Page 100: Anti-Static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the MXGC Series. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the MXGC Series, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Page 101: Installation Considerations
MXGC Series should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the MXGC Series and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 5.2.1 Installation Notices...
Page 102: Installation Checklist

Page 103: Unpacking
When the MXGC Series is unpacked, please do the following: Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 5.1. Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the MXGC Series does not fall out of the box. Make sure all the components in the checklist shown in Chapter 3 are present.
Page 104: Cpu, Cpu Cooling Kit And Dimm Installation
Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user. The CPU, CPU cooling kit and DIMM are the most critical components of the MXGC Series. If one of these components is not installed the MXGC Series cannot run. 5.4.1 LGA775 CPU Installation NOTE:...
Page 105 Figure Error! No text of specified style in document.-42: Intel LGA775 Socket To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the MXGC Series, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU.
Page 106 Inspect the CPU socket Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air. Step 4: Orientate the CPU properly. Make sure the IHS (Integrated Heat Sink) side is ©Copyright 2007 CyberResearch, Inc.
Page 107 ® CyberResearch MXGC Series Motherboards facing upward. Step 5: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU socket. Step 6: Align the CPU pins. Locate pin 1 and the two orientation notches on the CPU.
Page 108: Lga775 Cooling Kit Installation
WARNING: It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use the original heat sink and cooler provided by Intel on the MXGC Series. CyberResearch cooling kits include a support bracket that is combined with the heat sink mounted on the CPU to counterweigh and balance the load on both sides of the PCB.

Motherboards B.1 DIO Interface Introduction The DIO connector on the MXGC Series is interfaced to GIO ports on the iTE Super I/O chipset. The DIO has both 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs. The digital inputs and digital outputs are generally control signals that control the on/off circuit of external devices or TTL devices.

Page 243: Introduction
® CyberResearch MXGC Series Motherboards E.1 Introduction The Intel® ICH7R chipset can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager using one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5 or 10. When using two hard drives, matrix RAID allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions to be combined, where critical files can be stored on RAID 1, and RAID 0 can be used for non-critical items such as software.
Page 244: Features And Benefits
Save and Exit BIOS. After the SATA support option is enabled, save and exit the BIOS. Step 17: Reboot the system. Reboot the system after saving and exiting the BIOS. * The MXGC Series does not support the IDE connection standard ©Copyright 2007 CyberResearch, Inc.
