1-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the CPU to prevent hardware damage.

•Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

•Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.

•Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

1-3-1 Installing the CPU

A. Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Refer to the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (Actual installation process may differ depending the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)

Step 1:

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 3:

Use one hand to hold the cooler and the other to tighten the screws in a diagonal sequence with a screw driver. Begin tightening a screw with a few turns and repeat with the screw diagonally opposite the one you just tightened. Then do the same to the other pair. Next, fully tighten the four screws.

Step 2:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four mounting screws with the mounting holes on the ILM. (If your cooler has a fan grill which may cause interference when you tighten the screws, remove it first and replace it after tightening the screws.)

Step 4:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the motherboard.

Please pay more attention when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the CPU cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler

may damage the CPU.

1-4 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1 Four Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides sixteen DDR4 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory.

Enabling Four Channel memory mode will be four times of the original memory bandwidth.

The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into four channels each channel has two memory sockets as following:

Channel 1: DIMM_P0_A0/DIMM_P0_A1 (For pimary CPU)/ DIMM_P1_E0/DIMM_P1_E1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0/DIMM_P0_B1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_F0/DIMM_P1_F1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0/DIMM_P0_C1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_G0/DIMM_P1_G1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0/DIMM_P0_D1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_H0/DIMM_P1_H1 (For secondary CPU)

DIMM P1 E0 DIMM P1 E1 DIMM P1 F0 DIMM P1 F1

DIMM P1 H1 DIMM P1 H0 DIMM P1 G1 DIMM P1 G0

DIMM P0 C0 DIMM P0 C1 DIMM P0 D0 DIMM P0 D1

DIMM P0 B1 DIMM P0 B0 DIMM P0 A1 DIMM P0 A0

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.

1.Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.

2.When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

1/2/3) ATX1/P12V_AUX1/P12V_AUX2

(2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation. The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.

•To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

5/6/7/8/9/10/11) CPU_FAN0/CPU_FAN1/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_FAN3/SYS_FAN4/ SYS_FAN5 (CPU Fan/System Fan Headers)

The motherboard has two 4-pin CPU fan headers, and four 4-pin system fan headers. Most fan

headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives are configured, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.

• A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.

(Note) When a RAID configuration is built across the SATA 6Gb/s channels, the system performance of

the RAID configuration may vary depends on the devices are connected.
