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 inser t the 1718-Pin CPU into the sock et, please check if the P nP 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 insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found.
Other wise, the CPU wil l be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

Aer you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger

heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the

CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.

Please turn o the power or remove the power cord before chang ing a CPU or heatsink .

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 288-pin DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

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

brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR5 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual C hannel Memory Technology with only one memory
module installed.

3. It is not allowed to in stall a DDR, DDR2 , DDR3 or DDR4 memory module into a
DDR5 slot; otherwise, this motherboard an d DIMM may be damaged.

4. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It w ill cause per manent d amage to
the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.

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

“Open”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1) (see p.6, No. 14)

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. e data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup

parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please

turn o the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short

the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper

cap aer clearing the CMOS. 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.
