Introduction to the AM4 CPU

The surface of the AM4 CPU has a yellow triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The yellow triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.

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.

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. MSI operation beyond product specifications.

DIMMA2 DIMMA2 DIMMA2

DIMMB1

DIMMA1

Important

Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.

Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less

than the amount of installed.

Based on the processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is

suggested to protect the processor.

Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.

It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.

The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

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.

* For Ryzen™ 1st and 2nd Generation processors ** For Ryzen™ with Radeon Vega Graphics processors

Important

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.

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.

CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1~2: Fan Connectors

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. 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. You can follow the instruction below to adjust the fan connector to PWM or DC Mode. However, with autodetection mode fan connectors, the system will auto detect the fan mode.

The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. You should always keep the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting unless you are familiar with BIOS.

Important

BIOS items are continuously update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly different from the latest BIOS and should be for reference only. You could also refer to the HELP information panel for BIOS item description.

The pictures in this chapter are for reference only and may vary from the product you purchased.

The BIOS items will vary with the processor.

Initializing Disks

New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk.

Important

If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initialize the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize.

A legacy disk can contain valid data. When a legacy disk is initialized, all data on the disk is lost.

To initialize disks

1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility.

2. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Advanced > RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility > Physical

Disk Management > Select Physical Disk Operations > Initialize Disk sub-menu.

3. Select desired disks by changing the Physical Disk setting to Enabled.

4. Select OK, then press Enter.

5. Review the warning message, if you want to proceed, select YES, then press Enter.

6. Initialization takes 10 to 15 seconds per disk. During initialization, a complete

rescan of all channels is done automatically.

AMD RAID Conﬁguration

Creating Arrays

Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized.

Important

For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a bootable array or a data array.

Array numbers are valid only for a given boot and might be different in the RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility and RAIDXpert2. If a permanent label is required, use the RAIDXpert2 Web GUI Array Naming feature.

At any point in the procedure, return to a prior window by pressing ESC.

If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the Arrays section must be the bootable array. The system boots only from the first array in the Arrays section.

To create an array

1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility.

2. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Advanced > RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility > Array

Management > Create Array sub-menu.

3. Select the RAID level from the Select RAID Level drop down menu.

4. Enter Select Physical Disks sub-menu, select member disks by changing the

Physical Disk setting to Enabled.

5. Select Apply Changes, then press Enter to apply and go back to previous sub-

menu.

6. Change the Select CacheTagSize, Read Cache Policy and Write Cache Policy

settings according to your needs.

7. Select Create Array, then press Enter.

Deleting Arrays

Important

Deleting an array permanently destroys all data that is on the array. This action cannot be undone and it is very unlikely that the data can be recovered.

Do not delete the first array listed in the Arrays section, if it is the AMD-RAID bootable array. Doing this deletes the operating system and AMD-RAID files.

To delete an array

1. As previously mentioned, enable RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility.

2. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Advanced > RAIDXpert2 Configuration Utility > Array

Management > Delete Array sub-menu.

3. Select the desired array and change the setting to Enabled.

4. Enter Delete Array(s) sub-menu.

5. Review the warning message, if you want to proceed, Select Confirm and change
