Chapter 1 1-1 Hardware Installation Installation Precautions The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures: •• Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard. •• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer.
1-2 Product Specifications APU Memory Onboard Graphics FS1b Socket: - AMD Athlon™ series processors - AMD Sempron™ series processors (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.) 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory * Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed.
Back Panel Connectors 1 x PS/2 keyboard port 1 x PS/2 mouse port 1 x D-Sub port 1 x HDMI port 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports 2 x USB 2.0/1.
1-3 Installing the APU Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the APU: •• Make sure that the motherboard supports the APU. (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest APU support list.) •• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the APU to prevent hardware damage. •• Locate the pin one of the APU. The APU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. •• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the APU.
1-6 Back Panel Connectors PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Port Use the upper port (green) to connect a PS/2 mouse and the lower port (purple) to connect a PS/2 keyboard. D-Sub Port The D-Sub port supports a 15-pin D-Sub connector and supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 (the actual resolutions supported depend on the monitor being used). Connect a monitor that supports D-Sub connection to this port.
Mic In Jack (Pink) The default Mic in jack. Microphones must be connected to this jack. To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver. •• When removing the cable connected to a back panel connector, first remove the cable from your device and then remove it from the motherboard. •• When removing the cable, pull it straight out from the connector.
1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (2x2 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
DEBUG PORT 5) SATA3 0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors) The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. SATA3 1 0 7 1 1 7 Pin No.
7) SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header) This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expansion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards.
10) COM (Serial Port Header) The COM header can provide one serial port via an optional COM port cable. For purchasing the optional COM port cable, please contact the local dealer. 9 10 DEBUG PORT Pin No. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 Definition NDCDNSIN NSOUT NDTRGND Pin No. 6 7 8 9 10 Definition NDSRNRTSNCTSNRINo Pin 11) LPT (Parallel Port Header) The LPT header can provide one parallel port via an optional LPT port cable. For purchasing the optional LPT port cable, please contact the local dealer.
14) BAT (Battery) The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information) in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost. You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery: 1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one minute.
