Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures:

•Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

•Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

•Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

•Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

Hardware Installation

1-3 Installing and Removing the CPU and Heat Sink

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.

•Unplug all cables from the power outlets.

•Disconnect all telecommunication cables from their ports.

•Place the system unit on a flat and stable surface.

•Open the system according to the instructions.

WARNING!

Failure to properly turn off the server before you start installing components may cause serious damage. Do not attempt the procedures described in the following sections unless you are a

qualified service technician.

Follow these instructions to Install the CPU:

1.Loosen the three captive screws in sequential order (1g2g3) securing the CPU cover.

2.Flip open the CPU cover.

3.Remove the CPU cap with CPU from the CPU frame using the handle on the CPU cap.

4.Using the handle on the CPU cap insert the new CPU cap with CPU installed into the CPU frame. Note: Ensure that the CPU is installed in the CPU cap in the correct orientation, with the gold triangle

on the CPU aligned to the top left corner of the CPU cap.

5 Flip the CPU frame with CPU installed into place in the CPU socket.

1-4 Installing and Removing 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 8-Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides 16 DDR4 memory slots and supports 8-Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory.

Read the following guidelines before connecting external devices:

•First make sure your devices are compliant with the connectors you wish to connect.

•Before installing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.

•After installing the device and before turning on the computer, make sure the device cable has been securely attached to the connector on the motherboard.

Hardware Installation

1/2/3) ATX/ATX_12V (2x12 Main Power Connector and 2x4 12V 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.

4/5/6/7/8/9) CPU0_FAN//SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_FAN3/SYS_FAN4/SYS_FAN5 (CPU FAN/System FAN Headers)

The motherboard has one 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN), and two 4-pin (SYS_FAN) 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.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the EFI on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters, loading the operating system etc. The BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <DEL> key during the POST when the power is turned on.

•BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter any problems when using the current BIOS version, it is recommended that you don't flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. (Refer to the Exit section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in

Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
