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 conguration 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.

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 cong 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.

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.
