APU & Heatsink Installation

When installing a APU, always remember to install a APU heatsink. An APU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct APU and heatsink installation. Wrong installation can damage both the APU and the motherboard.

. Pull the lever sideways away from the socket. Make sure to raise the lever up to

a 90-degree angle.

2. Look for the gold arrow of the APU. The gold arrow should point as shown in the picture. The APU can only 󰘰t in the correct orientation.

3. If the APU is correctly installed, the pins should be completely embedded into the socket and can not be seen. Please note that any violation of the correct installation procedures may cause permanent damages to your motherboard.

4. Press the APU down 󰘰rmly into the socket and close the lever. As the APU is likely to move while the lever is being closed, always close the lever with your 󰘰ngers pressing tightly on top of the APU to make sure the APU is properly and completely embedded into the socket.

English

5

5. Locate the CPU fan connector on the motherboard.

6. Position the cooling set onto the retention mechanism. Hook one end of the clip to hook 󰘰rst.

7. Then press down the other end of the clip to fasten the cooling set on the top of the retention mechanism. Locate the Fix Lever and lift up it.

8. Fasten down the lever.

English

9. Attach the APU Fan cable to the APU fan connector on the motherboard.

Important

While disconnecting the Safety Hook from the 󰘰xed bolt, it is necessary to keep an

•

eye on your 󰘰ngers, because once the Safety Hook is disconnected from the 󰘰xed bolt, the 󰘰xed lever will spring back instantly.

Con󰘰rm that the APU cooler has formed a tight seal with the APU before booting

•

your system. Please refer to the documentation in the APU cooler package for more details

•

about APU cooler installation.

CPUFAN,SYSFAN: Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +2V. If the motherboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into any available system fan connector.

JTPM: TPM Module Connector

This connector connects to a TPM (Trusted Platform Module). Please refer to the TPM security platform manual for more details and usages.

JBAT: Clear CMOS Jumper

There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the motherboard to save system con󰘰guration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want to clear the system con󰘰guration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.

Important

You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is o󰘯. Afterwards, open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will damage the motherboard.

BIOS Setup

The default settings o󰘯er the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You may need to run the Setup program when:

An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and

■ requests you to run SETUP. You want to change the default settings for customized features.

■

Important

Please load the default settings to restore the optimal system performance and

•

stability if the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings. Select the "Restore Defaults" and press <Enter> in BIOS to load the default settings.

If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep the

•

default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due to inappropriate BIOS con󰘰guration.

Entering BIOS Setup

Power on the computer and the system will start the Power On Self Test (POST) process. When the message below appears on the screen, please <DEL> key to enter BIOS:

Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F to enter Boot Menu

If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS, restart the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the RESET button. You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

MSI additionally provides two methods to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the “GO2BIOS” tab on “MSI Fast Boot” utility screen or press the physical “GO2BIOS" button (optional) on the motherboard to enable the system going to BIOS setup directly at next boot.

Click "GO2BIOS" tab on "MSI Fast Boot" utility screen.
