Motherboard information
2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
CAUTION! · Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component. · Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely
grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity. · Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them. · Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component. · Before you install or remove any component, always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1700 socket designed for the Intel® 12th Gen. CoreTM i9 / CoreTM i7 / CoreTM i5 / CoreTM i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® Processors.
LGA1700
IMPORTANT: Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
CAUTION! · Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket only.
DO NOT install a CPU designed for other sockets on the LGA1700 socket · Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on
the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related. · Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1700 socket. · The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

2.3.1

Installing the CPU
· Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for LGA1700 socket only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1151, and LGA1200 sockets on the LGA1700 socket.
· ASUS will not cover damages resulting from incorrect CPU installation/ removal, incorrect CPU orientation/placement, or other damages resulting from negligence by the user.

2.4 System memory
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. The figure below illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:

SO-DIMM_A1 SO-DIMM_B1

Channel Channel A Channel B

Sockets DIMM_A1 DIMM_B1

IMPORTANT!
· You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
· Always install the DIMMs with the same CAS Latency. For an optimum compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or data code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to get the correct memory modules.
· According to Intel® CPU spec, DIMM voltage below 1.35V is recommended to protect the CPU.
NOTE: Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com for the latest QVL.

PIN 1
Connector type HEADER 1x2p, 2.54mm pitch, S/T
To erase the RTC RAM: 1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord. 2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins. 3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer. 4. Hold down the key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup
to re-enter data. NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.
