Safety Instructons
Always read the safety nstructons carefully.
Keep ths Users Manual for future reference.
Keep ths equpment away from humdty.
Lay ths equpment on a relable fat surface before settng t up.
The openngs on the enclosure are for ar convecton hence protects the equpment
from overheatng. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
Make sure the voltage of the power source s at 110/220V before connectng the
equpment to the power nlet.
Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on t. Do not place
anythng over the power cord.
Always Unplug the Power Cord before nsertng any add-on card or module.
All cautons and warnngs on the equpment should be noted.
Never pour any lqud nto the openng that can cause damage or cause electrcal
shock.
If any of the followng stuatons arses, get the equpment checked by servce
personnel:
The power cord or plug s damaged.
Lqud has penetrated nto the equpment.
The equpment has been exposed to mosture.
The equpment does not work well or you can not get t work accordng to Users
Manual.
The equpment has been dropped and damaged.
The equpment has obvous sgn of breakage.
DO NOT LEAVE THIS EQUIPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT ABOVE 60

FCC-B Rado Frequency Interference Statement
Ths equpment has been tested and found
to comply wth the lmts for a Class B dg-
tal devce, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These lmts are desgned to provde
reasonable protecton aganst harmful nter-
ference n a resdental nstallaton. Ths equpment generates, uses and can radate
rado frequency energy and, f not nstalled and used n accordance wth the nstruc-
tons, may cause harmful nterference to rado communcatons. However, there s no
guarantee that nterference wll not occur n a partcular nstallaton. If ths equpment
does cause harmful nterference to rado or televson recepton, whch can be deter-
mned by turnng the equpment of and on, the user s encouraged to try to correct the
nterference by one or more of the measures lsted below.
Reorent or relocate the recevng antenna.
Increase the separaton between the equpment and recever.
Connect the equpment nto an outlet on a crcut dferent from that to whch the
recever s connected.
Consult the dealer or an experenced rado/televson techncan for help.
Notce 1
The changes or modfcatons not expressly approved by the party responsble for com-
plance could vod the users authorty to operate the equpment.

CPU (CENTRAL PROCESSlNG UNlT)
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure to nstall the cooler to prevent overheatng.
If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turnng on the computer.
For the latest nformaton about CPU, please vst
http://www.ms.com/servce/cpu-support
Important
Overheatng
Overheatng wll serously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the coolng
fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheatng. Make sure that you apply
an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsnk to
enhance heat dsspaton.
Replacng the CPU
Whle replacng the CPU, always turn of the ATX power supply or unplug the power
supplys power cord from the grounded outlet frst to ensure the safety of CPU.
Overclockng
Ths manboard s desgned to support overclockng. However, please make sure your
components are able to tolerate such abnormal settng, whle dong overclockng. Any
attempt to operate beyond product specfcatons s not recommended. We do not guar-
antee the damages or rsks caused by nadequate operaton or beyond product spec-
fcatons.

Introducton to AM3+ CPU
The surface of CPU. Remember to apply some thermal paste on t for better heat
dsperson.

CPU & Cooler Installaton
When you are nstallng the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top
to prevent overheatng. Meanwhle, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU
before nstallng the heat snk/cooler fan for better heat dsperson.
Follow the steps below to nstall the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong nstallaton wll
cause the damage of your CPU & manboard.
Pull the lever sdeways away from
the socket. Make sure to rase the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
1. Look for the gold arrow of the CPU.
The gold arrow should pont as shown
n the pcture. The CPU can only ft n
the correct orentaton.
2.
If the CPU s correctly nstalled, the
pns should be completely embedded
nto the socket and can not be seen.
Please note that any volaton of the
correct nstallaton procedures may
cause permanent damages to your
manboard.
3. Press the CPU down frmly nto the
socket and close the lever. As the
CPU s lkely to move whle the lever
s beng closed, always close the
lever wth your fngers pressng tghtly
on top of the CPU to make sure the
CPU s properly and completely
embedded nto the socket.
4.
2-5
Poston the coolng set onto the
retenton mechansm.
Hook one end of the clp to hook
frst.
5. Then press down the other end of the
clp to fasten the coolng set on the
top of the retenton mechansm.
Locate the Fx Lever and lft up t .
6.
Fasten down the lever. 7. Attach the CPU Fan cable to the CPU
fan connector on the manboard.
8.
Important
Whle dsconnectng the Safety Hook from the fxed bolt, t s necessary to keep an eye
on your fngers, because once the Safety Hook s dsconnected from the fxed bolt, the
fxed lever wll sprng back nstantly.

Important
DDR3 memory modules are not nterchangeable wth DDR2 and the DDR3 standard
s not backwards compatble. You should always nstall DDR3 memory modules n
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you nstall memory modules of the same type
and densty n dferent channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always nsert the memory modules nto the
DIMM1 frst.
Due to the chpset resource deployment, the system densty wll only be detected up
to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM s nstalled wth a 4GB memory module.

Installng Memory Modules
The memory module has only one notch on the center and wll only ft n the rght
orentaton.
Insert the memory module vertcally nto the DIMM slot. Then push t n untl the
golden fnger on the memory module s deeply nserted n the DIMM slot. The plastc
clp at each sde of the DIMM slot wll automatcally close when the memory module
s properly seated.
Manually check f the memory module has been locked n place by the DIMM slot
clps at the sdes.
Important
You can barely see the golden fnger f the memory module s properly nserted n the
DIMM slot.

Spread Spectrum
When the manboards clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spkes) of the pulses
create EMI (Electromagnetc Interference). The Spread Spectrum functon reduces the
EMI generated by modulatng the pulses so that the spkes of the pulses are reduced
to fatter curves.
Important
If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system
stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread
Spectrum for EMI reducton.
The greater the Spread Spectrum value s, the greater the EMI s reduced, and the

consult your local EMI regulaton.
Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum f you are overclockng because even a slght

The ntegrated one SATA host controller separately, and
support RAID functon for performance and relablty.
SB710 SATA RAID (SATA1~5) provdes support for
RAID 0 (Strpng), RAID 1 (Mrrorng) & RAID 10 (Strpng
& Mrrorng). RAID 0 greatly mproves hard dsk I/O per-
formance by concurrently strpng data across multple
drves. RAID 1 makes sure data s not lost f a drve fals
as data s smultaneously wrtten to two drves. Drves
confgured for RAID Strpng are sad to form a RAID 0
set, whle drves confgured for RAID Mrrorng are sad
to form a RAID 1 set. RAID 10 s mplemented as a mr-
rored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. RAID
10 has same fault tolerance as mrrorng and reduces
overhead by strpng. It needs at least four drves to form
a RAID 10.
