Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install mother-
board components or change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, 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.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antstatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the
motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the
screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

CPU Installation
For the installation of Intel 775-LAND CPU,
please follow the steps below.
Before you insert the 775-LAND CPU into the socket, please check if
the CPU surface is unclean or if there is any bent pin on the socket.
Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is
found. Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

Step 1. Open the socket:
Step 1-1. Disengaging the lever by depressing
down and out on the hook to clear
retention tab.
Step 1-2. Rotate the load lever to fully open po-
sition at approximately 135 degrees.
Step 1-3. Rotate the load plate to fully open po-
sition at approximately 100 degrees.
Step 2. Insert the 775-LAND CPU:
Step 2-1. Hold the CPU by the edges where are
marked with black lines.
Step 2-2. Orient the CPU with IHS (Integrated
Heat Sink) up. Locate Pin1 and the two
orientation key notches.
For proper inserting, please ensure to match the two orientation key
notches of the CPU with the two alignment keys of the socket.
Step 2-3. Carefully place the CPU into the socket
by using a purely vertical motion.
Step 2-4. Verify that the CPU is within the socket
and properly mated to the orient keys.
Step 3. Remove PnP Cap (Pick and Place Cap):
Use your left hand index finger and thumb to
support the load plate edge, engage PnP cap
with right hand thumb and peel the cap from the
socket while pressing on center of PnP cap to
assist in removal.

Installation of CPU Fan and Heatsink
For proper installation, please kindly refer to the instruction manuals of your CPU fan
and heatsink.
Below is an example to illustrate the installation of the heatsink for 775-LAND CPU.
Step 1. Apply thermal interface material onto center
of IHS on the socket surface.
Step 2. Place the heatsink onto the socket. Ensure
fan cables are oriented on side closest to the
CPU fan connector on the motherboard
(CPU_FAN1, see page 2, No. 6).
Step 3. Align fasteners with the motherboard
throughholes.
Step 4. Rotate the fastener clockwise, then press
down on fastener caps with thumb to install
and lock. Repeat with remaining fasteners.
If you press down the fasteners without rotating them clockwise,

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibil-
ity and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of
the same color. In other words, install them in the set of yellow
slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2), in the set of green slots (DDR3_A1
and DDR3_B1), or in the set of pink slots (DDR3_A2 and
DDR3_B2).
2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are in-
stalled in DDR3 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to
activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If only one memory
module is installed in DDR2 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is
unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots and
four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel
Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install
identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR2/DDR3 DIMM pair in
the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDR2
DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.2 No.7),
identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1; Green
slots; see p.2 No.8), or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel C (DDR3_A2
and DDR3_B2; Pink slots; see p.2 No.9), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology
can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR3 DIMMs for
dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR3 DIMMs in all four
slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in
DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel
Memory Technology.
4. It is not allowed to install a DDR3 memory module into DDR2 slot
or install a DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this
motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
5. DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules cannot be installed on this
motherboard at the same time.
6. To have the best performance with DDR3 1600 XMP memory
modules, it is suggested to install one memory module on each
channel. For example, install them in the set of green slots
(DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1) or in the set of pink slots (DDR3_A2
and DDR3_B2).
Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM
Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM
Installing a DIMM
Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or
removing DIMMs or the system components.
Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.
Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break
on the slot.
The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent
damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot
at incorrect orientation.
Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

The illustration shows how jumpers are
setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap
is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1
and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is
placed on these 2 pins.
Jumper Setting Description
PS2_USB_PWR1 Short pin2, pin3 to enable
(see p.2 No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2
or USB wake up events.
Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by
power supply.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.2, No. 13)
Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system
setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,
please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply.
After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1
for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the
BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you
must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-
CMOS action.

When you mount a FSB800 or FSB1066 CPU, and try to overclock to FSB1333 or
FSB1600 (by BIOS setting) you may face the problem, that DRAM frequency will
be overclocked very high. Please use jumper to force NB to be strapped at higher
frequency, so the DRAM can work at lower frequency.
If you want to overclock the CPU you adopt to FSB1066 on this motherboard, you
need to adjust the jumpers. Please short pin4, pin5 for FSB2 jumper and pin4, pin5 for
FSB3 jumper. Otherwise, the CPU may not work properly on this motherboard.
Please refer to below jumper settings.
If you want to overclock the CPU you adopt to FSB1333 on this motherboard, you
need to adjust the jumpers. Please short pin3, pin4 for FSB2 jumper and pin4, pin5 for
FSB3 jumper. Otherwise, the CPU may not work properly on this motherboard.
Please refer to below jumper settings.
If you want to overclock the CPU you adopt to FSB1600 on this motherboard, you
