Signal Name XTPA1P Pin Signal Name Function XTPA1M 2 4 6 8 10 GND XTPB1P PWR Key GND XTPB1M PWR GND F_AUDIO: Front Panel Audio header This header allows the user to install auxiliary front-oriented microphone and lineout ports for easier access.
19 F_USB1~3: Front Panel USB headers The motherboard has six USB ports installed on the rear edge I/O port array. Additionally, some computer cases have USB ports at the front of the case. If you have this kind of case, use auxiliary USB connector to connect the front-mounted ports to the motherboard.
20 Installing a Hard Disk Drive/CD-ROM/SATA Hard Drive This section describes how to install IDE devices such as a hard disk drive and a CDROM drive. About IDE Devices Your motherboard has one IDE interface. An IDE ribbon cable supporting two IDE devices is bundled with the motherboard. You must orient the cable connector so that the pin1 (color) edge of the cable corresponds to the pin 1 of the I/O port connector.
21 Refer to the illustration below for proper installation: 1 2 3 Attach either cable end to the connector on the motherboard. Attach the other cable end to the SATA hard drive. Attach the SATA power cable to the SATA hard drive and connect the other end to the power supply. This motherboard supports the “Hot-Plug” function.
22 Connecting I/O Devices The backplane of the motherboard has the following I/O ports: VGA Port Connect your monitor to the VGA port. DVI Port Use the DVI port to connect the monitor. HDMI Port Connect the HDMI port to the HDMI devices. 1394A Port Use the 1394a port to connect any 1394a device. USB Ports Use the USB ports to connect USB devices. ESATA Ports Use this port to connect to an external SATA box or a Serial ATA port multiplier.
23 Connecting Case Components After you have installed the motherboard into a case, you can begin connecting the motherboard components. Refer to the following: 1 Connect the CPU cooling fan cable to CPU_FAN. 2 Connect the standard power supply connector to ATX_POWER. 3 Connect the power cooling fan connector to PWR_FAN. 4 Connect the case switches and indicator LEDs to the F_PANEL. 5 Connect the system cooling fan connector to SYS_FAN. 6 Connect the auxiliary case power supply connector to ATX12V.
24 Connecting 8/4-pin power cable Users please note that the 8-pin and 4-pin power cables can both be connected to the ATX12V connector. When installing 8-pin power cable, the latches of power cable and the ATX12V match perfectly. 8-pin power cable When installing 4-pin power cable, the latch falls on the left side of the ATX12V connector.
