Chapter 2 Installing the Motherboard 2-1. Safety Precautions • • • • Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device to avoid damage from static electricity. Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case of a safely grounded object before working on the motherboard. Leave components in the static-proof bags. Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.
PAGE 12
2-3. Checking Jumper Settings This section explains how to set jumpers for correct configuration of the motherboard. Chapter 2 1. LCD_SEL: LCD panel select header (For All-In-One Specification) 1.When your panel connects to LVDS, please check LCD_SEL header setting first. 2.Due to the differences of the panel parameters, please follow the above illustration to place the jumper caps.
PAGE 13
2. CLR_CMOS: Clear CMOS jumper Chapter 2 The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is labeled. To avoid the system instability after clearing CMOS, we recommend users to enter the main BIOS setting page to “Load Default Settings” and then “Save and Exit Setup”.
PAGE 14
2-4. Installing Hardware 2-4-1. Installing the Processor • • Chapter 2 • • This motherboard has an LGA1150 socket. When choosing a processor, consider the performance requirements of the system. Performance is based on the processor design, the clock speed and system bus frequency of the processor, and the quantity of internal cache memory and external cache memory. You may be able to change the settings in the system Setup Utility.
PAGE 15
Chapter 2 D. Rotate the load plate onto the package IHS (Intergraded Heat Spreader). Engage the load lever while pressing down lightly onto the load plate. Secure the load lever with the hook under retention tab. Then the cover will flick automatically. Please save and replace the cover onto the CPU socket if processor is removed.
PAGE 16
2-4-2. Installing the CPU Cooler • • • Chapter 2 • • • Install the cooling fan in a well-lit work area so that you can clearly see the motherboard and processor socket. Avoid using cooling fans with sharp edges in case the fan casing and the clips cause serious damage to the motherboard or its components. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least.
PAGE 17
• • • • This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support two 204-pin DDR3 1600/1333 MHz. Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules. You must install at least one module in any of the two slots. Total memory capacity is 16 GB.
PAGE 18
2-4-4. Installing Add-on Cards The slots on this motherboard are designed to hold expansion cards and connect them to the system bus. Expansion slots are a means of adding or enhancing the motherboard’s features and capabilities. With these efficient facilities, you can increase the motherboard’s capabilities by adding hardware that performs tasks that are not part of the basic system.
PAGE 19
Remove a blanking plate from the system case, and insert the wireless card into the PCIE2 slot rightwards, then tighten the screw (Please refer to Picture 1). 2 Press the metal connector of the cable into the connector on the wireless card. Ensure that the metal connector is correctly seated (Please refer to Picture 2).

Chapter 3 Using BIOS About the Setup Utility The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.
PAGE 34
Resetting the Default CMOS Values When powering on for the first time, the POST screen may show a “CMOS Settings Wrong” message. This standard message will appear following a clear CMOS data at factory by the manufacturer. You simply need to Load Default Settings to reset the default CMOS values. Note: Changes to system hardware such as different CPU, memories, etc. may also trigger this message. Chapter 3 Using BIOS When you start the Setup Utility, the main menu appears.

Chapter 4 Using the Motherboard Software Auto-installing under Windows 7/8 The auto-install DVD-ROM makes it easy for you to install the drivers and software. The support software DVD-ROM disc loads automatically under Windows 7/8. When you insert the DVD-ROM disc in the DVD-ROM drive, the auto-run feature will automatically bring up the installation screen. The screen has four buttons on it: Setup, Utilities, Browse CD and Exit. Click “Exit” button to close the Auto-Setup window.
PAGE 64
Click Next. The following screen appears: 3. Check the box next to the items you want to install. The default options are recommended. 4. Click Next to run the Installation Wizard. An item installation screen appears: 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the items. Chapter 4 2. Drivers and software are automatically installed in sequence. Follow the onscreen instructions, confirm commands and allow the computer to restart a few times to complete the installation.
PAGE 65
Manual Installation Chapter 4 Windows 7/8 will appear below UAC (User Account Control) message after the system restart. You must select “Yes” to install the next driver. Continue this process to complete the drivers installation. If the auto-install DVD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still install drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows Explorer).
