Installing the Motherboard

The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the

chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or

working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier to make all

the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make

all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.

Use the following procedure to install the I/O shield and secure the

motherboard into the chassis.

Note: Be sure that the CPU fan assembly has enough clearance for the system

case covers to lock into place and for the expansion cards. Also make sure

the CPU Fan assembly is aligned with the vents on the covers. This will

depend on the system case being used.

Installing the I/O Shield/Cover

The motherboard kit comes with an I/O shield that is used to block internal

components from dust and foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within

the chassis.

Before installing the motherboard, install the I/O shield from the inside of the

chassis. Press the I/O shield into place and make sure it fits securely.

Also included is an I/O cover. This I/O cover adds a unique appearance to the

I/O area of the motherboard and is completely optional. If you wish to use the

cover, please place it over the I/O area, and install the chassis screws. The

chassis screws are intended to hold the I/O cover down.

Securing the Motherboard into a System Case

Most system cases have a base with mounting holes you thread standoffs onto to

allow the motherboard to be secured to the chassis and help to prevent short

circuits. If there are studs that do not align with a mounting hole on the

motherboard, it is recommended that you remove that standoff to prevent the

possibility of a short circuit.

Carefully place the motherboard onto the standoffs located inside the

chassis.

Align the mounting holes with the standoffs.

Align the connectors to the I/O shield and/or I/O cover.

Ensure that the fan assembly is aligned with the chassis vents according to

the fan assembly instruction.

Secure the motherboard with four (4), or ten (10) screws depending on the

specific board in the series. Ensure that each screw is lined up with and

screwing into the corresponding standoff under the board. Double check

alignment to make sure nothing gets cross-threaded.

See the picture below for a zoomed in view of a hole to use a standoff in as

well as the locations of standoff holes for all boards in the Z97 series.

Above, all locations safe to secure the board to a standoff with are

circled in red, and the upper left side of that picture is a zoomed in

view of the hole.

Keep in mind that when the screws are installed but not fully tightened,

the motherboard should have 1-2mm of movement, this can help with

getting cards mounted or other tight tolerance/close fitting cards.

Connecting Cables

This section takes you through all the necessary connections on the

motherboard. This will include:

Power Connections

24pin ATX power (PW1)

EPS 8pin 12V power

Internal Headers

Front Panel connectors (power/reset/LED’s)

Fan Headers (PWM for CPU and DC for )

USB 2.0 Header

USB 3.0 Header

Audio Header (FTW and Classified)

SATA III

Rear I/O Panel

24pin ATX Power (ATX_PWR_24P)

ATX_PWR_24p is the main power supply connector located along the lower

right edge of the board. Make sure that the power supply cable and pins are

properly aligned with the connector on the motherboard. Firmly plug the power

supply cable into the connector and make sure it is secure.

The 24pin Power Connector may be standard or right angled depending on

your motherboard model.

EPS 8-pin 12V Power (PWR 8P1)

EPS PWR 8P1, the 8-pin ATX 12V power connections, is used to provide

power to the CPU. Align the pins to the connector and press firmly until seated.

The secondary is optional for improved overclocking. Please remember to

make sure that the tab on the EPS socket is aligned with the release clip on the

cable, because if they are on opposite sides, while it will be able to fit, it is the

incorrect cable and may damage the board, as that is a PCI-E 8pin cable.

Connecting Internal Headers

Front Panel Header

The front panel header on this motherboard is used to

connect the following four cables.

PWRLED

Attach the front panel power LED

cable to these two pins of the connector. The Power

LED indicates the system’s status. When the system is

powered on, the LED will be on.

Note: Some system cases may not have all four cables. Be sure to match the

name on the connectors to the corresponding pins.

PWRSW

Attach the power button cable

from the case to these two pins.

Pressing the power button on the

front panel turns the system on and

off rather than using the onboard

button.

HD_LED

Attach the hard disk drive indicator

LED cable to these two pins. The

HDD indicator LED indicates the

activity status of the hard disks.

RESET

Attach the Reset switch cable from

the front panel of the case to these

two pins.

USB Headers

This motherboard contains

USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports that are

exposed on the rear panel of

the chassis. The motherboard

also contains 10-pin internal

header connectors onboard

that can be used to connect an

optional external bracket

containing up to four (4) USB

2.0 ports. It also has an

internal header connector for

USB 3.0.

Secure the bracket to either the front or rear panel

of your chassis (not all chassis are equipped with

the front panel option).

Connect the two ends of the cables to the USB 2.0

or 3.0 headers on the motherboard.

Audio

The audio connector supports HD audio standard and provides two kinds of audio

output choices: the Front Audio and the Rear Audio.

PCI-E x16/x8 Slot

This board has a single PCI-E 16x slot. This is specifically for a video card,

however you can place a different card there and use the Intel HD Graphics on the

CPU. When installing a PCI-E Graphics Card, be sure the retention clip snaps and

locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short

across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the

screw used to hold the blank cover.
