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.

•

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 Fan and Heatsink

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. Make sure that the

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

Please turn o the power or remove the power cord be fore changing a CPU or heatsink .

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 identical (the same

brand, speed, size and chip-ty pe) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology w ith only one or three
memory module installed.

3. It is not allowed to instal l a DDR, DDR2 or DDR 3 memory modul e into a DDR4
slot; otherwise, thi s motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

4. We sugge st that you install the memory modules on DDR4_ A2 and DDR4_B2 rst
for better DRA M compatibility on 2 DIMMs conguration.

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

“O pen”.

English

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLR CMOS1)

(see p.9, No. 22)

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.

e Clear CMOS Button has the same func tion as the Clear CMOS jumpe r.

Overclock Mode(Bus Speed)

Select the overclock mode. Warning! When overclocking also the PCIe, PCI, SATA and

USB busses will be overcloked which may cause instability or failure. Please install an

operating system and the drivers required before overclocking, or else your HDD's may be

undetectable. Overclocking is not supported if the monitor is connected via the onboard

D-Bus/VGA connector.

SB Clock Spread Spectrum

Enable Spread Spectrum to reduce electromagnetic interference for passing EMI

tests. Disable to achieve higher clock speeds when overclocking.

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.

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.

Innity Fabric Frequency and Dividers

AMD Overclocking Setup Set Innity Fabric frequency (FCLK). Auto: FCLK = 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.
