Notice  
Please do not remove any labels on motherboard, this may void the warranty of this motherboard.

Preparing Your Computer  
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To  
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you  
work on your computer.  
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.  
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one,  
touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power  
supply case.  
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other  
components.  
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components  
whenever the components are separated from the system.  
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power  
connector on the motherboard.  
Installing the motherboard to the chassis  
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there  
are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the  
mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so  
be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying  
about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the  
motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the  
screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it  
may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Step 1: Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)  
Before installing the processor, adhere to the following warning:  
1. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.  
2. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent  
irreparable damage.  
3. If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it will cause improper  
installation. Please change the insert orientation.  
4. Apply thermal grease between the processor and cooling fan.  
5. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly attached. Permanent  
damage will result.  
6. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with your processor's specifications.  
We don't recommend you to set the system bus frequency over the CPU's specification  
because these specific bus frequencies are not the standard specifications for CPU,  
chipset and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under these specific  
bus frequencies properly will depend on your hardware configurations, including CPU,  
Memory, Cards…etc.

1/2) ATX_12V / ATX (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, please make sure that  
all components and devices are properly installed. Align the power connector with its proper  
location on the motherboard and connect tightly. The ATX_12V power connector mainly supplies  
power to the CPU. If the ATX_12V power connector is not connected, the system will not start.  
Caution! Please use a power supply that is able to handle the system voltage requirements. It is  
recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (300W or  
greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead  
to an unstable system or a system that is unable to start.

component and OS) will effect the result. For example, the same H/W configuration might not run  
properly with Windows XP, but works smoothly with Windows NT. Therefore, if your system is not  
perform enough, the reliability or stability problem will appear sometimes, and we will recommend you  
disabling the option to avoid the problem as mentioned above.
