Safety Information

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

CPU Socket

Introduction to the LGA 1151 CPU
The surface of the LGA 1151 CPU has two notches and a golden triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The golden triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.
Important
y
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
y
Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
y
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
y
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
y
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.
y
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.
y
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
y
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® does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

Important
y
Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.
y
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
y
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
y
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard.
y
Some memory 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).
y
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
y
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

Important
y
For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
y
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.

Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during transmission otherwise.
y
SATA cable has identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space saving purposes.

CPUFAN1~2, SYSFAN1~3: Fan Connectors

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode and Voltage Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. Voltage Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. Therefore, when you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a PWM Mode fan connector, the fan speed will be always maintained at 100%, and that could be noisy.

RAID Configuration

Below are the different types of a RAID.
RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.
RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and
RAID 5 provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction
RAID 10 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a
RAID level comparison

Using Intel® Rapid Storage Technology enterprise

First, you need to set the SATA mode to RAID in BIOS to create, delete and reset RAID volumes. To enter the IRST Option ROM, reboot and press Ctrl + I keys to enter the IRSTe during the POST, the following window will appear.
Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance.

Important
Since you want to create two volumes, this default size (maximum) needs to be reduced. Type in a new size for the first volume. As an example: if you want the first volume to span the first half of the two disks, re-type the size to be half of what is shown by default. The second volume, when created, will automatically span the remainder of two hard drives.
7. Go to the Create Volume field and press Enter, a WARNING message will appear
for you to confirm if you are sure to create the RAID volume. Press Y to continue.

Troubleshooting

Before sending the motherboard for RMA repair, try to go over troubleshooting guide first to see if your got similar symptoms as mentioned below.
The power is not on.
y Connect the AC power cord to an
electrical outlet securely.
y Check if all ATX power connectors like
JPWR1~2 is connected from the power supply to the motherboard?
y Some power supply units have a power
button on the rear side, make sure the button is turned on.
y Check if the power switch cable is
connected to JFP1 pin header properly.
y Verify the Clear CMOS jumper JBAT1 is
set to Keep DATA.
y Test with another known working
power supply of equal or greater wattage.
The power is on, but no signal to monitor
y Connect the monitor power cord to a
electrical outlet securely.
y Make sure the monitor is turned on. y Select different inputs on the monitor. y If 3 long beeps are heard, remove all
memory modules and try to install only
one memory module in the DIMM2 slot
first and then restart the computer.
y If 1 long 2 short beeps are heard,
remove and reinstall the graphics card
and then restart the computer.
y Test with another known working
graphics card.
Lost BIOS password
y Clear the CMOS, but that will cause
you to lose all customized settings in the BIOS.
There is no audio
y Adjust the volume. y Connect the speakers/headphones to
audio ports on the motherboard rear IO panel.
y Remove secondary speakers/
headphones, HDMI cables, USB audio devices.
y Test with another known working
speaker or headphone.
There is no network
y Make sure the network chipset driver
has been installed.
y Verify if the network cable is properly
connected and make sure the LAN port
LEDs are properly illuminated.
y Verify your TCP/IP settings. y Restart or reset your router. y Test with another known working LAN
cable.
The USB device is not working
y Make sure your USB drive driver has
been installed.
y Verify if USB device is listed in
Windows
y Connect the USB device to other USB
port on the motherboard rear IO panel.
