2. Installation Pre-installation Precautions Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard 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.
Step 1. Open the socket: Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing down and out on the hook to clear retention tab. Step 1 -2. Rotate the load lever to fully open position at approximately 135 degrees. Step 1 -3. Rotate the load plate to fully open position 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.
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. Step 4. Close the socket: Step 4-1. Rotate the load plate onto the IHS. Step 4-2. While pressing down lightly on load plate, engage the load lever. Step 4-3. Secure load lever with load plate tab under retention tab of load lever. 2.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) G31M-GS / G31M-S motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) 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 DDR2 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel mode. Ik 1.
2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots) There are 2 PCI slots and 2 PCI Express slots on this motherboard. PCi slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI interface. PCiE slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x1 lane width cards, such as Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc. PCIE2 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x16 lane width graphics cards.
2.5 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on и pins, the jumper is "Short". If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is "Open". The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are "Short" when jumper cap is Short Open placed on these 2 pins. Jumper Setting Description PS2_USB_PWR1 (see p.2 No. 1) 2 3 Short pin2, pin3 to enable КЯЗГо| (3]-Pto| +5VSB (standby) for PS/2 +5V +5VSB or USB wake up events.
ОС 800 / FSBO / FSB1 Jumper ц> (ОС ЬОО / FSBO / FSB1,3-pin jumper, see p.2 No. 28) М П Default T_2 KZH) Note: If you want to overclockthe FSB800-CPU (e.g. CeMOO, E1000, E2000, E4000, E5000, E6000 series CPU) to FSB1066 on this motherboard, you need to adjust the jumpers. Please short pin2, pin3 for OC8OO jumper. Otherwise, the CPU may not work properly on this motherboard. Please refer to below jumper settings.
2.6 O n b o a r d Headers a n d Connectors Ł O n b o a r d headers and connectors are N O T j u m p e r s . Do N O T place jumper caps over these headers and connectors.
