Chapter 2 Installation

is is an 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.

2.4 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

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

supports Quad Channel Memory Technology.

1. For quad chann el cong uration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,
speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 sl ot;
otherwise , this motherboard and DIM M may be damaged.

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

channel, die, and socket has requirements on memory populations and it will be ignored if

the memory doesn't support the selected option.

Memory interleaving size

Controls the memory interleaving size. e valid values are AUTO, 256 bytes, 512 bytes, 1

Kbytes or 2Kby tes. is determines the starting address of the interleave (bit 8, 9, 10 or 11).

Channel interleaving hash

Controls whether or not the address bits are hashed during channel interleave mode. is

eld should not be used unless the interleaving is set to channel and the interleaving size is

256 or 512 bytes.
