EVGA P55 SLI Motherboard Before Y ou Begin… Parts NOT in the Kit This kit contains all the hardwa re necessary to instal l and connect your new EVGA P55 SLI Mother board. However, it doe s not conta in the following items that must be purchased separatel y to make the motherbo ard functional.
EVGA P55 SLI Motherboard Motherboard Spe cifications Size ATX form factor of 12 inc h x 9.6 inch Processor support Intel Socket 1156 C PU’s Operating systems: Supports Windows X P 32bit/.
Six (6) onboard Serial A TA II 300MBps data trans fer rate Six Serial ATA II con nectors with support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, and RAID 5 Supports hot plug an d NCQ (Native C ommand Queuing ) .
Hardware Inst allation This section will g uide you through the ins tallation of the motherboard. The topics covered in thi s section are: Preparing the motherboa rd Installing the CPU Ins.
Preparing the Mo therboard Installing the CPU Be very careful whe n handling the C PU. Hold the processor only by the edge s and do not touch the contac ts on the motherboa rd or CPU. Any physical da mage to the motherbard pins w ill void the war ranty.
Align the notche s in the processor wi th the notches on the socket. Lower the proces sor straight down into the socket without tilti ng or sliding it into the socket Note: Make sure the CPU is fully seated and level. Lower the load plate s o it is resting on the CPU.
Installing System Memory (DIM Ms) Your new motherboa rd has four 240 -pin slots for D DR3 memory. These slots support 1G B , 2G B, 4GB DDR3 technologie s . There m ust be at least one memory bank populated t o ensure no rmal operation. U se the following the recommendations for installing memory.
Installing the I/O Shield The motherboard kit co mes with an I/O s hield that is us ed to block radio frequency transmi ssions, protec ts internal component s from dust and foreign objects, and promotes co rrect airflow w ithin the chassi s. Before installing the mo therboard, in stall the I/O shield from the insid e of the chassis.
Securing the Mot herboard into a System Case Most system case s have a base with mounting studs or spac ers to allow th e motherboard to be secu red to the chas sis and help to pre vent short circui ts.
24 -pin ATX Pow er (P W1 ) PW1 is the main power supply connector located alo ng the e dge of the board next to the DIMM slots. Make sure that the power suppl y cable a nd pins are properly aligned wit h the connector o n the motherboard . Firmly plug the power supply cable into the c onnector and make sure it is sec ure.
primary storage devices. The current Se rial ATA II interf ace allows up to 300MB/s data trans fer rate. There are six (6) internal serial ATA c onnectors on this mother board. These connections are de signed to be a ngled to not interfere w ith any expa nsions cards.
Connecting Internal Headers Front Panel Hea der The front panel he ader on this motherb oard is one connec tor used to connect the following fou r cables. (see Table 2 for pin definitions) : PWRLED Attach the front pane l power LED cable to these two pins of the connector.
IEEE1394a (Firewire) Th is motherboar d has one IEEE 1394a onboard header. A lternatively, you can also connect this to your system case (if ap plicable). 1. Secure the bracket to either t he front or rear panel o f the system case (not all system cases are equippe d with the front panel optio n).
USB Headers This motherboard c ontains seven (7) US B 2.0 ports that are exposed on the rear panel of the chassis (Figure 2). The mothe rboard also contain s three (3) 10 - pin internal heade r connectors onboard that ca n be used to connect an optional e xternal bracket conta ining up to six (6) USB 2.
Audio The audio connec tor supports HD audio standard and provide s two kinds of audio output choice s: the Front Audio, the Rea r Audio. The f ront Audio supports re-tasking function.
Expansion Slots PCI Slots The PCI slot suppo rts many expa nsion cards such as a L AN card, USB card, SCSI card and other ca rds that comply w ith PCI specifications.
Onboard Button s These onboard butt ons include RESET, POWER and Cle ar CMOS. These functions allow you t o easily reset t he system, turn on/of f the system, or clear the CMOS. Clear CMOS Butto n The motherboard u ses the CMOS RAM to store all the s et parameters.
Post Port Debug LED and LED Status Indicators Post Port Debug LED Provides two-digit P OST codes to show why the sy stem may be failing to b oot . It is useful during tr oubleshooting situation s. This Debug LED will a lso display current CPU temperat ures after the system has fully bo oted into the Operating System.
