Chapter 1 Hardware Installation
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, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.
• 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 connecting or 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 or wet 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.
• If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation
and/or grounding instructions.

1-3 Installing the CPU
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)
• 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.
• 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
specications,pleasedosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecicationsincludingtheCPU,graphics
card, memory, hard drive, etc.
Installing the CPU
Locate the alignment keys on the CPU carrier clip and the notches on the 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.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
• 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.
6ChannelMemoryConguration
This motherboard provides twelve memory sockets and supports 6 Channel Technology. After the memory is
installed,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.Thetwelvememory
sockets are divided into six channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel A: DIMM_P0_A0-1, DIMM_P0_A0-2
Channel B: DIMM_P0_B0-1, DIMM_P0_B0-2
Channel C: DIMM_P0_C0-1, DIMM_P0_C0-2
Channel D: DIMM_P0_D0-2, DIMM_P0_D0-1

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,
the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high
power consumption be used. If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power,
the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

graphics cards are installed, we recommend that you connect the power cables from the power supply to
the connectors to ensure system stability.

All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.
When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is
the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For
optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

10) D_LED1/D_LED2 (Addressable LED Strip Headers)
The headers can be used to connect a standard 5050 addressable LED strip, with maximum power rating
of 5A (12V or 5V) and maximum number of 1000 LEDs. There are 12V and 5V addressable LED strips.
Be sure to verify the voltage requirements of your addressable LED strip and set the DLED_V_SW1 and
DLED_V_SW2 jumpers accordingly.
Connect one end of the included addressable LED strip adapter
cable to this header and the other end to your addressable LED
strip. The power pin (marked with a triangle on the plug) of the
LED strip must be connected to Pin 1 of the addressable LED
strip header. Incorrect connection may lead to the damage of
the LED strip.

Connect one end of the RGB LED strip extension cable to the
header and the other end to your RGB LED strip. The black wire
(marked with a triangle on the plug) of the extension cable must be
connected to Pin 1 (12V) of this header. The 12V pin (marked with
an arrow) on the other end of the extension cable must be lined
up with the 12V of the LED strip. Be careful with the connection
orientation of the LED strip; incorrect connection may lead to the
damage of the LED strip.
