Chapter 2 Installation
is is a Micro ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,
study the conguration 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 c ap
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 cables be fore installing the CPU.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)
is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identica l (the same
brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memor y Technology with only one or three
memor y module installed.
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 orie ntation. 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 .

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)
ere are 4 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.
PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.
* If PCIE2 is occupied, PCIE4 will downgrade to x2 mode.

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
“Open”.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRMOS1)
(see p.7, No. 15)
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. Aer 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 aer 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 prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is
removed. Please remember toremove the jumper cap aer clearing the CMOS.
2-pin Jumper
B360M Pro4
If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to clear the record of previou s chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
SPE AKE R
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.

PWRBTN (Power Switch):
Connec t to the power switch on the chassi s front panel. You may congure 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.
