Motherboard information

2.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

CAUTION!

• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any

component.

• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely

grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid

damaging them due to static electricity.

• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic

pad or in the bag that came with the component.

• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power

supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power

supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,

peripherals, or components.

2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1700 socket designed for

Intel® 12th Generation (Alder Lake-S) Core™ i9 / i7 / i5 / i3 E series and Intel® 13th

Generation (Raptor Lake-S) Core™ i9 / i7/ i5 / i3 E series Processors, 8+8 Cores

vPro 32EU, max. 125W TDPs.

LGA1700

IMPORTANT: Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

CAUTION!

• Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket only.

DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1700 socket.

• TheCPUtsinonlyonecorrectorientation.DONOTforcetheCPUinto

the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging

the CPU.

• Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on

the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer

immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the

PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder

the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the

motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1700 socket.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts

resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/

incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

Chapter 2: Motherboard information

2.4.1 Installing the CPU

CAUTION!

• Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket only.

DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1151, and

LGA1200 sockets on the LGA1700 socket.

• ASUS will not cover damages resulting from incorrect CPU installation/

removal, incorrect CPU orientation/placement, or other damages resulting

from negligence by the user.

CAUTION! Take caution

when lifting the load lever,

ensure to hold onto the load

lever when releasing the

load lever. Letting go of the

load lever immediately after

releasing it may cause the

load lever to spring back

and cause damage to your

motherboard.

The motherboard comes with Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots designed

for DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) memory modules.

CAUTION! A DDR5 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2,

DDR3, or DDR4 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, DDR3, or DDR4

memory module to the DDR5 slot.

2.6 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup

parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button

cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup

information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup

to reenter data.

CAUTION! Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on
