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 (DIMM)
is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,
and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.
1. For dual channel conguration, 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 with only one or three
memory module installed.
3. It is not allowed to in stall a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4
slot; otherwi se, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged .
e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent dam age to
the mothe rboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI and PCI Express Slots)
ere is 1 PCI slot and 5 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.
Before installing an expansion c ard, ple ase make sure that the power supply is
switched o or the power cord is unplug ged. Please read the documentation of the
expan sion card and mak e necessary hardware settings for the card before you star t
the installation.
PCI slot:
e PCI1 is used to install expansion cards that have 32-bit PCI interface.
PCIe slots:
PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE5 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
*If PCIE5 slot or PCI slot is occupied, PCIE4 slot will run at x2 mode.

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”.

Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLR CMOS1)
(see p.7, No. 21)
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 aer 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.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors
Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over
these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors
will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.

(see p.7, No. 14)
PWRBTN (Power But ton):
Connec t to the power button on the cha ssis front panel. You may congure the way to
turn o your system using the power button.
RESET (Reset Button):
Connec t to the reset button on the chassis f ront panel. Pre ss the reset button to
restar t the computer if the computer freezes and fails to per form 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 whe n the system is in S1/S3 sleep
state. e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powe red 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 power button, reset but ton, power LED, h ard drive activity LED, speaker and etc.
