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.

•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.

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.

Installing the CPU

Locate the pin one (denoted by a small triangle) of the CPU socket and the CPU.

DualChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides four DDR3 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.

The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

Channel A: DDR3_2, DDR3_4

Channel B: DDR3_1, DDR3_3

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 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 and installed in the same colored DDR3 sockets for

optimum performance. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory

modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 sockets.

Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on hardware installation.

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.

1-6 Back Panel Connectors

PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Port

Use the upper port (green) to connect a PS/2 mouse and the lower port (purple) to connect a PS/2 keyboard.

USB 2.0/1.1 Port

The USB port supports the USB 2.0/1.1 specication. Use this port for USB devices.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 Port

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 port supports the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specication and is compatible to the USB 2.0

specication. Use this port for USB devices.

RJ-45 LAN Port

The Gigabit Ethernet LAN port provides Internet connection at up to 1 Gbps data rate. The following

describes the states of the LAN port LEDs.

•When removing the cable connected to a back panel connector, rst remove the cable from your

device and then remove it from the motherboard.

•When removing the cable, pull it straight out from the connector. Do not rock it side to side to prevent

an electrical short inside the cable connector.

Line In Jack (Blue)

The line in jack. Use this audio jack for line in devices such as an optical drive, walkman, etc.

Line Out Jack (Green)

The line out jack. Use this audio jack for a headphone or 2-channel speaker. This jack can be used to

connect front speakers in a 4/5.1/7.1-channel audio conguration.

Mic In Jack (Pink)

The Mic in jack.

To congure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the

multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver. Please visit GIGABYTE's website for more

software information.
