Hardware Information
2.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

Chapter 2: Hardware Information |
2.2Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
To optimize the motherboard features, we highly recommend that you install it in an ATX 1.1 compliant chassis.
Ensure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components!
2.2.1Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, ensure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
2.2.2Screw holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
DO NOT overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

2.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v5 and Intel® Core™ i3 processor.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and
the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-related.
•The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
2.3.1Installing the CPU
To install the CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, ensure that the socket box is facing toward you and the load lever is on your right.
ASUS P10S-I |
2-7 |
2.Press the load lever with your thumb
(A), then move it to the right (B) until it is released from the retention tab.
Do not remove the PnP cap yet from the CPU socket. Doing so may bend the pins of the socket.
3.Lift the load lever until the load plate is completely lifted.

7.Apply some Thermal Interface Material
to the exposed area of the CPU that the heatsink will be in contact with, ensuring that it is evenly spread in a thin layer.
Some heatsinks come with preapplied Thermal Interface Material. If so, skip this step.
The Thermal Interface Material is toxic and inedible. DO NOT eat it. If it gets into your eyes or touches your skin, wash it off immediately and seek professional medical help.
ASUS P10S-I |
2-9 |
2.3.2Installing the CPU heatsink
The Intel® LGA1151 processor requires a specially designed CPU heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
•When you buy a boxed Intel® processor, a specially designed CPU heatsink or a
CPU heatsink with a CPU fan assembly is included depending on the package. If you buy a CPU separately, ensure that you use only Intel® certified multi directional CPU heatsink or CPU heatsink with CPU fan.
•Use an LGA1151-compatible CPU heatsink and CPU fan assembly only. The LGA1151 socket is incompatible with the LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets in size and dimension.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, ensure that the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.
Ensure that you have installed the motherboard to the chassis before you install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly.
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four fasteners match the holes on the motherboard.
2. Push down two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to secure the heatsink and fan assembly in place.
Orient the heatsink and fan assembly such that the CPU fan cable is closest to the CPU fan connector.
3.Connect the CPU fan cable to the connector on the motherboard labeled CPU_FAN1.
DO NOT forget to connect the CPU fan connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector.
2-10 |
Chapter 2: Hardware Information |
2.3.3Uninstalling the CPU heatsink and fan
To uninstall the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.Disconnect the CPU fan cable from the connector on the motherboard.
2. Rotate each fastener counterclockwise.
3.Pull up two fasteners at a time in a diagonal sequence to disengage the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
4.Carefully remove the heatsink and fan assembly from the motherboard.
2.3.4Installing the CPU heatsink in rack
The Intel® LGA1151 processor requires a specially designed heatsink to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.
• Ensure that you use qualified heatsink assembly only.
•Ensure that you have applied the thermal interface material to the top of the CPU before installing the heatsink and fan.
1. Peel off the sticker on the heatsink metal plate and affix the plate to the back of the motherboard, matching the standoffs to the heatsink screw holes.
ASUS P10S-I |
2-11 |
2.Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten
the four heatsink screws using the recommended sequence below.
•Ensure that the heatsink is not skewed or tilted, otherwise the CPU will overheat.
•Do not overtighten the screws. Doing so can damage the CPU.

2.4System memory
2.4.1Overview
The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:
2.4.2Memory configurations
You may install Unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
