SafetyInformation
∙∙ The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful computer assembly.
∙∙ Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start.
∙∙ Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components. ∙∙ It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when
handling the motherboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is not available, discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object before handling the motherboard.
∙∙ Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static pad whenever the motherboard is not installed.
∙∙ Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case.
∙∙ Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause permanent damage to the components as well as injury to the user.
∙∙ If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer technician.
∙∙ Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing any computer component.
∙∙ Keep this user guide for future reference. ∙∙ Keep this motherboard away from humidity.
∙∙ Make sure that your electrical outlet provides the same voltage as is indicated on the PSU, before connecting the PSU to the electrical outlet.
∙∙ Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord.
∙∙ All cautions and warnings on the motherboard should be noted.
∙∙ If any of the following situations arises, get the motherboard checked by service personnel:

Important
∙∙ When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset
BIOS to default values due to the AM4 processor’s architecture.
∙∙ Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
∙∙ When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
∙∙ Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
∙∙ Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
∙∙ If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.

Important
∙∙ Always insert memory modules in the DIMMB1 slot first.
∙∙ Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
∙∙ Based on processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the processor.
∙∙ Due to AM4 CPU/memory controller official specification limitation,the frequency of memory modules may operate lower than the marked value under the default state. Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.

∙∙ When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card’s documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software changes.
∙∙ If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation of the slot.

14 Overview of Components
CPU_FAN1,SYS_FAN1:FanConnectors
PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. When you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a fan connector in PWM mode, the fan speed will always maintain at 100%, which might create a lot of noise.
