EuP ready power supply are required. According to Intel’s suggestion, the EuP

ready power supply must meet the standard of 5v standby power efficiency

is higher than 50% under 100 mA current consumption. For EuP ready power

supply selection, we recommend you checking with the power supply manu-

facturer for more details.1010

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-

board components or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static

electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet

or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch

a safety grounded object before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded

antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the

motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the

screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,

please follow the steps below. Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check ifthe CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation isfound. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.775-Pin Socket Overview1111

Step 1. Open the socket:

Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing

down and out on the hook to clear

Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-

sition at approximately 135 degrees.

Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-

sition at approximately 100 degrees.

Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:

Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are

marked with black lines.

Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated

Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two

orientation key notches.

For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key

notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.

Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket

by using a purely vertical motion.

Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket

and properly mated to the orient keys.

Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):

Use your left hand index finger and thumb to

support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap

with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the

socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to

assist in removal. black lineblack line 775-Pin Socket

(CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 1).

Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard

Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press

down on fastener caps with thumb to install

and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.

If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure

cable does not interfere with fan operation or

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

G41MH/USB3 R2.0 motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3)

DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel

configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand, speed,

size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel

Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into

DDR3 slot;otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

2. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory

modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM Installing a DIMM Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the

slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.1414

the physical setup of your monitors that you would like to use. The placement

of display icons determines how you move items from one monitor to another.1717

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt the monitor that

supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy the

superior display quality with high-definition HDCP encryption

contents. Please refer to below instruction for more details about

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a

specification developed by Intel

for protecting digital entertainment

content that uses the DVI interface. HDCP is a copy protection

scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data

midstream between the video source, or transmitter - such as a

computer, DVD player or set-top box - and the digital display, or

receiver - such as a monitor, television or projector. In other words,

HDCP specification is designed to protect the integrity of content as it

is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD players,

satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few entertain-

ment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant display. Due

to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP in their equipment,

it is highly recommended that the HDTV or LCD monitor you purchase

Driver Installation Guide

To install the drivers to your system, please insert the support CD to your optical drive

first. Then, the drivers compatible to your system can be auto-detected and listed on

the support CD driver page. Please follow the order from up to bottom side to install

those required drivers. Therefore, the drivers you install can work properly.

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during

overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you

enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter “Overclock Mode” option of BIOS setup

to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during

overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under

a more stable overclocking environment.

Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk

before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.2424

The Flash Memory on the motherboard stores BIOS Setup Utility. When you start up

the computer, please press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter

BIOS Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines. If you wish to

enter BIOS Setup after POST, please restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> +

<Delete>, or pressing the reset button on the system chassis. The BIOS Setup pro-

gram is designed to be user-friendly. It is a menu-driven program, which allows you to

scroll through its various sub-menus and to select among the predetermined choices.

For the detailed information about BIOS Setup, please refer to the User Manual (PDF

file) contained in the Support CD.
