Installing the CPU Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU: • Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
  • Page 11: Installing The Memory

    • Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.) • Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
  • Page 12: Back Panel Connectors

    Back Panel Connectors PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Port Use the upper port (green) to connect a PS/2 mouse and the lower port (purple) to connect a PS/2 key- board. D-Sub Port The D-Sub port supports a 15-pin D-Sub connector. Connect a monitor that supports D-Sub connection to this port.
  • Page 13 Dual Display Configurations for the Onboard Graphics: This motherboard provides three video output ports: D-Sub, DVI-D, and HDMI. Dual monitor configurations are supported in operating system environment only, but not during the BIOS Setup or POST process. USB 3.0/2.0 Port The USB 3.0 port supports the USB 3.0 specification and is compatible to the USB 2.0/1.1 specification. Use this port for USB devices such as a USB keyboard/mouse, USB printer, USB flash drive and etc.

    Internal Connectors ATX_12V SATA2 0/1/2/3 F_PANEL CPU_FAN F_AUDIO SYS_FAN F_USB1/F_USB2 COMA GSATA3_0/1 CLR_CMOS Read the following guidelines before connecting external devices: • First make sure your devices are compliant with the connectors you wish to connect. • Before installing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.
  • Page 15 1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (2x2 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the com- ponents on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed.
  • Page 16 3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN (Fan Headers) The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) and a 4-pin (SYS_FAN). Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed con- trol, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design.
  • Page 17 DEBUG DEBUG PORT PORT 6) GSATA3_0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Marvell 88SE9172 Chip) The SATA connector conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Marvell 88SE9172 chip supports RAID 0 and RAID 1.
