23 hardware installation 23
High power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 23
Manufacturer when using an intel extreme edition cpu 130w to meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand 23
Use of a power supply providing a 2x4 12v power connector is recommended by the cpu 23
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the com ponents on the motherboard before connecting the power connector first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation the 12v power con nector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 23
4 5 cpu_fan sys_fan1 sys_fan2 pwr_fan fan headers 24
Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your cpu and system from over heating overheating may result in damage to the cpu or the system may hang these fan headers are not configuration jumper blocks do not place a jumper cap on the 24
Fdd floppy disk drive connector 24
Hardware installation 24 24
Headers 24
The motherboard has a 4 pin cpu fan header cpu_fan a 4 pin sys_fan2 and a 3 pin system fans and a 3 pin power fan most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design when connecting a fan cable be sure to connect it in the correct orientation the black connector wire is the ground wire the motherboard supports cpu fan speed control which requires the use of a cpu fan with fan speed control design for optimum heat dissipation it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis 24
This connector is used to connect a floppy disk drive the types of floppy disk drives supported are 360 kb 720 kb 1 mb 1 4 mb and 2 8 mb before connecting a floppy disk drive be sure to locate pin 1 of the connector and the floppy disk drive cable the pin 1 of the cable is typically designated by a stripe of different color for purchasing the optional floppy disk drive cable please contact the local dealer 24

Pin no definition 25
Please connect the l shaped end of the sata cable to your sata hard drive 25
Sata2_0 1 2 3 4 sata 3gb s connectors controlled by h55 chipset 25
The ide connector supports up to two ide devices such as hard drives and optical drives before attach ing the ide cable locate the foolproof groove on the connector if you wish to connect two ide devices remember to set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the ide devices for example master or slave for information about configuring master slave settings for the ide devices read the instructions from the device manufacturers 25
The sata connectors conform to sata 3gb s standard and are compatible with sata 1 gb s standard each sata connector supports a single sata device 25
A raid 0 or raid 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives 26
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery replace the battery with an equivalent one danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with 26
An incorrect model contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by your self or uncertain about the battery model when installing the battery note the orientation of the positive side and the negative side 26

Of the battery the positive side should face up used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations 26
The battery provides power to keep the values such as bios configurations date and time information in the cmos when the computer is turned off replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level or the cmos values may not be accurate or may be lost 26
The sata connectors conform to sata 3gb s standard and are compatible with sata 1 gb s standard each sata connector supports a single sata device the gigabyte sata2 controller supports raid 0 raid 1 and jbod refer to chapter 5 configuring sata hard drive s for instructions on configuring a raid array 26

F_audio front panel audio header 28
Front panel audio module refer to the instructions on how to activate ac 97 functionality via the audio software in chapter 5 configuring 2 4 5 7 channel audio audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultane ously if you want to mute the back panel audio only supported when using an hd front panel audio module refer to chapter 5 configuring 2 4 5 7 channel audio some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire 28
Hardware installation 28 28
Instead of a single plug for information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire assignments please contact the chassis manufacturer 28
The front panel audio header supports hd audio by default if your chassis provides an ac 97 28
The front panel audio header supports intel high definition audio hd and ac 97 audio you may connect your chassis front panel audio module to this header make sure the wire assignments of the module con nector match the pin assignments of the motherboard header incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it 28
You may connect the audio cable that came with your optical drive to the header 28
