Install CPU & Fan
Please install the CPU into the CPU socket as shown below.
Installation

Important

Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing theCPU to prevent hardware damage.
Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor.
Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheatinganddamage to the CPU may occur.
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
Apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsinkto enhance heat dissipation.
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering thesocket with a plastic cap.
Locate the pin one of the CPU socket and the CPU. Once the CPU is positioned intoits socket, place one finger down on the middle of the CPU, lowering the locking lever andlatching it into the fully locked position.
Do not force the CPU into the CPU socket before the CPU socket locking lever is liftedup, or damage to the CPU and CPU socket may occur.
Connect the CPU heatsink’s 4pin fan power connector to the 4pin CPU fan header onthemotherboard.

Install Memory
The motherboard provides 2 DDR3 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 32GB.

Wrench the latches on both sides of the memory slot outwards.
Insert the memory into the slot by aligning it with the notch in the slot.
Flip the latches on both sides of the slot to lock the memory.

Important

Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memoryof the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet beforeinstalling the memory to prevent hardware damage.
Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in onlyonedirection. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
The stability and compatibility of the installed memory module depend on the installedCPU and devices when overclocking.
This motherboard provides two memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. Dual-Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed

Install Expansion Card
The motherboard provides a PCI Express 2.0 x16 expansion slot. Place the expansion card in an available PCI Express slot and press the expansion carduntil itis fully inserted into the slot.

Important

When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplugthe power supply power cable from the power outlet to prevent hardware damage.
If the expansion card is not installed correctly, it may cause a short circuit throughout themetal pins, which could burn out the expansion card or the motherboard.

Back Panel Connectors

USB 2.0 Port
The USB port supports the USB 2.0 specification. Use this port for USB devices.

VGA Port
VGA (Video Graphics Array) supports analog video signal transmission, high resolution, fast
display rate and rich colors.

HDMI Port
The HDMI port supports 4K and 1080px. You can use this port to connect your HDMI-supported monitor.

USB 3.0 Port
The USB 3.0 supports the USB 3.0 specification and is compatible to the USB 2.0 specification. Use this port for USB devices.

RJ45 LAN Port
The Gigabit Ethernet LAN port provides Internet connection at up to 1000Mbps/s datarate. The following describes the states of the LAN port LEDs.

Audio Port

Line-in Port
The line in jack. Use this audio jack for line in devices such as an optical drive, walkman, etc.

Line-out Port
The line out jack.

Mic-in Port
The Mic in jack.

PS/2 Port
This PS/2 port can be connected to a keyboard or mouse. Green: mouse. Purple: keyboard

Internal Connectors

F_PANEL1 Connector”

SPEAK1 Connector

JAUDIO1 Connector
This connector allows you to connect audio jacks on the front panel.

Important

An incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it

SATA1~2: SATA 3.0 Connectors; SATA3~4: SATA 2.0 Connectors
These SATA 3.0 connectors are SATA 6Gb/s interface ports. Each SATA connector supports asingle SATA device.

M.2 Slot
Insert your M.2 SSD into the M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle. Secure the M.2 SSDin placewiththe scr ew.
Slot

JCMOS1: CMOS Discharge

JCOMS1 (Initial state) The initial state covers “1” and II you want to discharge, please go to the next step.
JCOMS1 (Discharge) Pull out the cap to cover -r and “3”, and wait for about 3 minutes f or the discharge to complete.
COMS1(restitute) After the discharge is completed, restore the initial state of the first step

Important

Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet beforedischarging

JCOM1: Serial Port Connector
The COM connector can provide one serial port via an optional COMport cable.

ATXPWR1, JATXPWR1: Power Connectors
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can provide enough stable power toall the components on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, makesurethe power supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed.

Important

It is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumptionbeused (at least 500W). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1~3: Fan Connectors
CPU_FAN is a interface for CPU radiator. The 4pin fan has PWM intelligent speed regulationfunction, which can intelligently control the fan speed based on load and temperaturechanges. SYS_FAN is the system cooling fan interface, which is generally connected to the casefan. The 3pin fan has no PWM adjustment capability

JUSB2, JUSB4: USB 2.0 Connectors
The headers conform to USB 2.0 specification. This connector allows you to connect USB2.0ports on the front panel.

FUSB3: USB 3.0 Connector
The header conforms to USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 specification. This connector allows youtoconnect USB 3.0 ports on the front panel.

BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the systemintheCMOS on the motherboard. BIOS identifies, configures, tests and connects computerhardware to the OS immediately after a computer is turned on. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during systemstartup, saving system parameters and loading the operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOSSetupprogram that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or toactivatecertain system features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessarypower to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS.

Important

Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky if you do not encounter problems usingthecurrent version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, doit with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

BIOS Setup
The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal conditions. It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) topreventsystem instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings mayresultin the system’s failure to boot.

Important

BIOS items are regularly updated for better system performance. The items may beslightlydifferent from the latest BIOS; therefore, the description is for reference only

Enter BIOS Setup

Entering BIOS Setup
When the computer starts up, BIOS enters the self-test process. When the self- test iscompleted, the following message is displayed: Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu. At thistime, Press key to enter the BIOS setup. If this message disappears before you press you can turn it off and thenturnonyour computer or press on the case to restart your computer. You can alsopress++ at the same time to restart your computer. It is recommended to repeatedly press the “Del” key immediately after startingthecomputer to ensure that the computer can enter BIOS mode.
