2-1 Install the CPU and CPU Cooler

Install the CPULocate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU :■ MakesurethatthemotherboardsupportstheCPU.■ Alwaysturnoffthecomputerandunplugthepowercordfromthepowersupply before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.■ LocatethepinoneoftheCPU.TheCPUcannotbeinsertediforiented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)■ ApplyanevenandthinlayerofthermalgreaseonthesurfaceoftheCPU.■ DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.■SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecifications.Itisnot recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specificationssinceitdoesnotmeetthestandardrequirementsforthe peripherals.Ifyouwishtosetthefrequencybeyondthestandardspecifications, pleasedosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecificationsincludingtheCPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

Follow the steps to install the CPU onto the CPU socket :

Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

2.LiftthemetalcoverontheCPUsocket.

5. Remove protective socket cover.

4.WhenCPU is properly seated,replace the metal cover and push the CPU socket lever back to its locked position.

3. Check pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one corner of the CPU socket, align the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys and gently put the CPU onto the socket.

1. Release the CPU socket lever.


10

Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.

Install the CPU CoolerFollow the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard.

1. Apply and spread an even thermal grease on the surface of CPU.

2.Place the four bolts of theCPUcooler to the holes of the motherboard, push them straight down from the top, and the bolts will be fastened on the motherboard. That's it.

3. Check the solder side of the motherboard, the push pin should befixedasdepictedinthepicture.

4.Attach the 4-wire CPU coolerconnector to the CPU FAN header on the motherboard .

Release bolts of CPU cooler from motherboard :1.Turning the push pin (bolt)

along with the direction of arrow (counterclockwise).

2.Pullthepushpinstraightup.3. Turning push pin clockwise to its

default position.

2-5 Jumpers For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them. This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting.

Description of Jumpers1.Foranyjumperonthismotherboard,pin1canbeidentifiedbytheboldsilkscreennexttoit.

However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”.2.Thefollowingtableexplainsdifferenttypesofthejumpersettings.“Closed”meansplacinga

jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touch-ing two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.

Clear CMOS Header: CLR_CMOSThe motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to factorydefaultwhentheBIOSsettingsweremistakenlymodified.

The BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and software, correctly setting up theBIOS parameters is critical to maintain optimal system performance. Power on the computer, when the message “Press <Del> to enter setup, Press <f7> to enter boot menu” appears at the bottom of the screen, you can press <DEL> key to enter Setup.

Save&ExitThe optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer bet-ter performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause problem if you have more memory or I/O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unstable system.
