3.6 How to Install the Memory Modules

(DDR4)

1. e 4X4 BOX-4000 Serie s requires DDR4 SO-DIMM.

2. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identic al (the same brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 SO-DIMM pairs.

e SO-DIMM only ts in one cor rect orientation. It w ill cau se permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

1. Carefully insert the SO-DIMM memory modules into the slot at a 30-degree angle.

2. Push down until the modules snap into place.

4.3 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(3-pin CLRMOS1)

(see p.8, No. 8)

Clear CMOSDefault

Note: CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the

system parameters to default setup, please turn o󰀨 the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However,

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need

to clear the CMOS when you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up

the system rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.

Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole and MAC

address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

jumper caps over these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps

over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage of the

motherboard!

positive and negative pins before connecting the cables.

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may congure

the way to turn o󰀨 your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Switch):

Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset

switch to restart the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a

normal restart.

PLED (System Power LED):

Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED

is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the sys-

tem is in S1 sleep state. The LED is o󰀨 when the system is in S3/S4 sleep

state or powered o󰀨 (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED

is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data.

The front panel design may di󰀨er by chassis. A front panel module mainly

consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED,

speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this

header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assign-ments are

matched correctly.

Chapter 6 UEFI Setup Utility

6.1 Introduction

This section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to congure your

system. The UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. You

may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press

<F2> or <Del> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUP

UTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.

If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system by

pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system

chassis. You may also restart by turning the system o󰀨 and then back on.

Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, the

following UEFI setup screens and descriptions are for reference

purpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see on

your screen.

6.1.1 UEFI Menu Bar

The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections:

Use < > key or < > key to choose among the selections on the menu

bar, and then press <Enter> to get into the sub screen. You can also use the

mouse to click your required item.

To set up the system time/date information

6.3 Advanced Screen

In this section, you may set the congurations for the following items: CPU Congu-

ration, Chipset Conguration, Storage Conguration, Super IO Conguration, ACPI

Conguration, USB Conguration, Trusted Computing, MCTP Conguration and Se-

rial Port Console Redirection.

Setting wrong values in this section may cause

the system to malfunction.

DASH Support

Enable or disable Realtek Lan DASH Function.

Instant Flash

Instant Flash is a UEFI ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This conve-

nient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI without entering

operating systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. Just launch this tool

and save the new UEFI le to your USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your UEFI only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash utility. Please

be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 le

system. If you execute Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the UEFI

les and their respective information. Select the proper UEFI le to update

your UEFI, and reboot your system after UEFI update process completes.

6.3.1 CPU Conguration

Cool ‘n‘ Quiet

Use this item to enable or disable AMD’s Cool ‘n’ QuietTM technology.

The default value is [Enabled]. Conguration options: [Enabled] and [Dis-

abled]. If you install Windows® OS and want to enable this function, please

set this item to [Enabled]. Please note that enabling this function may re-

duce CPU voltage and memory frequency, and lead to system stability or

compatibility issue with some memory modules or power supplies. Please

set this item to [Disable] if above issue occurs.

Core Performance Boost

Core Performance Boost controls whether the processor transitions to a
