Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
· 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.
· Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply
is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure
to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or
components.

ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 8-pin EATX12V) Correctly orient the ATX
power supply plugs into these connectors and push down firmly until the
connectors completely fit.
· For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit
(PSU) that complies with ATX 12 V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and
provides a minimum power of 350 W. This PSU type has 24-pin and 8-pin power
plugs.
· DO NOT forget to connect the 8-pin EATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the
system will not boot up.
· We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install
additional devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the
power is inadequate.
· If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your
system, refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at
http://support.asus.com.cn/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en for details.
CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CHA_FAN1~2) Connect the
fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the black
wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.
Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient
air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are
not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors! The CPU_FAN
connector supports a CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
Intel® LGA1151 CPU socket Install Intel® LGA1151 CPU into this surface mount
LGA1151 socket, which is designed for 8th Generation Intel® CoreTM i7 / i5 /
i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors.
For more details, refer to Central Processing Unit (CPU).
DDR4 DIMM slots Install 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR4
DIMMs into these DIMM sockets.
For more details, refer to System memory.

Clear RTC RAM (2-pin CLRTC) This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM
data of the system setup information such as date, time, and system passwords.
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.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
This motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the
8th Generation Intel® CoreTM i7 / CoreTM i5 / CoreTM i3, Pentium® and Celeron®
processors.
Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
· Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1151 socket
only. DO NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets
on the LGA1151 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.
· Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with

System memory
This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM
sockets:
DIMM_B1 DIMM_B2
DIMM_A1 DIMM_A2
Channel Channel A Channel B
Sockets DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2 DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2
· 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 DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility,
we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code
(D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory
modules.
· DDR4 2666MHz and higher memory modules will run at max. 2666MHz on Intel®
8th Generation 6-core or higher processors.
· Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133 MHz and its
corresponding timing or the loaded X.M.P. Profile is not the JEDEC memory
standard. The stability and compatibility of these memory modules depend on
the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices.
· The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence
Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory
module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may
operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
· For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support
a full memory load (4 DIMMs).
· Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors List)
