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 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 damage

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, graphics

card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-4 Installing the Memory

DualChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides two 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 two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as

following:

Channel A: DDR3_2

Channel B: DDR3_1

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.

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 SetupoftheAMDDualGraphicsConguration

A. System Requirements

- An AMD A series processor that supports AMD Dual Graphics technology

- Windows 8.1/7 operating system

- An AMD Dual Graphics technology-supported motherboard and correct driver

- A graphics card that supports AMD Dual Graphics technology (for more details, please visit AMD's ofcial

website) and correct driver

B.InstallingtheGraphicsCardsandConguringBIOSSetup

Step 1:

Observe the steps in "1-5 Installing an Expansion Card" and install an AMD Dual Graphics technology-supported

graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot. Plug the monitor cable into the graphics card and start up your computer.

Step 2:

Enter BIOS Setup to set the following items under the Peripherals\GFXConguration menu:

- Set Integrated Graphics to Force.

- Set UMA Frame Buffer Size to 512M or above.

Save the settings and exit BIOS Setup. Restart your computer.

C.ConguringtheGraphicsCardDriver

After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. Browse to

Performance\AMD Radeon™Dual Graphics and ensure the Enable AMD Radeon Dual Graphics check box is selected.

1-7 Back Panel Connectors

USB 2.0/1.1 Port

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

PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Port

Use this port to connect a PS/2 mouse or keyboard.

(Note) Make sure the drivers for the Chipset, onboard graphics, and external graphics card are properly

installed.

Due to APU 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 memory modules, it is recommended that memory of

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.
