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.

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch,

resetswitch,powerLED,harddriveactivityLED,speakerandetc.Whenconnectingyourchassis

front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are

matched correctly.

15) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)

Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status indicator

on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins

before connecting the cables.

17) BAT (Battery)

Thebatteryprovidespowertokeepthevalues(suchasBIOScongurations,date,andtimeinformation)

in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low

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.

16) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)

ThefrontpanelaudioheadersupportsHighDenitionaudio(HD).Youmayconnectyourchassisfront

panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the

pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the

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.)

2-1 Startup Screen

The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.

(Sample BIOS Version: B450 AORUS PRO E9)

Function Keys

When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.

The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.

TherearetwodifferentBIOSmodesasfollowsandyoucanusethe<F2>keytoswitchbetweenthetwomodes.

The Classic Setup mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move

amongtheitemsandpress<Enter>toacceptorenterasub-menu.Oryoucanuseyourmousetoselecttheitemyou

want. Easy Mode allows users to quickly view their current system information or to make adjustments for optimum

performance.InEasyMode,youcanuseyourmousetomovethroughcongurationitems.

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall

systemcongurations.Incorrectlydoingoverclock/overvoltagemayresultindamagetoCPU,chipset,ormemory

and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to

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.

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch,

resetswitch,powerLED,harddriveactivityLED,speakerandetc.Whenconnectingyourchassis

front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are

matched correctly.

15) F_PANEL (Front Panel Header)

Connect the power switch, reset switch, speaker, chassis intrusion switch/sensor and system status indicator

on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins

before connecting the cables.

System Status LED

S3/S4/S5 Off

PW (Power Switch, Red):

Connects to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may

congurethewaytoturnoffyoursystemusingthepowerswitch(refer

to Chapter 2, «BIOS Setup,» «Power,» for more information).

SPEAK (Speaker, Orange):

Connects to the speaker on the chassis front panel. The system reports

system startup status by issuing a beep code. One single short beep

will be heard if no problem is detected at system startup.

PLED/PWR_LED (PowerLED,Yellow/Purple):

Connects to the power status indicator

onthechassisfrontpanel.TheLEDison

17) BAT (Battery)

Thebatteryprovidespowertokeepthevalues(suchasBIOScongurations,date,andtimeinformation)

in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low

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.

16) F_AUDIO (Front Panel Audio Header)

ThefrontpanelaudioheadersupportsHighDenitionaudio(HD).Youmayconnectyourchassisfront

panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the

pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the

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.)

2-1 Startup Screen

The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.

(Sample BIOS Version: B450 AORUS PRO E9)

Function Keys

When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized Defaults item to set your system to its defaults.

The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.

TherearetwodifferentBIOSmodesasfollowsandyoucanusethe<F2>keytoswitchbetweenthetwomodes.

The Classic Setup mode provides detailed BIOS settings. You can press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move

amongtheitemsandpress<Enter>toacceptorenterasub-menu.Oryoucanuseyourmousetoselecttheitemyou

want. Easy Mode allows users to quickly view their current system information or to make adjustments for optimum

performance.InEasyMode,youcanuseyourmousetomovethroughcongurationitems.
