Chapter 2: Installation Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. 2.1 Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
2.3 CPU Installation For the installation of Intel 1150-Pin Load Plate Load Lever CPU, please follow the steps below. Contact Array Socket Body 1150-Pin Socket Overview Before you insert the 1150-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the CPU surface is unclean or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged. Step 1. Open the socket: Step 1-1.
1. It is recommended to use the cap tab to handle and avoid kicking off the PnP cap. 2. This cap must be placed if returning the motherboard for after service. black line Step 3. Insert the 1150-Pin CPU: Step 3-1. Hold the CPU by the edge which is marked with a black line. Step 3-2. Locate Pin1 and the two orientation key notches.
Step 4. Close the socket: Step 4-1. Flip the load plate onto the IHS. Step 4-2. Press down the load lever, and secure it with the load plate tab under the retention tab.
2.4 Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink This motherboard is equipped with 1150-Pin socket that supports Intel 1150-Pin CPUs. Please adopt the type of heatsink and cooling fan compliant with Intel 1150-Pin CPU to dissipate heat. Before you install the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Ensure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
