Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become

damagedasaresultofelectrostaticdischarge(ESD).Priortoinstallation,carefullyreadtheuser’s

manual and follow these procedures:

•Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.

•Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make

sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic

componentssuchasamotherboard,CPUormemory.IfyoudonothaveanESDwriststrap,

keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

•Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure

the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware

components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

•Donotplacethecomputersystemonanunevensurface.

•Donotplacethecomputersysteminahigh-temperatureorwetenvironment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

•If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation

and/or grounding instructions.

1-4 Installing the Memory

DualChannelMemoryConguration

ThismotherboardprovidesfourmemorysocketsandsupportsDualChannelTechnology.Afterthememory

isinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.EnablingDual

Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

The four memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

ChannelA:DDR4_2,DDR4_4

ChannelB:DDR4_1,DDR4_3

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the

same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE’s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the

memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1/2) ATX_12V/ATX (2×4 12V Power Connector and 2×12 Main Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components

onthemotherboard.Beforeconnectingthepowerconnector,rstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned

off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the

power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,

the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high

power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the

required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/2 (Fan Headers)

All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.

When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is

the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For

optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

•Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from

overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

•Thesefanheadersarenotcongurationjumperblocks.Donotplaceajumpercapontheheaders.

The fan/pump header is 4-pin and possess a foolproof insertion design. Most fan headers possess a

foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation

(the black connector wire is the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with

fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed

inside the chassis. The header also provides speed control for a water cooling pump, refer to Chapter 2,

level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.

You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:

1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one minute. (Or use a

metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive and negative terminals of the battery

holder, making them short for 5 seconds.)

3. Replace the battery.

4. Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.

•Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.

•Replacethebatterywithanequivalentone.Damagetoyourdevicesmayoccurifthebatteryis

replaced with an incorrect model.

•Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by yourself

or uncertain about the battery model.

•When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-)

of the battery (the positive side should face up).

•Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.

motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead

of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire

assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

ToaccesstheBIOSSetupprogram,pressthe<Delete>keyduringthePOSTwhenthepoweristurnedon.

ToupgradetheBIOS,useeithertheGIGABYTEQ-Flashor@BIOSutility.

•Q-FlashallowstheusertoquicklyandeasilyupgradeorbackupBIOSwithoutenteringtheoperatingsystem.

•@BIOSisaWindows-basedutilitythatsearchesanddownloadsthelatestversionofBIOSfromtheInternet

and updates the BIOS.

•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,

itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashing

may result in system malfunction.

•It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system instability or other

unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs, try to

cleartheCMOSvaluesandresettheboardtodefaultvalues.(Refertothe»LoadOptimizedDefaults»sectionin

this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
