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, 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 com-•

ponents such as a motherboard, APU 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 unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power sup-•

ply 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 hard-•

ware 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 environment.•

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

tem 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.

1-3 Installing the APU and APU Cooler

Installing the APU

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

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the APU:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the APU.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest APU support list.)

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

the APU to prevent hardware damage.

• Locate the pin one of the APU. The APU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly.

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

• Do not turn on the computer if the APU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and dam-

age of the APU may occur.

• Set the APU host frequency in accordance with the APU 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 APU, graph-

ics card, memory, hard drive, etc.
