- Recommend memory configuration 18
- Refer to the following to install the memory modules 18
- This motherboard supports unbuffered ddr3 sdram only 2 push the latches on each side of the dimm slot down 3 align the memory module with the slot the dimm slots are keyed with notches and the dimms are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly 4 check that the cutouts on the dimm module edge connector match the notches in the dimm slot 5 install the dimm module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly the slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the dimm 6 install any remaining dimm modules 18

- Installing the motherboard 22
- Please make sure that the usb cable has the same pin assignment as indicated above a different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang up 22
- The motherboard has six usb ports installed on the rear edge i o port array addi tionally some computer cases have usb ports at the front of the case if you have this kind of case use auxiliary usb connector to connect the front mounted ports to the motherboard 22
- This detects if the chassis cover has been removed this function needs a chassis equipped with instrusion detection switch and needs to be enabled in bios 22
- This header allows the user to install auxiliary front oriented microphone and line out ports for easier access 22
- Unlike f_usb2 in this mainboard f_usb1 supports ez charger technology op tional provides 3 times current than general usb port in off mode for usb devices it is useful and excellent especially for the iphone ipad and ipod touch devices that need a large amount of current for faster recharging within less time 22
- Installing the motherboard 23
- Please make sure that the usb cable has the same pin assignment as indicated above a different pin assignment may cause damage or system hang up 23
- This motherboard implements one usb 3 header supporting 2 extra front usb 3 ports which delivers 5gb s transfer rate 23

- Power switch 30
- Reset switch 30
- Supporting the power on off function requires connecting pins 6 and 8 to a momen tary contact switch that is normally open the switch should maintain contact for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off the time requirement is due to internal de bounce circuitry after receiving a power on off signal at least two seconds elapses before the power supply recognizes another on off signal 30
- Supporting the reset function requires connecting pin 5 and 7 to a momentary contact switch that is normally open when the switch is closed the board resets and runs post 30
- The front panel header f_panel provides a standard set of switch and led headers commonly found on atx or micro atx cases refer to the table below for informa tion 30
