is is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study

the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

•

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard

components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard

components.

•

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded

wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

•

Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

•

Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

in the bag that comes with the components.

•

When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation

Z370 Extreme4

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the

socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not

force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU

will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
