Pre-installation PrecautionsPre-installation Precautions

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 HeatsinkInstallation of CPU Fan and Heatsink

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,

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.

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

775XFire-RAID motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate II)

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) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words,

you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and

DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p.2 No.7) or identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Chan-

nel B (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.2 No.8), so that Dual Channel

Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to

install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install iden-

tical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory

Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

DDRII_1 DD RII_2 DDRII_3 DDRII_4

(Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot) (Yellow Slot) (Orange Slot)

(1) Populated - Populated -

(2) - Populated - Populated

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either 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 installed

in the DDRII 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 DDR memory module into DDRII slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

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.

PCIE Slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x 16 slot) is used for PCI Express cards with x16 lane

width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIE x 1 slot) is used for PCI Express cards, such as

Gigabit LAN card, SATA2 card, etc. Please check the jumper set

tings on page 15 for different functions.

AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4):

AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4) is used to install PCI Express expan-

sion cards. For the information of the compatible PCI Express VGA cards,

please refer to the “Supported PCI Express VGA Card List for AGI Ex-

press Slot (PCI Express x 4)” on page 8. Please check the jumper set-

tings on page 15 for different functions.

Installing an expansion cardInstalling an expansion card

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the installation.

Step 2. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws

for later use.

Step 3. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 4. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

2.5 Dual Graphics Feature2.5 Dual Graphics Feature

2.5 Dual Graphics Feature

This motherboard supports Dual Graphics Technology. When installing the add-on

VGA cards to this motherboard, you are allowed to choose two different ways to

decide the function of PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1) and AGI Express slot. The default value

of this feature is to enable PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1) and AGI Express slot (only PCI

Express x 1). You can also adjust the jumpers to disable PCIE2 slot (PCIE x 1). Then

only AGI Express slot (PCI Express x 4) will be enabled. In other words, you are able

to adjust the jumpers to enjoy the benefit of Dual Graphics feature. Please refer to the
