  • Page 5: Installation Precautions

    Installation Precautions ■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. ■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing CPU, memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet. Failure to unplug the power supply cord may result in serious damage to your system. Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer : ■ It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed. ■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your CPU is over clocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capacity of your device. ■ If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 1394a, RS232 COM, IrDA or S/PDIF cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure their pinouts are matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect connections might damage the motherboard. ■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. ■ If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we recommend using a 24-pin ATX power supply to get the best performance. ■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input voltage setting has been configured to the local standard. ■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing. ■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

    2-1 Install the CPU and CPU Cooler Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU : ■ Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. ■ Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage. ■ Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.) ■ Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU. ■ Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur. ■ Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc. Hyper-Threading Technology System Requirements: (Go to Intel's website for more information about the Hyper-Threading Technology) ■ An Intel ® CPU that supports HT Technology ■ A chipset that supports HT Technology ■ An operating system that is optimized for HT Technology ■ A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled Install the CPU Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

  • Page 18: Install The Memory

    2-2 Install the Memory Read the following guidelines before you begin to install 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. ■ Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage. ■ Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction. Dual Channel Memory Configuration This motherboard provides two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory in your system. Two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels: Channel 0 : DIMM1, Channel 1 : DIMM2, The combinations of DIMM modules are : DIMM1 DIMM2 Single Channel DS/SS Single Channel DS/SS Dual Channel DS/SS DS/SS (DS : Double Side, SS : Single Side, - : No Memory) It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and please select dual channel first to achieve optimum performance.

  • Page 25: Jumpers

    2-5 Jumpers For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them. This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting. Description of Jumpers 1. For any jumper on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the bold silkscreen next to it. However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”. 2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touch- ing two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem. Jumper Diagram Definition Description Set Pin 1 and Pin 2 closed Set Pin 2 and Pin 3 closed Clear CMoS Jumper: ClR_CMoS The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modified. The steps to clear CMOS data are : 1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet. 2. Remove jumper cap from pins 1-2, put it onto pins 2-3 to short them. This will clear CMOS data. 3. Return the setting to its original with pins 1-2 closed. 4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on. 5. Go to BIOS Setup to configure new system as described in next chapter. Normal (Default) Clear CLR_CMOS ■ Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings. ■ Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.
  • Page 26 Intel Me Jumper: PCH_Me_eNAble ® This motherboard uses PCH_ME_ENABLE jumper to enable or disable Intel® Management Engine function. Intel® Management Engine (ME) is an embedded microcontroller located in Intel chipset. It provides latest IT management features such as Intel® AMT, that allows to improve management of corporate assets. Set the jumper to pins 1-2, you can enable the Intel® Management Engine function. Set the jumper to pins 2-3, you can disable the Intel® Management Engine function.

  • Page 50: Fox One

    foX oNe FOX ONE is a powerful utility for easily modifying system settings. It also allows users to monitor various temperature values, voltage values, frequencies and fan speeds at any time. With FOX ONE, you can : ■ Modify system performance settings, such as the CPU and memory bus speeds, CPU voltages, fan speeds, and other system performance options. ■ Monitor hardware temperatures, voltages, frequencies and fan speeds. Depending on hardware support, voltage monitoring and Fox Intelligent Stepping features are optional and only supported in some models. If the option is selectable, it also means the feature is supported. ■ Voltage Monitoring is supported only in FOX ONE Premium & Deluxe products. ■ Fox Intelligent Stepping is supported only in FOX ONE Deluxe products. Supporting Operating Systems : ■ Windows 2000 ■ Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) ■ Windows 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) ■ Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) ■ Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) Using FOX ONE : The very first time you run FOX ONE, F.I.S. Calibration function (FOX Intelligent Stepping) will require you to calibrate the CPU’s loading. Click “OK” to proceed and start the Utility. F.I.S. is a feature of FOX ONE, which can automatically adjust your CPU clock based on your current system loading. Before you running the FOX ONE program, the system parameters (such as CPU clock, voltage...etc.) are controlled by BIOS settings. After you run FOX ONE, it will take over, and the controlling right will be transferred to FOX ONE. Later, if you exit FOX ONE, then BIOS control will be back again.
