Chapter 1 Hardware Installation1-1 Installation PrecautionsThe motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damagedasaresultofelectrostaticdischarge(ESD).Priortoinstallation,carefullyreadtheuser'smanual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard. • Prior to installation, donot removeor breakmotherboardS/N (SerialNumber) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation. • Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components. • When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make

sure they are connected tightly and securely. • When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors. • It is best towear an electrostatic discharge (ESD)wrist strapwhen handling electroniccomponentssuchasamotherboard,CPUormemory.IfyoudonothaveanESDwriststrap,keepyourhandsdryandfirsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

• Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

• Donotplacethecomputersystemonanunevensurface. • Donotplacethecomputersysteminahigh-temperatureorwetenvironment. • Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user. • If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product,pleaseconsultacertifiedcomputertechnician.

• If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation and/or grounding instructions.

1-3 Installing the CPUReadthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstalltheCPU: • Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU. (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPUsupportlist.)

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

• Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. • Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU. • DonotturnonthecomputeriftheCPUcoolerisnotinstalled,otherwiseoverheatinganddamage

of the CPU may occur. • SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecifications.Itisnotrecommendedthatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecificationssinceitdoesnotmeetthestandard requirements for the peripherals.

1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components

onthemotherboard.Beforeconnectingthepowerconnector,firstmakesurethepowersupplyisturnedoff 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 connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high powerconsumptionbeused(500Worgreater).Ifapowersupplyisusedthatdoesnotprovidetherequired power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating SystemWith the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.

Installing the Operating SystemAs some operating systems already include Intel®RAID/AHCIdriver,youdonotneedtoinstallseparateRAID/AHCI driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend thatyouinstallallrequireddriversfromthemotherboarddriverdiskusing"XpressInstall"toensuresystemperformance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional SATA RAID/AHCIdriverduringtheOSinstallationprocess,pleaserefertothestepsbelow:1. Copy the Hw10 folder under the \Boot folder in the driver disk to your USB thumb drive.2. Boot from the Windows setup disk and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting

you to load the driver appears, select Browse.3. Insert the USB thumb drive and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of the drivers is as

follows: \Hw10\RAID\x64

4. Select AMD-RAID Bottom DevicefirstandclickNext to load the driver. Then select AMD-RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver. Finally, continue the OS installation.
