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.

1. Before you insert the 1700-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP ca p is on the
socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the sock et. 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 four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channe l conguration, you always need to install identical (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
memory 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 motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incor rect
orientation.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCIe Slots)

ere are 3 PCIe 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 h ardware settings for the card before you start
the installation.

PCIe slots:

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. 24)

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.

2.8 CrossFireTM Operation Guide

is motherboard supports CrossFireTM that allows you to install up to two identical

PCI Express x16 graphics cards.

1. You should only use identical CrossFireTM-ready g raphics cards that are AM D
certied.

2. Make sure that your graphics card dr iver support s AMD CrossFireTM technology.
Download the drivers from the A MD’s website: www.amd.com

3. Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at l east the minimum
power your syste m require s. It is recommended to use a AMD certied PSU. Plea se
refer to the AMD’s website for d etail s.

4. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireTM Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will
operate a s 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireTM mode.

5. Dierent CrossFireTM cards may require dierent method s to enable CrossFireTM.
Please refer to A MD graphics card manuals for de tailed installation guide.

2.8.1 Installing Two CrossFireTM-Ready Graphics Cards

Step 1

Insert one graphics card into PCIE1 slot

and the other graphics card to PCIE3 slot.

Make sure that the cards are properly

seated on the slots.
