is motherboard comes with an exclusive 802.11 a/b/g/n/ax Wi-Fi 6E + BT module
(pre-installed on the rear I/O panel) that oers support for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ax Wi­Fi 6E connectivity standards and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi 6E + BT module is an easy­to-use wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter to support Wi-Fi 6E + BT.
Bluetooth standard features Smart Ready technology that adds a whole new class of
functionality into the mobile devices. BT also includes Low Energy Technology and
ensures extraordinary low power consumption for PCs.

* e transmission speed may vary according to the environment.

* Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz band) is not currently enabled by default due to the dierent
regulation status of each country. It will be activated (for supported countries)
through Windows Update and soware update once available. e update is
expected to be in the middle of 2021.

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 1700-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 insert the CPU into the socket if above situation i s found.
Other wise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing 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guration, you always need to install identical (the same
brand, speed, size and chip-ty pe) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual 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
slot; otherwi se, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged .

e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to
the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.

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
(CLR MOS1)
(see p.1, No. 16)

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 CLRMOS1 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.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

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

System Panel Header
(9-p in PA NEL1)
(see p.1, No. 14)

PWRBTN (Power Swi tch):

Connec t to the power switch on the chassis f ront panel. You may congure the way to
turn o your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Sw itch):
Connec t to the reset switch on the cha ssis front panel. Press the reset switch to restar t
the computer if the computer f reezes and fails to per form a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):
Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassi s front panel. e LED is on when
the system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep
state. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powe red o (S5).

HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):
Connec t to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis f ront panel. e LED is on
when the hard drive is reading or writing data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis . A front panel module mainly consists
of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc.
When connecting your cha ssis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire
assig nments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

Connect the power
switch, reset switch and
system status indicator on
the chassis to this header
according to the pin
assignments below. Note
the positive and negative
pins before connecting
the cables.

must support HDA to function correctly. Plea se follow the instructions in our
manual and chassis manual to install your system.

2. If you use an AC’97 audio panel, please in stall it to the front panel audio header by
the steps below:
A. Connect Mic_ IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.
B. Conne ct Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2 _R and Audio_ L (LIN) to OUT2_ L.
C. Connect Ground (GND) to Ground (GND).
D. MIC_ RET and OUT_RET are for the HD audio panel only. You don’t need to
connect them for the AC’97 audio panel.
E. To activate the front mic, go to the “FrontMic” Tab in the Realtek Control panel
and adjust “Recording Volume”.
