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.

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. 3).

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,

the heatsink cannot be secured on the motherboard.

Step 5. Connect fan header with the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

Step 6. Secure excess cable with tie-wrap to ensure

cable does not interfere with fan operation or

contact other components.

y Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMM slots and

two 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_3; Yellow slots; see p.2 No.6),

identical DDR2 DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange

slots; see p.2 No.7), or identical DDR3 DIMM pair in Dual Channel C (DDR3_A1

and DDR3_B1; Green slots; see p.2 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory Technol-

ogy can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDR2 DIMMs

for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDR2 DIMMs in all four

slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

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 green

slots (DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1), in the set of yellow slots (DDRII_1

and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are in-

stalled in the DDR2 DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to

activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology. If only one memory

module is installed in the DDR3 DIMM slots on this motherboard,

it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in

DDRII_1 and DDRII_2, 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.

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.

2.7 Jumpers Setup

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. 10)

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.
