CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Introduction to the LGA 1155 CPU

The surface of the LGA 1155 CPU has two alignment keys and a yellow triangle to assist in correctly

lining up the CPU for mainboard Alignment Key placement. The yellow triangle is the

Pin 1 indicator.

Yellow triangle is the

Pin 1 indicator

Important

Overheating

Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and mainboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

When replacing the CPU, always turn off the system’s power supply and unplug the power supply’s power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.

Overclocking

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommend. MSI does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

Engl shi

3.Line up the CPU to fit the CPU socket. Be sure to hold the CPU by the base with the metal contacts facing downward. The alignment keys on the CPU will line up with the edges of the CPU socket to ensure a correct fit.

4.Close the loading plate and remove the plastic protective cap.

9.Push down on the heatsink until the four clips get wedged into the holes on the mainboard. Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. As each hook locks into position a click should be heard.

Engl shi

11.Finally, attach the CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector on the mainboard.

Important

•Do not touch the CPU socket pins.

•Confirm that the CPU cooler 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.

•Please refer to the documentation in the CPU cooler package for more details about CPU cooler installation.

Mounting Screw Holes

When installing the mainboard, first install the necessary mounting stands required for

a mainboard on the mounting plate in your computer case. If there is an I/O back plate ngi that came with the computer case, please replace it with the I/O backplate that came

case without the need for any screws. Align the mounting plate’s mounting stands with

the screw holes on the mainboard and secure the mainboard with the screws provided

Important

•Install the mainboard on a flat surface free from unnecessary debris.

•To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuitry and the computer case, except for the mounting stands, is prohibited.

•Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the mainboard or within the computer case that may cause a short circuit of the mainboard.

Internal Connectors

SATA1~6: SATA Connector

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).

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 flat connector be connected to the mainboard for space saving purposes.

Engl shi

Important

•On the connectors coming from the case, pins marked by small triangles are positive wires. Please use the diagrams above and the writing on the mConnectors to determine correct connector orientation and placement.

•The majority of the computer case’s front panel connectors will primarily be plugged into JFP1.

JUSB3: USB 3.0 Expansion Connector

The USB 3.0 port is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. It supports data transfer rates up to 5Gbits/s (SuperSpeed).

USB 3.0 Bracket (optional)

Important

•Note that the VCC and GND pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage.

•To use a USB 3.0 device, you must connect the device to a USB 3.0 port through an optional USB 3.0 compliant cable.

JUSB1~2: USB 2.0 Expansion Connectors

This connector is designed for connecting high-speed USB peripherals such as USB HDDs, digital cameras, MP3 players, printers, modems, and many others.

* The MB layout in this figure is for reference only.

USB 2.0 Bracket (optional)

Important

Note that the VCC and GND pins must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage.

JCI1: 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 flash on screen. To clear the warning, you must enter the BIOS utility and clear the record.

Engl shi

JCOM1: Serial Port Connector

This connector is a 16550A high speed communication port that sends/receives 16 bytes FIFOs. You can attach a serial device.

JLPT1: Parallel Port Connector

This connector is used to connect an optional parallel port bracket. The parallel port is a standard printer port that supports Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) and Extended Capabilities Parallel Port (ECP) mode.
