Preparing the Motherboard  
Installing the CPU  
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by the edges  
and do not touch the bottom of the processor.  
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard.  
1. Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.  
2. Lift the load plate. There is a protective socket cover on the load plate to  
protect the socket when there is no CPU installed.  
3. Remove the protective socket cover from the load plate.  
4. Remove the processor from its protective cover, making sure you hold it  
only by the edges.  
It is a good idea to save the cover so that whenever you remove the CPU,  
you have a safe place to store it.  
5. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.  
6. Lower the processor straight down into the socket with out tilting or sliding  
it into the socket  
Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level in the socket.  
Align notches with  
notches on the CPU  
7. Close the load plate over the CPU and press down while you close and engage  
the socket lever.  
Installing the CPU heat sink/fan  
There are many different heat sink types that can be used with this motherboard. Follow the  
instruction that came with your fan assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct for  
your chassis type and your fan assembly.  
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)  
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots support  
256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 technologies. There must be at least one memory  
bank populated to ensure normal operation.  
*Any of the two DIMM slots may be used as primary if only using one memory module.  
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.  
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the  
DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the  
DIMM into the connector.  
Installing the Motherboard  
The sequence of installing the motherboard into the chassis depends on the chassis you are  
using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty chassis.  
Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the  
motherboard and then make all the connections.  
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the  
chassis.  
Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the chassis covers to lock  
into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure the CPU Fan assembly is aligned  
with the vents on the covers.  
Installing the I/O Shield  
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency  
transmissions, protects internal components from dust, foreign objects, and promotes  
correct airflow within the chassis.  
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press  
the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely. If the I/O shield does not fit into  
the chassis, you would need to obtain the proper size from the chassis supplier.  
Securing the Motherboard into a System Case  
Most computer chassis have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the  
motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are  
studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that  
you remove that stud to prevent the possibility of a short circuit.  
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the studs/spacers located inside the chassis.  
2. Align the mounting holes with the studs/spacers.  
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.  
4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan  
assembly instruction.  
5. Secure the motherboard with a minimum of six screws.  
Power Connections  
This motherboard requires an ATX power supply. Make sure your power supply can  
provide enough wattage to power all the components you will be installing.  
24-pin ATX Power (PWR1)  
PWR1 is the main power supply connector located along the edge of the board next to the  
DIMM slots. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the  
connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and  
make sure it is secure.  
PWR1 connector  
Plug power cable  
from system power  
supply to PWR1  
8-pin ATX 12V Power (PWR2)  
PWR2, the 4-Pin ATX 12V power connection, is used to provide power to the CPU. Align  
the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated. The connection is notched and will  
only fit in one way.  
FDD Connector  
The motherboard supports a standard 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44m, and a 2.88M floppy disk  
drive (FDD).  
Connecting IDE Hard Disk Drives  
The IDE connector supports Ultra ATA  
133/100/66 IDE hard disk drives.  
Connect the cable end with a single connector to the  
motherboard.  
If you install two hard disk drives, you must configure the second  
drive as a slave device by setting its jumper accordingly. Refer to  
the hard disk documentation for the jumper settings.  
Connecting Serial ATA Cables  
                                             
                                                            
The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial  
ATA II device to the motherboard. These connectors support  
the thin Serial ATA II cables for primary storage devices. The  
current Serial ATA II interface allows up to 300MB/s data  
transfer rate.  
There are four serial ATA connectors on the motherboard. These  
connectors support RAID 0, RAID 1.  
Connecting Internal Headers  
Please refer to #9 of in the table of Figure 1. e-7010/610i Motherboard  
Layout for the location of the Front Panel Headers.  
Front Panel Header  
The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to  
connect the following four cables:  
PWRLED  
Attach the front panel power LED cable to the PWR LED connector. The Power LED  
indicates the system’s status.  
PWRSW  
Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins. Pressing the powerbutton  
on the front panel turns the system on off rather than using the power supply button.  
HD_LED  
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The HDD indicator  
LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.  
RESET  
Attach the Reset switch cable from the front panel of the case to these two pins. The  
system restarts when the RESET switch is pressed.  
Note: Some chassis do not have all four cables. Be sure to match  
the name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.  
USB Headers  
The motherboard contains 10-pin internal USB header connector(s).  
These can be used for a front panel USB connection or USB bracket.  
Audio  
The audio connector supports the HD audio standard. Most cases come with a 10 pin  
standard block which will align and plug directly in to the header. In some cases there will  
be individual plugs which will need to be plugged in.

Fan Connections  
There are two types fan connections, the system fan and the CPU fan. The fan speed can be  
detected and viewed in the PC Health Status section of the CMOS Setup. Both fans are  
automatically turned off after the system enters S3, S4 and S5 mode.  
CPU Fan Connector  
Note that the CPU fan cable can be  
either a 3-pin or a 4-pin connector.  
Connect a 3-pin connector to pins 1, 2,  
and 3 on the motherboard connector.

Expansion Slots  
The EVGA nForce motherboard contains four expansion slots, two PCI Express slots and  
two PCI slots.  
PCI Slots  
The two PCI slots support many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card  
and other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing a card into the PCI  
slot, be sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel  
with the screw used to hold the blank cover.  
PCI Express x1 Slot  
There is one PCI Express x1 slot that is designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive  
cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.  
PCI Express x16 Slot  
The PCI Express x16 slot is reserved for a graphics card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is  
up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent). When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the  
retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could  
cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with  
the screw used to hold the blank cover.  
Install your Operating System  
Boot up your machine, setup any hardware configurations within the BIOS setup if needed.  
Boot from your OS disk. Once your operating system is installed use the provided driver  
disk to install the appropriate drivers.
