with the package.

Step 2

Connect the two WiFi 2.4/5 GHz Antennas to

the antenna connectors. Turn the antenna clock-

wise until it is securely connected.

Step 3

Set the WiFi 2.4/5 GHz Antenna as shown in the

*You may need to adjust the direction of

the antenna for a stronger signal.

English

Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Mini-ITX 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.

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 in sert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.

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

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g uration , you always need to in stall identical (the same b rand,

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

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

installed.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 sl ot;

otherwise , this motherboard and DIM M may be damaged..

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

2.4 Expansion Slot (PCI Express Slot)

ere is 1 PCI Express slot on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o
or the power cord is unplug ged. Pl ease read the documentation of the expansion card and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slot:

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

2.5 Jumpers Setup

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

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

“O pen”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRMO S1)

(see p.6, No. 14)

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. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short the pins on CLR MOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the

CMOS right aer 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, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed. Please remember toremove the jumper cap aer clearing the CMOS.

2-pin Jumper

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option “Clear
Status” to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

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