2. Installation

This is an ATX form factor (12.0-in x 8.0-in, 30.5 cm x 20.3 cm) motherboard.

Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure

that the motherboard fits into it.

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard

components or change any motherboard settings.

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static elec-

tricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the

like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety

grounded object before you handle components.

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-

static pad or in the bag that comes with the component.

When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the mother-

board to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing

so may damage the motherboard.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the

power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the

power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the

motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
