2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any
motherboard settings.
NOTE: The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. The motherboard layout may vary with models.
IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may require additional purchase. Refer to Package
contents section for more information about the contents of your Industrial motherboard package.
WARNING!
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal
object, such as the power supply case, 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 ATX 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, or components.

2.4 Onboard jumpers
1. Clear RTC RAM jumper
The Clear RTC RAM jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in the CMOS, which contains
the date, time, system passwords, and system setup parameters.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Short-circuit pin 1-2 with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.
WARNING! DO NOT remove the jumper cap from its default position except when clearing the RTC RAM.
Removing the jumper cap will cause system boot failure!
NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell battery and move the jumper again
to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button cell battery.

IMPORTANT!
• Ensure that your hands are dry before proceeding with the rest of the installation process. Before
installing any of the features in this guide, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object
or metal object to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
• Turn off the power of your Industrial motherboard, and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before
performing any installation/uninstallation process.
NOTE: The illustrations in this section are for reference only. The slots may vary depending on model.
3.1 Installing memory modules
Your motherboard comes with a SO-DIMM memory slot that allow you to install a DDR4 SO-DIMM.
1. Press the retaining clips outward to unlock the memory slot.
2. Align a memory module to the slot such that the notch on the memory module matches the memory slot
key on the socket.
NOTE: A memory module is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a memory
module into a slot in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the memory module.
3. Push the memory module into the memory slot until both retaining clips snap back into place to ensure the
memory module is securely seated in place.

Page 40
4.1 Getting to know your BIOS
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings such as Storage Device
Configuration, Advanced Power Management, and Boot Device Configuration that are needed for system
startup. Under normal circumstances, the default BIOS settings apply to most conditions to ensure optimal
performance. DO NOT change the default BIOS settings except in the following circumstances:
• An error message appears on the screen during the system bootup and requests you to run the BIOS setup.
• You have installed a new system component that requires further BIOS settings or update.
WARNING! Inappropriate BIOS settings may result to instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that
you change the BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.
NOTE:

4.9 Updating your BIOS
The following utilities allow you to manage and update the motherboard Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
setup:
1. ASUS CrashFree BIOS
To recover the BIOS using a bootable USB flash disk drive when the BIOS file fails or gets corrupted.
2. ASUS EzFlash
Updates the BIOS using a USB flash disk.
4.9.1 ASUS CrashFree BIOS
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS file when it fails or gets
corrupted during the updating process. You can update a corrupted BIOS file using a USB flash drive that
contains the updated BIOS file.
IMPORTANT! Prepare a USB flash drive containing the updated BIOS before using ASUS CrashFree BIOS.
Recovering the BIOS from a USB flash drive
To recover the BIOS from a USB flash drive:
1. Insert the USB flash drive with the original or updated BIOS file to a USB port on the system.
2. Reset the system, the system should auto-detect your USB flash drive and check if a compatible BIOS file is
available.
3. Select your USB flash drive, then select the BIOS file to begin the recovery.
4. Once the recovery process is completed, your system should reset.
WARNING! DO NOT shut down or reset the system while recovering the BIOS! Doing so would cause system
boot failure!
NOTE: The recovered BIOS may not be the latest BIOS version for this motherboard. Visit the ASUS website
at www.asus.com to download the latest BIOS file.
4.9.2 ASUS EzFlash Utility
The ASUS EzFlash Utility feature allows you to update the BIOS using a USB flash disk without having to use a
DOS-based utility.
IMPORTANT! Download the latest BIOS from the ASUS website at www.asus.com before using this utility.
NOTE: The succeeding BIOS screens are for reference only. The actual BIOS screen displays may not be the
same as shown.
64
Industrial motherboard
Page 65
To update the BIOS using EzFlash Utility:
1. Insert the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS file to the USB port.
2. Enter the BIOS setup program. Go to the Advanced menu to select Start ASUS EzFlash and press <Enter>
to enter EZ-Flash mode.
WARNING! Ensure to back up your Bitlocker recovery key and suspend Bitlocker encryption in the operating
system before updating your BIOS.
3. Your system should reboot and enter EZ-Flash mode.
4. Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the USB flash disk that contains the latest BIOS then press <Enter>.
5. Press the Up/Down arrow keys to find the BIOS file then press <Enter>.
6. Your system will reboot when the update process is done.
WARNING
• This function can support devices such as a USB flash disk with FAT 32/16 format and single partition only.
• DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot failure!
