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 first 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 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 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 certified computer technician.

1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU/CPU cooler: À Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for he latest CPU support list) AWays turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before instaling the CPU to prevent hardware damage. Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectiy. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.) 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 speciications. is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware speciications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware speciications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc. For instaling the CPU cooler, please refer to chassis user's manual.

1-4 Installing the Memory/Expansion Card

Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. ILis 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.)

Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card.

AWays tu off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory/expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

Memory modules have a foolproof design. À memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the motherboard. lis major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup. saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activale certain system features. When the power is tumed off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <F2> key during the POST when the power is tumed on.

BIOS flashing is potentally risky, if you do not encounter problems of using the current BIOS À version, it is recommended that you don't flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

It is recommended that you not alter {he default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately allering the settings may result in systems failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. {Refer to the "Restore Defaults” section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear he CMOS values.)
