Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Micro 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.

English

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into th e socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the socket, if the CPU sur face is unclean, or if th ere are any b ent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situ ation is found. Other wise, the CPU wil l be seriously d amaged.

2. Unplug all power c ables before in stalling the CPU.

B250M-HDV

English

Please save and replace the cover if the processor i s removed. e cover must be placed if you wish to return the motherboard for aer service.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identic al (the same

brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Du al Channel Memory Technology with only one memory module instal led.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent dam age to the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incor rect orientation .

B250M-HDV

English

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere is 1 PCI slot and 3 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Plea se read the documentation of the expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

B250M-HDV

English

2.5 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these header s and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.

System Panel Header

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connec t to the power switch on the chassi s front panel. You may congure the way to turn o your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Switch):

Connec t to the reset switch on the chassi s front panel. P ress the reset sw itch to restart the computer if the compute r freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):

Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED i s on when the system is ope rating. e LED keeps blinking when the system i s in S1/S3 sleep state. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):

Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the hard drive i s reading or writing data.

e front panel de sign may dier by chassis. A front pane l module mainly consists of power switch , reset switch, power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speak er and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this head er, make sure the wire assig nments and the pin assig nments are matched correctly.
