> + The sequence of installation may differ depending on the type of case and devices used. The we installation instructions below apply to GIGABYTE's desktop systems and are for reference only.

+ Refer to the users manual included for detailed motherboard specifications. Before instaling the devices, make sure they are compliant with the connectors on your computer. Before installingthe devices, be sure to tum offthe devices and your computer. Unplug the power cord from the power outet to prevent damage to the devices and the system components. Place the computer system on a stable surface to prevent improper installation resulted from shaking.

Installing a CPU and CPU Cooler

A. Installing an Intel CPU (skip this step if the motherboard has a built-in CPU) A-1 Refer to the following instructions based on your CPU specifications: + Type A:

Lift the CPU socket lever and the metal load plate will be lifted as well.

a. Ifthe protective socket cover is fastened on the CPU socket, remove it first.

b. Ifthe protective socket cover is fastened on the metal load plate, do not remove it at this stage. The socket cover may pop off from the load plate automatically during the process of re-engaging the lever after you insert the CPU.

+ TypeB: Push lever À (closest to the "T°" marking) down and away from the socket to release it. Then push lever B (closest to the" marking) down and away from the socket and li it. Gently press lever A to allow the load plate to rise. Open the load plate.

A-2 Hold the CPU with your thumb and index fingers. Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one comner of the CPU socket (or you may align the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys) and gentiy insert the CPU into position.

A-3 Oncethe CPUisproperiinserted,replacetheloadplate andpushthe CPUsocketleverbackintoitslocked position. Once the type Bis properiyinserted, carefully replace the load plate. Then secure lever B underts retention tab. The socket cover may pop off from the load plate during the process of engaging the lever. Final, secure lever A under it retention tab to complete the installation of he CPU.

22 For detailed instructions on installing the CPU, please refer to the user's manual.

B. Installing an AMD CPU (skip this step if the motherboard has a built-in CPU)

B-1 Completely raise the CPU socket lever. Align the CPU pin one (small triangle marking) with the triangle marking on the CPU Socket Lever CPU socket and gently insertthe CPU into the socket. Make sure that the CPU pins fit perfecty into their holes.

B-2 Once the CPU is positioned into its socket, place one finger L down on the middle of the CPU, lowering the socket lever ‘ and latching it into the fully locked position.

Do not force the CPU into the CPU socket. The CPU cannot fi in if oriented incorrectiy. Adjust the CPU orientation if this occurs.

SAYTON . DO NOT touch socket contacts. To protect the CPU socket, always replace the protective socket cover when the CPU is not installed.

C. Installing the CPU Cooler s C-1 Before installing the CPU cooler, please first add a thin layer of

heat sink paste on the surface ofthe CPU. Then install the cooler {refer to the installation manual for your CPU cooler)

C-2 Connectthe CPU cooler cable tothe CPU_FAN connectorlocated on the motherboard so that the cooler can properly function to prevent the CPU from overheating.

Note the orientation of the memory module. Spread the retaining clips at both ends: ofthe memory socket. Place the memory module onthe socket As indicated inthe picture on the lef place your fingers on the top edge offhe memory, push doun on 7 the memory and insert vertcally into the memory socket, The clips at both ends ofthe socket will snap into place when the memory module is securely inserted.

remove both sides and the lid of the case in order to install the power supply

Place the power supplyin the correct place in the case and secure it with screws.

Installation and placement of the power supply may differ depending on the type of case used.

To ensure sufficient power can be supplied to your system, it is

> recommended that a power supply of good quality be used. fa power %* supplyis used that does not provide the required power, the result can

lead to an unstable or unbootable system

Remove the original 1O shield from the back of the case and replace it with the motherboard 1/O shield. Place the motherboard within the case by posiioning it into its LO shield. Align the mounting crew holes on the motherboard with their corresponding mounting holes on the case. Secure the motherboard in place with screws.

Installing an Expansion Card

Locate an expansion slot that supports your card and remove the slot cover from the case back panel. Then insert the expansion card into the slot. Secure the expansion card's bracket to the case back panel with a screw.

 + Before purchasing an expansion card, check the length ofthe card, making sure it can fit into your case. + Make sure that the expansion card is fully seated in ts slot.

6-1 Install your optical drives, such as DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives. Remove the 5.25" drive bay cover from the front of the case. Mount the optical drive in the 5.25" drive bay and secure it with screws.

6-2 Install your IDE and SATA hard drives. Install the hard drive into a drive bay within the case and secure it with screws.

Instaling à Hard Drive

22%, “One motherboard IDE connector can connect up to two IDE devices. Prior to installation, check the jumper Ne settings (master and slave) on your IDE devices.

+ _Imore than one hard drive is installed, enter system BIOS Setup to set the hard drive boot sequence.

Connecting Cables to Internal Connectors

7-1 Connect cables to internal connectors and headers on the motherboard, including IDE/SATA connectors, and front panel audio, USB, IEEE 1394 headers, etc.

7-2 Attach the front panel module (differs depending on the case design, consisting of power indicator, hard drive activity indicator, speakers, reset switch, power switch, etc.) from the case to the front panel header (F_PANEL) on the motherboard.
