1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can

become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read

the user's manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard,

make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic

components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist

strap,keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•

Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power

supply has been turned off.

• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your

hardware components are connected.

• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface

.

• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to

system components as well as physical harm to the user.

• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

1-3-1 Installing the CPU

A. Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

• Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may

locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

• Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

• Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and

damage of the CPU may occur.

• SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecications.Itisnotrecommended

thatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthe

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard

specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU,

graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

Step 1:

Push the lever closest to the "unlock" marking " "

(below referred as lever A) down and away from

the socket to release it.

Step 4:

HoldtheCPUwithyourthumbandindexngers.Align

the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the pin one

corner of the CPU socket (or align the CPU notches with

the socket alignment keys) and carefully insert the CPU

into the socket vertically.

B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU socket.

•Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord

from the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

•To protect the socket contacts, do not remove the protective plastic cover unless the CPU is

inserted into the CPU socket. Save the cover properly and replace it if the CPU is removed.

Step 2:

Push the lever closest to the "lock" marking " "

(below referred as lever B) down and away from

the socket. Then lift the lever.

Lever A

Step 3:

Gently press lever A to allow the load plate to rise.

Open the load plate. (Note: DO NOT touch the socket

contacts after the load plate is opened.)

Step 5:

Once the CPU is properly inserted, carefully replace the

load plate. Then secure lever B under its retention tab.

The protective plastic cover may pop off from the load

plate during the process of engaging the lever. Remove

the cover. Save the cover properly and always replace it

when the CPU is not installed.

Step 6:

Finally, secure lever A under its retention tab to

complete the installation of the CPU.

- 16 - Hardware Installation

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Refer to the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (Actual installation process

may differ depending the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)

Please pay more attention when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape

between the CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler

may damage the CPU.

Step 1:

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the

surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four

mounting screws with the mounting holes on the

ILM. (If your cooler has a fan grill which may cause

interference when you tighten the screws, remove it

rstandreplaceitaftertighteningthescrews.)

Step 3:

Use one hand to hold the cooler and the other to

tighten the screws in a diagonal sequence with a

screw driver. Begin tightening a screw with a few

turns and repeat with the screw diagonally opposite

the one you just tightened. Then do the same to the

other pair. Next, fully tighten the four screws.

Step 4:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the

motherboard.

1-4-1 Four Channel Memory Conguration

This motherboard provides Eight DDR4 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After

thememory is installed, theBIOS will automatically detect the specications andcapacity of the memory.

Enabling Four Channel memory mode will be four times of the original memory bandwidth.

The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into four channels each channel has two memory sockets as

following:

Channel 1: DIMM_P0_A0 (For pimary CPU)/DIMM_P1_E0 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0 (For pimary CPU)/DIMM_P1_F0 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0 (For pimary CPU)/DIMM_P1_G0 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0 (For pimary CPU)/DIMM_P1_H0 (For secondary CPU)

1-4 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the

same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

the memory to prevent hardware damage.

• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one

direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.

1. Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR4 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that

memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

1-4-2 Installing a Memory

Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module.

Be sure to install DDR4 DIMMs on this motherboard.

Installation Step:

Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down.

Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.

Note: For dual-channel operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.

Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
