Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not
in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure that your system chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure that the person handling it is static-protected.

Chapter 2: Installation
Notes:
• Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,
removing, or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the
CPU heatsink and heatsink fans.
• Make sure that the processor wattage (TDP) does not exceed the maximum
rating for the motherboard. Also, check that it is within the rating limits of
the heatsink and chassis to ensure proper cooling and operation. Refer to
the chassis manual for more information.
• Refer to the Motherboard Features section of the manual and our website
for more information on CPU support and updates.
3. Hold the plastic cap at its north and south center edges to remove it from the
CPU socket.
2-5
X9DBU-3F/X9DBU-iF Motherboard User’s Manual
4. After removing the plastic cap, hold the CPU at the north and south center
edges with your thumb and index finger,.
5. Align the CPU key, which is a semi-circle cutout, with the socket key, which is
the notch below the gold color dot on the side of the socket.
7. Once both CPU and the socket are aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight
down into the socket. (To avoid damaging the CPU or the socket, do not rub
the CPU against the surface of the socket or its pins.)
8. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make
sure that the CPU is properly installed.
9. Once the CPU is securely seated on the socket, lower the CPU load plate to
the socket.
10. Use your thumb to gently push the socket clip down to the clip lock.
Warning: Please save the plastic cap. The motherboard must be shipped with the
plastic cap properly installed to protect CPU socket pins. Shipping without the plastic
cap properly installed will cause damage to the socket pins.

Chapter 2: Installation
CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such
as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note 1: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the
system, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2: Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.
