Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Installing the motherboard to the chassis... If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning. 6 7ZXE Motherboard To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps: Step 1 - Set system jumpers Step 2- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 3-Install memory modules Step 4-Install expansion cards Step 5-Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply Step 6-Set up BIOS software Step 7-Install supporting software tools Step 2 Step 3 Step 5 Step 5 Step 1 Step 4 7 Installation Guide CPU Installation The system bus speed is selectable at 100MHz& 133MHz. The user can select the system bus speed by Jumper "CLK_JP".

CPU Top View CPU Bottom View Socket Actuation Lever Blank 1.Pull the lever out and lift it up. 2.The notched corner should be orientated toward the blank space on the socket nearest the lever. The CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown. CPU Heat Sink Installation: Beware: Please check that the heat sink is in good contact with the CPU before you turn on your system. The poor contact will cause over heat, and might cause damage to your processor! 9 Installation Guide 3.Align CPU and insert it (Please refer to your heatsink installation manual for application of thermal grease to provide better heat conduction between your CPU and heatsink.) 4.Use compliant fan approved by AMD. 5.Hook one end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket. 6. Hook the other end of the cooler bracket to the CPU socket. (Please refer to the cooler's installation manual for detailed installation steps) 10 7ZXE Motherboard Memory Installation The motherboard has 3 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets support 6 banks. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM Slot .The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notch. Memory size can vary between sockets. SDRAM 1. The DIMM slot has two notch, so the DIMM 2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically memory module can only fi ...
