Chapter 1: Introduction

1?1 Before You Start

Thank you for choosing our product. Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below:

• Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting.
  • Always disconnect the computer from power outlet before operation.
• Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge.
• Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board.
• Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment.
• Keep the computer from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air and water.
• The operating temperatures of the computer should be 0 to 45 degrees Celsius.

Step 4: Hold processor with your thumb and index fingers, oriented as shown. Align the notches with the socket. Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding the processor in the socket.

Step 5: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then lower the lever to locked position to complete the installation.

Note

» Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1155 socket.
» The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU.

2.2 Install a Heatsink

Step 1: Place the CPU fan assembly on top of the installed CPU and make sure that the four fasteners match the motherboard holes. Orient the assembly and make the fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.

Step 2: Press down two fasteners at one time in a diagonal sequence to secure the CPU fan assembly in place. As each fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

Note

» Apply the thermal interface material on the CPU before heatsink installation, if necessary.
» Do not forget to connect the CPU fan connector.
» For proper installation, please kindly refer to the installation manual of your CPU heatsink.

4.4 Troubleshooting

Probable Solution
1. There is no power in the system. Power LED does not shine; the fan of the power supply does not work2. Indicator light on keyboard does not shine.	1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.2. Replace cable.3. Contact technical support.
System is inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drives are running.	Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.
System does not boot from a hard disk drive, but can be booted from optical drive.	1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.
System only boots from an optical drive. Hard disks can be read, applications can be used, but system fails to boot from a hard disk.	1. Back up data and applications files.2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.
Screen message shows “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”	Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.
System cannot boot after user installs a second hard drive.	1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.

CPU Overheated

If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated.

When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again.

In this case, please double check:

1. The CPU cooler surface is placed evenly with the CPU surface.
2. CPU fan is rotated normally.
3. CPU fan speed is fulfilling with the CPU speed.
