Screw Holes When you install the mainboard, you have to place the mainboard into the chassis in the correct direction. The locations of screws holes on the mainboard are shown as below. w w w .d e vi ce m an ua ls . eu SOCKET AM3 The side has to toward the rear, the position for the I/O shield of the chassis. Screw holes Refer above picture to install standoffs in the appropriate locations on chassis and then screw through the mainboard screw holes into the standoffs.
MS-7597 REAR PANEL The rear panel provides the following connectors: Parallel port PS/2 mouse LAN Line-In Line-Out Serial port VGA port USB ports MIC eu PS/2 keyboard ls . HARDWARE SETUP vi ce m an ua CPU & Cooler Installation for AM3 When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion. w .
Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to a 90-degree angle. 2. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the picture. The CPU can only fit in the correct orientation. . If the CPU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen.
MS-7597 Installing Memory Modules . The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right orientation. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated. You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted in the DIMM slot. .
ATX 24-Pin Power Connector: JPWR1 This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector. eu d n u ro V .G 5 V 4 2 3.+ +5 V d 2 2. +5 s un d 2 1. Re o un d 2 0. Gr o n # 2 9. Gr rou ON d 1 8. G - un 1 7.
