							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 motherb\
oard.
 •Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial N\
umber) 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 connect\
ors.
 •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	first	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 environmen\
t.
 •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	certified	computer	technician.
 •If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation 
and/or grounding instructions.

							Dual	Channel	Memory	ConfigurationThis motherboard provides two memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory is	installed,	 the	BIOS	 will	automatically	 detect	the	specifications	 and	capacity	 of	the	 memory.	 Enabling	 Dual	Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
1-3	 Installing	the	CPU
1-4	 Installing	the	Memory
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 me\
mory modules.) •Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before in\
stalling 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.
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU: •Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.) •Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before in\
stalling the CPU to prevent hardware damage. •Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CP\
U socket.) •Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU\
. •Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur. •Set	the	CPU	 host	frequency	 in	accordance	 with	the	CPU	 specifications.	 It	is	 not	 recommended	that	 the	system	 bus	frequency	 be	set	 beyond	 hardware	 specifications	 since	it	does	 not	meet	 the	standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications,	 please	do	so	according	 to	your	 hardware	 specifications	 including	the	CPU,	 graphics	card, memory, hard drive, etc.
Installing	the	CPULocate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches \
on the CPU.
Do	not	 remove	 the	CPU	 socket	 cover	before	 inserting	 the	CPU.	 It	may	 pop	off	from	 the	load	plate	automatically	during	the	process	of	re-engaging	the	lever	after	you	insert	the	CPU.

							Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing \
the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is install\
ed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of 
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.
The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following: Channel A: DDR4_1 Channel B: DDR4_2
1-5	 Installing	an	Expansion	Card
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion c\
ard: •Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came with your expansion card. •Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
1-6 Back Panel Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Port
Use the upper port (green) to connect a PS/2 mouse and the lower port \
(purple) to connect a PS/2 keyboard.
HDMI Port
The HDMI port is HDCP compliant and supports Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio formats. It also supports up to 192KHz/24bit 8-channel LPCM audio output. You can use this port to connect your HDMI-supported monitor. The maximum supported resolution is 4096x2160@24 Hz, but the actual resolutions supported are dependent o\
n the monitor being used.
After installing the HDMI device, make sure to set the default sound playback device to HDMI. (The item name may differ depending on your operating system.)
USB	3.0/2.0	PortThe	USB	 3.0	port	 supports	 the	USB	 3.0	specification	 and	is	compatible	 to	the	 USB	 2.0/1.1	 specification.	Use this port for USB devices.
USB	2.0/1.1	Port
The	USB	 port	supports	 the	USB	 2.0/1.1	 specification.	 Use	this	port	 for	USB	 devices	 such	as	a	USB	keyboard/mouse,	USB	printer,	USB	flash	drive	and	etc.
