Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Proprietary 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.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM

slots.

It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot;
otherwise , this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.

e SO-DIMM only ts in one cor rect orientation. It w ill cau se permanent damage to
the mothe rboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the sl ot at incorrect
orientation.

1. Carefully insert the SO-DIMM memory modules into the slot at a 30-degree angle.

2. Push down until the modules snap into place.

2.4 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”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRMO S1)

(see p.6, No. 1)

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 pin2 and pin3 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.

useful utilities that enhance the motherboard’s features.

Running The Support CD

To begin using the support CD, insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. e CD

automatically displays the Main Menu if “AUTORUN” is enabled in your computer.

If the Main Menu does not appear automatically, locate and double click on the le

“ASRSETUP.EXE” in the Support CD to display the menu.

Drivers Menu

e drivers compatible to your system will be auto-detected and listed on the

support CD driver page. Please click Install All or follow the order from top to

bottom to install those required drivers. erefore, the drivers you install can work

properly.

is section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to congure your

system. You may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY by pressing <F2> or <Del> right

aer you power on the computer, other wise, the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) will

continue with its test routines. If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY aer

POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the

reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system o

and then back on.

Becau se the UEFI soware is constantly being upd ated, the following UEFI setup screens
and descriptions are for reference purpose only, and they may not ex actly match what you
see on your screen .

Becau se the UEFI soware is constantly being upd ated, the following UEFI setup
screens and de scriptions are for reference purpose only, and they may not exactly
match what you see on your scre en.

CPU Frequency and Voltage(VID) Change

If this item is set to [Manual], the multiplier and voltage will be set based on user selection.

Final result is depending on the CPU's capability.

CPU Core (Per CCX)

CPU Voltage

Species a custom CPU core voltage (mV), Should be combined with a custom CPU core

frequency. Power saving features for idle cores (e.g. cc6 sleep) remain active.

CCD0

CCX0 Frequency (MHz)

Use this item to adjust CCX0 Frequency.

English

CCX1 Frequency (MHz)

Use this item to adjust CCX1 Frequency.

CCD1

CCX0 Frequency (MHz)

Use this item to adjust CCX0 Frequency.

CCX1 Frequency (MHz)

Use this item to adjust CCX1 Frequency.

SoC/Uncore OC Voltage(VID)

Specify the SoC/Uncore voltage (VDD_SOC) in mV to support memory and Innity Fabric

overclocking. VDD_SOC also determines the GPU voltage on processors with integrated

graphics. “SoC/Uncore OC Mode” needs to be enabled to force this voltage.

CLD0 VDDP Voltage Control

AMD Overclocking Setup VDDP is a voltage for the DDR4 bus signaling (PHY), and it is

derived from your DRAM Voltage (VDDIO_Mem). As a result, VDDP voltage in mV can

approach but not exceed your DRAM Voltage.

CLD0 VDDG CCD Voltage Control

AMD Overclocking Setup VDDG CCD represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity

Fabric. It is derived from the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach

but not exceed VDD_SOC.

CLD0 VDDG IOD Voltage Control

AMD Overclocking Setup VDDG IOD represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity

Fabric. It is derived from the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach

but not exceed VDD_SOC.

Core Performance Boost

Core Performance Boost (CPB) allows you to determine whether to enable the Core

Performance Boost (CPB) technology, a CPU performance-boost technology.

Global C-state Control

is option controls IO based C-state generation and DF C-states.

MCLK. Manual: FCLK must be less than or equal to MCLK for best performance in

most cases. Latency penalties are incurred if FCLK and MCLK are mismatched, but

suciently high MCLK can negate or overcome this penalty.

DRAM Timing Conguration

Voltage Conguration
