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.

English

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the P nP cap is on the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the sock et. Do not force to in sert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found . Otherwise, the CPU will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before in stalling the CPU.

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 in stall identical (the same brand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memor y Technology with only one or three memory module installed.

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

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.

English

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 6 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an ex pansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Please re ad the documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

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 x8 lane width graphics cards. PCIE5 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

PCIE6 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.

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”.

English

Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRCMO S1) (see p.1, No. 29)

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.

2-pin Jumper

Short: Clear CMOS Open: Default

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

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

ere are two headers on this motherboard. Each USB 3.1 Gen1 header can support two ports.

ere is one Front Panel Type C USB 3.1 Gen1 Header on this motherboard. is header is used for connecting a USB 3.1 Gen1 module for additional USB 3.1 Gen1 ports.

is header is for connecting audio devices to the front audio panel.

1. High Denition Audio supports Jack Sensing, but the panel wire on the chassis must support HDA to function correctly. Please follow the instructions in our manual and chassis manual to install your system.

2. If you use an AC’97 audio panel , please install it to the front panel audio header by the steps below: A. Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_ L. B. Conne ct Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R and Audio_ L (LIN) to OUT2_ L. C. Connect Ground (GND) to Ground (GND). D. MIC_ RET and OUT_RET are for the HD audio panel only. You don’t need to connect them for the AC’97 audio panel . E. To activate the front mic, go to the “FrontMic” Tab in the Realtek Control panel and adjust “Recording Volume”.

2.7 M.2 WiFi/BT Module and Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/BT) Installation Guide

e M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. e M.2 Socket (Key E) supports type 2230 WiFi/BT module and Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/BT). * e M.2 socket does not support SATA M.2 SSDs.

Before you install Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) module, be sure to turn o the AC power.

Installing the WiFi/BT module or Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/BT)

Step 1

Prepare a type 2230 WiFi/BT module or Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/BT) and the screw.

PCB Length: 3cm Module Type: Type2230

Step 2

Find the nut location to be used.

English

Step 3

Gently insert the WiFi/BT module or Intel® CNVi (Integrated WiFi/ BT) into the M.2 slot. Please be aware that the module only ts in one

orientation.

English

Step 4

Tighten the screw with a screwdriver to secure the module into place. Please do not overtighten the screw as this might damage the module.
