Screw HolesWhen you nstall the manboard, you have to place the manboard nto the chasss n thecorrect drecton. The locatons of screws holes on the manboard are shown as below.

Refer above pcture to nstall standos n the approprate locatons on chasss and thenscrew through the manboard screw holes nto the standos.

Important

To prevent damage to the manboard, any contact between the manboard crcut and

chasss or unnecessary standos mounted on the chasss s prohbted.

Please make sure there are no metal components placed on the manboard or wthn

the chasss that may cause short crcut of the manboard.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processng Unt)When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vsthttp://www.ms.com/servce/cpu-support/

Important

Overheatng

Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng

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

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

enhance heat dsspaton.

Replacng the CPU

Whle replacng 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.

Overclockng

Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your

components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any

attempt to operate beyond product speccatons s not recommended. We do not guar-

antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-

catons.

Important

DDR3 memory modules are not nterchangeable wth DDR2, and the DDR3 standard

s not backwards compatble. You should always nstall DDR3 memory modules n

the DDR3 DIMM slots.

In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you nstall memory modules of the same type

and densty n derent channel DIMM slots.

To ensure a successful system boot-up, always nsert the memory modules nto the

DIMM1 rst.

Due to the chpset resource deployment, the system densty wll only be detected up

Important

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system

stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread

Spectrum for EMI reducton.

The greater the Spread Spectrum value s, the greater the EMI s reduced, and thesystem wll become less stable. For the most sutable Spread Spectrum value, please

consult your local EMI regulaton.

Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum f you are overclockng because even a slght
