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 The following illustration shows the location of the motherboard jumpers. Pin 1 is labeled. Chapter 2 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 13
2-4. Installing Hardware • • • • This motherboard accommodates one memory module. It can support one 204-pin DDR3 1333/1066. 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 one module in the slot. Total memory capacity is 8 GB. Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
PAGE 14
2-4-2. 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 15
1 Remove a blanking plate from the system case corresponding to the slot you are going to use. 2 Install the edge connector of the add-on card into the expansion slot. Ensure that the edge connector is correctly seated in the slot. 3 Secure the metal bracket of the card to the system case with a screw. For some add-on cards, for example graphics adapters and network adapters, you have to install drivers and software before you can begin using the add-on card.
