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.

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1700-Pin CPU into the socket, ple ase check if the P nP cap is on the socket, if the CPU sur face is unclean, or if th ere are any b ent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situ ation is found. Other wise, the CPU wil l be seriously d amaged.

2. Unplug all power cables be fore 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 conguration, you always need to install identica l (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 memor y 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.

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 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.

PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x4 lane width graphics 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. 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-pin Jumper

H670M Pro RS

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option “Clear Status” to clear the record of previou s chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

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

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 ide ntical CrossFireXTM-ready g raphics cards that are AM D certied.

2. Make sure that your g raphics card driver supports AMD CrossFireXTM 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 least th e 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 CrossFireXTM Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will operate a s 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireXTM mode.

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