EVGA assumes you have purchased all the necessary parts needed to allow for proper system  
functionality. For a full list of supported CPU’s on this motherboard, please visit  
When replacing a motherboard in a system case, you will need to reinstall an operating system  
even though the current hard disk may already have an operating system  
 
   
Hardware Installation  
This section will guide you through the installation of the motherboard.  
The topics covered in this section are:  
Preparing the motherboard  
Installing the motherboard  
Connecting cables  
Preparing the Motherboard  
Installing the CPU  
Be very careful when handling the CPU. Hold the processor only by  
the edges and do not touch the contacts on the motherboard or CPU.  
Any physical damage to the motherboard pins will void the  
warranty.  
Use the following procedure to install the CPU onto the motherboard:  
1. Unhook the socket lever by pushing down and away from the socket.  
2. Pull the socket lever back and the load plate will automatically lift.  
There is a protective socket cover within the CPU socket to protect  
the socket when there is no CPU installed.  
3. Remove the protective socket cover from the CPU Socket in a straight  
up motion.  
Note: You must save the protective cover so that whenever you  
remove the CPU the pins will not be protected.  
4. Align the notches in the processor with the notches on the socket.  
5. Lower the processor straight down into the socket without tilting or  
sliding it into the socket  
6. Lower the load plate so it is resting on the CPU.  
7. Pull back the socket lever again to ensure the load plate tip engages  
under the shoulder screw cap.  
8. Carefully close and latch the lever.  
Align notches with notches  
on the CPU  
 
     
Installing the CPU Fan  
There are many different fan types that can be used with this  
motherboard. Follow the instruction that came with you fan  
assembly. Be sure that the fan orientation is correct for your  
chassis type and your fan assembly.  
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)  
Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 256 MB,  
512 MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one memory bank  
populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing  
memory.  
One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.  
Two DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1 and 3.  
Four DIMMS: If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.  
DIMM Slot 2 (XMM2)  
DIMM Slot 1 (XMM1)  
DIMM Slot 4 (XMM4)  
DIMM Slot 3 (XMM3)  
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the  
center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the  
component is installed properly.  
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.  
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM  
slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the  
connector.  
Installing the Motherboard  
The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the chassis you are  
using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or working with an empty system case.  
Determine if it would be easier to make all the connections prior to this step or to secure the  
motherboard and then make all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard  
first.  
 
     
Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the motherboard into the  
chassis.  
Installing the I/O Shield  
The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block radio frequency  
transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes  
correct airflow within the chassis.  
Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the chassis. Press the  
I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely.  
Securing the Motherboard into a System Case  
Most system cases have a base with mounting studs or spacers to allow the motherboard to be  
secured to the chassis and help to prevent short circuits. If there are studs that do not align  
with a mounting hole on the motherboard, it is recommended that you remove that stud to  
prevent the possibility of a short circuit.  
1. Carefully place the motherboard onto the stand offs located inside the chassis.  
2. Align the mounting holes with the stand offs.  
3. Align the connectors to the I/O shield.  
4. Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to the fan  
assembly instruction.  
5. Secure the motherboard with screws.  
Connecting Cables  
This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the motherboard. This will  
include:  
Power Connections  
24-pin ATX power (ATXPOWER)  
4-pin ATX 12V power (ATX_CPU)  
Serial ATA II  
Internal Headers  
Front panel  
Expansion slots  
 
     
24-pin ATX Power (ATXPOWER)  
ATXPOWER is the main power supply connector located along the edge of the board next to  
the DIMM slots. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are properly aligned with the  
connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power supply cable into the connector and make  
sure it is secure.

4-pin ATX 12V Power (ATX_CPU)  
ATX_CPU the 4-pin ATX 12V power connection, is used to provide power to the CPU. Align the  
pins to the connector and press firmly until seated.  
Connecting Serial ATA Cables  
The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial ATA II device to the motherboard.  
These connectors support the thin Serial ATA II cables for primary storage devices. The current  
Serial ATA II interface allows up to 300MB/s data transfer rate.  
 
     
Front Panel Header (F_PANEL)  
The front panel header on this motherboard is one connector used to connect the following four  
cables.  
PLED  
Attach the front panel power LED  
cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power LED indicates  
the system’s status.  
When the system is turned on, the LED is on. When the system is  
turned off, the LED is off.  
PWRBTN  
Attach the power button cable from the case to these two pins.  
Pressing the power button on the front panel turns the system on and  
off rather than using the onboard button.  
HDLED  
Attach the hard disk drive indicator LED cable to these two pins. The  
HDD indicator LED indicates the activity status of the hard disks.  
RESET  
Attach the Reset switch cable from the front panel of the case to  
these two pins. The system restarts when  
the RESET switch is pressed.  
Expansion Slots  
PCI Slots  
The PCI slot supports many expansion cards such as a LAN card, USB card, SCSI card and  
other cards that comply with PCI specifications. When installing a card into the PCI slot, be  
sure that it is fully seated. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the  
screw used to hold the blank cover.  
PCI Express x1 Slots  
The PCI Express x1 slot is designed to accommodate PCIe x1 cards, such as an EVGA Killer  
Xeno Network Card or Sound Card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.  
PCI Express x4 Slots  
The PCI Express x4 slot is designed to accommodate PCIe x1/x4 cards.  
PCI Express x16/x8/x1 Slots  
These PCI Express slots are reserved for Graphic Cards and PCI Express x1 devices. The  
design of this motherboard supports multiple Graphic Card technology.  
When installing a PCI Express Graphic Card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the  
card into place. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used  
to hold the blank cover.
