Chapter 2 Installation
is is an 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 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
Aer 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 four 288-pin DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel conguration, 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 or three
memor y 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

ASRock BIOS Flashback feature allows you to update BIOS without powering on t he system,
even wit hout CPU.
Before u sing the BIOS Flashback function, plea se suspend BitLocker and any encryption or security relying on the TPM. Make sure that you have already stored and
backup -ed the recovery key. If the recover y key is missing while encryption is ac tive,
the data w ill stay encrypted and the syste m will not boot into the operating system . It
is recommended to disable fTPM before updating the BIOS. Otherwise an unpredictable failure may occ ur.
To use the USB BIOS Flashback f unction, Please follow the steps below.
1. Download the latest BIOS le from ASRock 's website : http://ww w.asrock.com.
2. Copy t he BIOS le to your USB ash d rive. Please make sure the le system of
your USB ash drive must be FAT32.
3. Extract BIOS le from the zip le.
4. Rename the le to “creative.rom” and save it to t he root director y of X: USB ash drive.
5. Plug the 24 pin power connector to the motherboard. en turn on the power supply's AC
switch.

*If the LED light turns solid green, this means that the BIOS Flashback is not
operating properly. Please make sure that you plug the USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback
