1.3 Unique Features

ASRock Rack Instant Flash is a BIOS ash utility embedded in Flash ROM. is con-

venient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operat-

ing systems rst like MS-DOS or Windows®. With this utility, you can press the <F6>

key during the POST or the <F2> key to enter into the BIOS setup menu to access

ASRock Rack Instant Flash. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS le to your

USB ash drive, oppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a

few clicks without preparing an additional oppy diskette or other complicated ash

utility. Please be noted that the USB ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12

le system.

Chapter 2 Installation

This is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6'' x 9.6'', 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard. Before

you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

Make sure to unplug the power c ord before installing or re moving the mothe rboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injurie s to you and d amages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you insta ll motherboard components or

change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard ’s components due to static electricity, NEVER

place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a

grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the compo-

nents.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in

the bag that comes with the component.

5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis,

please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched o or the power cord is detached f rom the power supply. Failure to d o so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

English

2.3 Installing the CPU

1. Before you in sert the 1151-Pin CPU into the sock et, please ch eck if the P nP cap is on the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. 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 c ables before in stalling the CPU.

2.5 Installation of 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g uration , you always need to in stall identical (the same b rand, speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memor y Technology with only one or thre e memor y module installed.

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

PCIE slot:

PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x8 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width 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 x16 lane width cards.

PCIE7 (PCIe 3.0 x4 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width cards.

*e M.2 slot (M2_1) is shared w ith the PCIE7 slot. When M2_1 is populated with a M.2 PCI Ex press module ,

PCIE7 is disabled.

Installing an expansion card

Step 1. Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power

supply is switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the

documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware

settings for the card before you start the insta llation.

Step 2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed

in a chassis).

Step 3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the

screws for later use.

Step 4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

Step 5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.

Step 6. Replace the system cover.

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.

If the connected SATA DOM does NOT require 5V powe r supply, connect the SATA DOM power cable to the SATA DOM power header (SATA_ PWR1) and there is no ne ed to change the default jumper setting of the SATA DOM Power Jumpe r (pins 2-3).

Warning! Incorrec t setting of the SATA DOM Power Jumper (SATAPWR1) may cause damage to the motherboard or your SATA DOM.

The M.2, a lso known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and

versatile card edge connec tor that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M.2

Socket (M2_1) supports a M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module or a M.2 PCI Express module up to

Gen 3 x4 (32Gb/s).

*e M.2 slot (M2_1) is shared w ith the PCIE7 slot and the SATA_0 connec tor. When M2_1 is populated with a

M.2 SATA3 module, SATA_ 0 is disabled .

Installing the M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module
