is is an EATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,
study the conguration 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
CAU TION:
Please note that X99 platform is only compatible with the LGA 2011-3 socket, which is
incompatible with the LGA 2011 socket (for X79 platform).
1. Before you insert the 2011-3 -Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap i s on
the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket . Do
not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.
2. Unplug all power c ables before ins talling the CPU.

above are fully installed, and you want to use more than four memory modules, please
install the other memory modules from le to right (from DDR4_A2, DDR4_B2,
DDR4_D2 to DDR4_C2.)
•
If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Dual
Channel Memory Technology is activated. If three memor y modules are installed, then
Triple Channel Memory Technology is activated. If more than four memory modules
are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Quad Channel Memory Technology is
activated.
1. For quad chann el conguration, you always ne ed to install identical (the same brand,
speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is not allowed to instal l a DDR, DDR2 or DDR 3 memory modul e into a DDR4 slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
3. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation . It will cause per manent damage to the
motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIM M into the slot at incorrect orientation.

Before installing an expansion c ard, please mak e sure that the powe r supply is switched o
or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion c ard and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.
For a better ther mal environment , please conne ct a chassis fan to the motherboard’s chassis fan connector (CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2 or CHA_ FAN3) when using multiple graphic s

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”. 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
(C LRC MO S1)
(see p.12, No. 38)
CLRCMOS1 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. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to
short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear
the CMOS right aer 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 prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is
removed.
Clear CMOS
Default
e Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS jumper.

(see p.12, No. 25)
Connect the power
switch, reset switch and
system status indicator on
the chassis to this header
according to the pin
assignments below. Note
the positive and negative
pins before connecting
the cables.

PWRBTN (Power Swi tch):
Connec t to the power switch on the chassis f ront panel. You may congure the way to turn
o your system using the powe r switch .
RESET (Reset Sw itch):
Connec t to the reset switch on the chassis f ront panel. Pre ss the reset switch to restart the
computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
PLED (Syste m Power LED):
Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassi s front panel. e LED is on when the
system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep state. e
LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).
HDLED (Ha rd Drive Activity LED):
Connec t to the hard drive ac tivity LED on the chassis f ront panel. e LED is on when the
hard drive is reading or writing data .
e front panel design may dier by chassis . A front panel module mainly consists of powe r
switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive a ctivity LED, speaker and etc. W hen connecting your ch assis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assig nments and the
pin assignments are matched correctly.
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT pla ce jumper caps over these
heade rs and connectors. Plac ing jumper caps over the hea ders and connectors will cause
permanent damage to the motherboard.
