To protect the global environment and as an environmentalist, MSI must

remind you that...

Under the European Union (“EU”) Directive on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC, which takes e󰘯ect on August 3, 2005,

products of “electrical and electronic equipment” cannot be discarded as municipal

wastes anymore, and manufacturers of covered electronic equipment will be

obligated to take back such products at the end of their useful life. MSI will comply

with the product take back requirements at the end of life of MSI-branded products

that are sold into the EU. You can return these products to local collection points.

DEUTSCH

Hinweis von MSI zur Erhaltung und Schutz unserer Umwelt

CPU & Heatsink Installation

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink

is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps

below to ensure correct CPU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can

damage both the CPU and the motherboard.

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to learn how to install CPU & heatsink.

English

http://youtu.be/bf5La099urI

. Push the load lever down to unclip it and lift to the fully open position.

2. The load plate will automatically lift up as the load lever is pushed to the fully

open position.

Important

Do not touch the socket contacts or the bottom of the CPU.

3. Align the notches with the socket alignment keys. Lower the CPU straight down,

without tilting or sliding the CPU in the socket. Inspect the CPU to check if it is

properly seated in the socket.

4. Close and slide the load plate under the retention knob. Close and engage the

load lever.

CPU notches

Alignment Key

5

5. When you press down the load lever the PnP cap will automatically pop up from

the CPU socket. Do not discard the PnP cap. Always replace the PnP cap if the

CPU is removed from the socket.

6. Evenly spread a thin layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) on the top of the

CPU. This will help in heat dissipation and prevent CPU overheating.

English

Thermal paste

7. Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

. Place the heatsink on the motherboard with the fan’s cable facing towards the

fan connector and the fasteners matching the holes on the motherboard.

9. Push down the heatsink until the four fasteners get wedged into the holes on

the motherboard. Press the four fasteners down to fasten the heatsink. As each

fastener locks into position a click should be heard.

0. Inspect the motherboard to ensure that the fastener-ends have been properly

locked in place.

. Finally, attach the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

Important

Con󰘰rm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting

your system.

Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by

covering the socket with the plastic cap.

If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the

documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

6

Memory Installation

The SO-DIMM slot is intended for memory modules.

.

Locate the SO-DIMM slot. Align the notch on the DIMM with the key on the slot

and insert the DIMM into the slot.

2.

Push the DIMM gently downwards until the slot levers click and lock the DIMM

in place.

English

2

Important

You can barely see the golden 󰘰nger if the DIMM is properly inserted in the DIMM

slot.

To uninstall the DIMM, 󰘱ip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will be released

instantly.

Internal Connectors

SATA_POWER: SATA Power Connector

This connector is used to provide power to SATA device. Please use a SATA power

cable connect onboard SATA power connector with SATA device’s power connector.

English

SATA~2: SATA Connectors

This connector is a high-speed SATA interface port. Each connector can connect to

one SATA device. SATA devices include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD),

and optical drives (CD/ DVD/ Blu-Ray).

Video Demonstration

Watch the video to learn how to Install SATA HDD.

http://youtu.be/RZsMpqxythc

SATA

SATA2

Important

Many SATA devices also need a power cable from the power supply. Such devices

include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and optical drives (CD / DVD /

Blu-Ray). Please refer to the device’s manual for further information.

Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs,

and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came

with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.

Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result

during transmission otherwise.

SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is

recommended that the 󰘱at connector be connected to the motherboard for space

saving purposes.



JCI: Chassis Intrusion Connector

This connector connects to the chassis intrusion switch cable. If the computer case

is opened, the chassis intrusion mechanism will be activated. The system will record

this intrusion and a warning message will 󰘱ash on screen. To clear the warning, you

must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.

CPUFAN,SYSFAN: Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +2V. If the motherboard

has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed

fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to

connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and

will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into

any available system fan connector.

Important

Please refer to your processor’s o󰘲cial website or consult your vendor to 󰘰nd

recommended CPU heatsink.

These connectors support Smart Fan Control with liner mode. The Command

Center utility can be installed to automatically control the fan speeds according to

the CPU’s and system’s temperature.

If there are not enough ports on the motherboard to connect all system fans,

adapters are available to connect a fan directly to a power supply.

Before 󰘰rst boot up, ensure that there are no cables impeding any fan blades.

JBAT: Clear CMOS Jumper

There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the

motherboard to save system con󰘰guration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system

can automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If

you want to clear the system con󰘰guration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.

Keep Data Clear Data

Important

You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is o󰘯.

Afterwards, open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on

because it will damage the motherboard.

Important

Please load the default settings to restore the optimal system performance and

stability if the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings. Select the

"Restore Defaults" and press <Enter> in BIOS to load the default settings.

If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep the

default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due to

inappropriate BIOS con󰘰guration.

Entering BIOS Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start the Power On Self Test (POST)

process. When the message below appears on the screen, please <DEL> key to

enter BIOS:

Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F to enter Boot Menu

If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS,

restart the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the

RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>,

<Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

MSI additionally provides a method to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the

“GO2BIOS” tab on “MSI Fast Boot” utility screen to enable the system going to BIOS

setup directly at next boot.

Click "GO2BIOS" tab on "MSI Fast

Boot" utility screen.
