Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 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. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make

sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic

componentssuchasamotherboard,CPUormemory.IfyoudonothaveanESDwriststrap,

keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

•Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure

the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware

components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

•Donotplacethecomputersystemonanunevensurface.

•Donotplacethecomputersysteminahigh-temperatureorwetenvironment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

•If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation

and/or grounding instructions.

1-3 Installing the CPU

ReadthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstalltheCPU:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

(Go to GIGABYTE’s website for the latest CPU support list.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU

to prevent hardware damage.

•Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate

the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

•DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwiseoverheatinganddamageof

the CPU may occur.

•SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPU specications. It is not recommended that

thesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthestandard

requirementsfortheperipherals.Ifyouwishtosetthefrequencybeyondthestandardspecications,please

dosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecicationsincludingtheCPU,graphicscard,memory,harddrive,etc.

Installing the CPU

Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

Do not remove the CPU socket cover before inserting the CPU. It may pop off from the load

plate automatically during the process of re—engaging the lever after you insert the CPU.

1-4 Installing the Memory

Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallthememory:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same

capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE’s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the

memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

DualChannelMemoryConguration

ThismotherboardprovidesfourmemorysocketsandsupportsDualChannelTechnology.Afterthememory

isinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.EnablingDual

Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

1. DualChannelmodecannotbeenabledifonlyonememorymoduleisinstalled.

2. WhenenablingDualChannelmodewithtwoorfourmemorymodules,itisrecommendedthatmemory

of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

1-5 Installing an Expansion Card

Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallanexpansioncard:

•Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came

with your expansion card.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an

expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

1/2) ATX_12V_2X2/ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2×2, 2×4, 12V Power Connectors and 2×12 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,rst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.

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,

the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high

power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the

required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/2/3/4 (Fan Headers)

All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.

When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is

the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For

optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

•Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from

overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

•Thesefanheadersarenotcongurationjumperblocks.Donotplaceajumpercapontheheaders.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.

ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.

•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.

•@BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet

and updates the BIOS.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,

itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing

may result in system malfunction.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other

unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, try to

cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe»LoadOptimizedDefaults»sectionin

this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
