System Memory Recognition

The BIOS will automatically recognize the installed
memory and configure the CMOS Setup Utility. No other
action is required to complete system memory installa-
tion.

Installing the Motherboard in a System Housing

This section explains the basic requirements for install-
ing this motherboard in a system housing or “chassis”.
Since housing designs vary widely, you will need to con-
sult the housing documentation for specific information.

This motherboard can be installed in any housing that
supports the ATX form factor.

To install the motherboard in a system housing you will
need to do the following:

• Install a rear I/O panel shield

• Attach the board to the housing

• Connect leads from the housing’s front panel

You can then connect other internal system components
as described later in this chapter.

Motherboard Installation Procedure

This section assumes you are installing the board in a
suitable ATX housing. We also assume you have pre-
pared the board for installation as previously described
in this manual. If the housing you are using normally
stands vertically, place the open housing on it’s side be-
fore you start.

Please follow this procedure to install this motherboard:

1. Review any instructions that came with the system

housing and prepare the necessary mounting hard-
ware that came with it.

2. Identify the mounting holes on the board and con-

firm that the housing has standoffs that match them.

3. Install the rear I/O panel shield that came with the

housing in the housing’s I/O panel opening. This
should match the ports on the board.

4. Insert the board in the housing and align the mount-

ing holes to the standoffs on the housing’s
motherboard mounting plate. Make sure all of the
rear I/O ports are properly aligned with the open-
ings in the I/O panel shield.

Required Tool:
• Philips-head screw driver
(Crosshead)
