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 inser t the 1700-Pin CPU into the socket, plea se 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
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.

2.3 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 identical (the same
brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 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 or DDR 3 memory module into a DDR4
slot; otherwise, thi s motherboard and DIMM may be d amaged.
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.

Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is
switched o or the power cord i s unplugged. Please read the document ation of the
expan sion card and mak e neces sary hardware settings for the card before you start
the installation.
PCIe slots:
PCIE1 (PCIe 4.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCIe x1 lane width cards.

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.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. Aer 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 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
H670M Pro RS
If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Plea se adjust the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to cl ear the record of pre vious chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumpe r caps over
these headers and conne ctors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and conn ectors
will cause per manent damage to the mothe rboard.
System Panel Header
(9-pin PANEL1)
(see p.6, No. 15)
PWRBTN (Power But ton):
Connec t to the power button on the chassis front panel. You may congure the way
to turn o your system using the power button.
RESET (Reset Button):
Connec t to the reset button on the chassis f ront panel. Pre ss the reset button to
restar t the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
PLED (Syste m Power LED):
Connec t to the power status indic ator on the chassis 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 S 4 sleep state or powered o (S5).
HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):
Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity L ED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on
when the hard drive i s reading or writing data.
e front panel design may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists
of power button, reset but ton, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc.
When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire
assig nments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

2.8 CrossFireXTM and Quad CrossFireXTM Operation Guide
is motherboard supports CrossFireXTM and Quad CrossFireXTM that allows you
to install up to three identical PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
1. You should only use identical CrossFireXTM-ready g raphics cards that are AMD
certied.
2. Make sure that your g raphics card driver supports AM D CrossFireXTM technology.
Download the dr ivers from the AMD’s website: www.amd.com
3. Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the minimum
power your system requires. It is recommende d to use a AMD certied PSU. Ple ase
refer to the AMD’s website for details.
4. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireXTM Edition card with a 16-pipe card , both cards will
operate a s 12-pipe cards while in Cros sFireXTM mode.
5. Dierent CrossFireXTM cards may require dierent methods to enable CrossFireXTM. Please refer to A MD graphics card manuals for detailed installation guide.
2.8.1 Installing Two CrossFireXTM-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.

CPU Conguration
CPU Turbo Ratio Information
is item allows users to browse the CPU Turbo Ratio information.
CPU Conguration
CPU P-Core Ratio
e CPU speed is determined by the CPU P-Core Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.
Increasing the CPU P-Core Ratio will increase the internal CPU clock speed
without aecting the clock speed of other components.
AVX2 Ratio Oset
AVX2 Ratio Oset species a negative oset from the CPU Ratio for AVX
workloads. AVX is a more stressful work load that lower the AVX ratio to ensure
maximum possible ratio for SSE workloads.
Page 62
Core Ratio Extension Mode
Enable or disable core ratio above 85 Extension mode.
[Enabled] Max overclocking ratio limit as specied by OCMB 0x1 command is 120
[Disabled] Max overclocking ratio limit as specied by OCMB 0x1 command is 85
CPU E-Core Ratio
e E-Core speed is determined by the E-Core Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.
Increasing the E-Core Ratio will increase the internal E-Core clock speed without
aecting the clock speed of other components.
Cluster 0 Max Ratio
Override ATOM Core 0 - 3 Maximum OC Ratio, maximum value up to 120.
Cluster 1 Max Ratio
Override ATOM Core 4 - 7 Maximum OC Ratio, maximum value up to 120.
CPU Cache Ratio
e CPU Internal Bus Speed Ratio. e maximum should be the same as the CPU
Ratio.
H670M Pro RS
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage enable/disable. When enabled, pcode will be aware
of the BCLK frequency when calculating the CPU V/F curves. is is ideal for
BCLK OC to avoid high voltage overrides.
Boot Performance Mode
Select the performance state that the BIOS will set before OS hando.
Ring to Core Ratio Oset
Disable Ring to Core Ratio Oset so the ring and core can run at the same fre-
quency.
Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel SpeedStep technology allows processors to switch between multiple frequen-
cies and voltage points for better power saving and heat dissipation.
