WARNING!
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: Installing Processor and CPU Haet Sink
Before installing the processor and cooling fan, adhere to the following cautions:
1. The processor will overheat without the heatsink and/or fan, resulting in permanent
irreparabledamage.
2. Never force the processor into the socket.
3. Apply thermal grease on the processor before placing cooling fan.
4. Please make sure the CPU type is supported by the motherboard.
5. 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.
Step1-1: Installing CPU
Step 1 Gently lift the metal lever located on the CPU socket to the upper-right position.
Step 2 Remove the plastic covering on the CPU socket.
Step 3 Align the indented corner of the CPU with the triangle and gently insert the CPU into position.
(Grasping the CPU firmly between your thumb and forefinger, carefully place it into the socket
in a straight and downwards motion. Avoid twisting or bending motions that might cause
damage to the CPU during installation.)
Step 4 Once the CPU is properly inserted, please replace the plastic covering and push the metal
lever back into its original position.
Step 5 Close the lever, reverse step 1 & 2.

Please apply heatsink paste on the surface of
the installed CPU.
( to remove the heatsink, turning the push pin along
the direction of arrow; and reverse the previous
step to install the heat sink.)
Please note the direction of arrow sign on the male
push pin doesn't face inwards before installation.
(This instruction is only for Intel boxed fan)
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
Place the heatsink on top the CPU and make
sure the push pins align to the pin hole on the
motherboard.Push down the push pins
diagonally.
Please make sure the Male and Female push pin
are brought together. (for detailed installation
instructions, please refer to the heatsink installation
section of the user manual)
Fig. 6
Fig. 5
Attach the power connector of the heatsink to the
CPU fan header located on the motherboard.
Please check the back side of teh motherboard.
Make sure the push pin is seated firmly as the
picture shown. Installation completed.

Step 2: Install memory modules
Before installing the processor and heatsink, adhere to the following warning:
When DIMM LED is ON, do not install/remove DIMM from socket.
GA-4MXSV has 4 dual inline memory module (DIMM) socets. It supports the Dual Channel Technology.
The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size during system boot. For detail DIMM
installation, please refer to the following instructions.

Installation Steps:
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outwards.
2. Aling a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM exactly match the notches in the
socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMMinto the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place.
4. When installing the DIMM into the DIMM socket, we recommend to populate one DIMM in
Channel A module and one in Channel B module for best performance.
Please note that each logical DIMM must be made of two identical DIMMs having the same
device size on each and the same DIMM size.
5. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.

Step 3: Install expansion cards
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before install the expansion card into
thecomputer.
2. Remove your server’s chassis cover, necessary screws and slot bracket from the computer.
3. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in motherboard.
4. Be sure the metal contacts on the card are indeed seated in the slot.
5. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
6. Replace your computer’s chassis cover.
7. Power on the computer, if necessary, setup BIOS utility of expansion card from BIOS.
8. Install related driver from the operating system.
