Chapter 2 Installation

is is a Micro 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.

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP c ap is on the socket, if the CPU sur face is unclean, or if there are any b ent pins in the socket. Do not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Other wise, the CPU will be seriously d amaged.

2. Unplug all power cables be fore installing 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 install 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.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 4 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. Plea se read the documentation of the expan sion card and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards. PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width 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.

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”.

Clear CMOS Jumper (CLRMOS1) (see p.1, No. 17)

CLRMOS1 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. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short the pins on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right aer 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 prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed. Please remember toremove the jumper cap aer clearing the CMOS.

2-pin Jumper

Z390M Pro4

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detec ted. Please adjust the BIOS option “Clear Status” to clear the record of previou s chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

SPE AKE R

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.

System Panel Header (9-pin PANEL1) (see p.1, No. 19)

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connec t to the power switch on the chassi s front panel. You may congure the way to turn o your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Switch):

Connec t to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset sw itch to restart the computer if the compute r freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (Syste m Power LED):

Connec t to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED i s on when the system is ope rating. e LED keeps blinking when the system i s 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 activity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the hard drive i s reading or writing data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard dr ive activity LED, speak er and etc. When connecting your chassis front panel module to this head er, make sure the wire assig nments and the pin assig nments are matched correctly.

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.

Step 2

Find the nut location to be used.

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.

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.

2.8 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide (M2_1 and

M2_2)

The M.2 , also know n as the Ne xt Gener ation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M. 2 S ocket (M2_1) sup ports M Key ty pe 2230/2242 /2260/2280 M.2 PCI Ex press module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s). The Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_2) supports M Key ty pe 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) * Please be noted that if M2_2 is occupied, SATA3_4 and SATA3_5 will be disabled.

Installing the M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module

Step 1

Prepare a M.2_SSD (NGFF) module and the screw.

Step 3

Move the stando based on the

BCD

module type and length. e stando is placed at the nut location D by default. Skip Step 3 and 4 and go straight to Step 5 if you are going to use the default nut. Otherwise, release the stando by hand.

Step 4

Peel o the yellow protective lm on the nut to be used. Hand tighten the stando into the desired nut location on the motherboard.

Step 5

Gently insert the M.2 (NGFF) SSD module into the M.2 slot. Please be aware that the M.2 (NGFF) SSD module only ts in one orientation.

Step 6

Tighten the screw with a screwdriver
