Before you start installing the motherboard, please make sure you follow the instructions below: 3.2 Prepare a dry and stable working environment with sufficient lighting. Always disconnect the system from power outlet before operation. Before you take the motherboard out from anti-static bag, ground yourself properly by touching any safely grounded appliance, or use grounded wrist strap to remove the static charge. Avoid touching the components on motherboard or the rear side of the board unless necessary. Hold the board on the edge, do not try to bend or flex the board. Do not leave any unfastened small parts inside the case after installation. Loose parts will cause short circuits which may damage the equipment. Keep the system from dangerous area, such as heat source, humid air, and water. Please switch on/off the machine normally. That is, DO NOT pull out power cord directly from the motherboard or the system may damage. Installing Central Processing Unit (CPU) Notice: 1. Remove pin cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use. When the CPU is removed, cover the pin cap on the empty socket to ensure pin legs won’t be damaged. 2. The motherboard might equip with two different types of pin cap. Please refer to instructions below for removing pin cap. Hardware Installation 17 IMB204 LGA1155 ATX Motherboard Step 1: Pull the socket locking lever out from the socket then raise the lever and load plate to the fully open position. Step 2: Remove the pin cap. Step 3: Hold processor with your thumb and index fingers, oriented as shown. Align the notches with the socket. Lower the processor straight down without tilting or sliding the processor in the socket. 18 Hardware Installation IMB204 LGA1155 ATX Motherboard Step 4: Close the load plate. Pressing down on the load plate, close and engage the socket lever. Step 5: Put the CPU fan and heatsink assembly on the CPU and buckle it on the retention frame. Connect the CPU fan power cable into the CPU_FAN1 to complete the installation. 3.3 Installing System Memory Memory Modules: Hardware Installation 19 IMB204 LGA1155 ATX Motherboard Step 1: Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the slot. Step 2: Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining chip snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. If the DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out and try again.

Active Processor Cores This item sets number of cores to enable in each processor package. Configuration options are All, 1, 2 and 3. Limit CPUID Maximum When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system. Execute-Disable Bit XD can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a ® ® supporting OS (Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP SP2, SuSE Linux 9.2, RedHat Enterprise 3 Update 3). Intel Virtualization Technology Virtualization Technology can virtually separate your system resource into several parts, thus enhance the performance when running virtual machines or multi interface systems. Hardware Prefetcher The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its requirements and prefetches data and instructions from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with memory reads. Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor requests for a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line immediately available if the processor requires it as well.
