(pre-installed on the rear I/O panel) that oers support for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ax Wi-Fi 6E

connectivity standards and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi 6E + BT module is an easy-to-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 Technolog y and ensures extraordinary

low power consumption for PCs.

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

* Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz band) will be supported by Microso® Windows® 11. e availability

will depend on the dierent regulation status of each country and region. It will be

activated (for supported countries) through Windows Update and so ware updates

once available.

Chapter 2 Installation

is is an EATX 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.

•

Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you 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.

2.2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Aer 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. Ma ke sure that the

CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.

Please turn o the power or remove th e power cord before changing a CPU or heatsink .

2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

is mot herboard provides eight 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots and

supports Eight Channel Memory Technology.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR 2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot; otherwise , this motherboard and DIM M may be damaged.

2. For eight channel conguration , you always need to in stall identical (the same brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

3. Some DDR4 1GB double-sided DIM Ms with 16 chips may not work on this motherboard. It is not recommended to install them on this motherboard.

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is

“O pen”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMO S1)

(see p.8, No. 25)

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. e data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup

parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please

turn o the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short

the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper

cap aer clearing the CMOS. 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.
