The motherboard includes 1 PCIe 4.0 x16 slot and 2 PCIe x1 slots.
- Align your graphics card or other PCIe expansion card with the appropriate slot.
- Press down firmly until the card is seated correctly.
- Secure the card with a screw to the chassis.
2.6 Power Connections
Connect the 24-pin ATX main power connector and the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector from your power supply to the corresponding ports on the motherboard.
2.7 Front Panel and I/O Connections
Connect the front panel headers (power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED), USB headers, audio headers, and the RGB header to their respective pins on the motherboard. The rear I/O panel includes 1x RJ45, WiFi, VGA (D-Sub), 4x USB 3.2/3.1 Gen 2, PS/2, HDMI 1.4, and DVI-D ports.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 First Boot
After all components are installed and connected, power on your system. Access the BIOS/UEFI setup by pressing the designated key (usually DEL or F2) during startup to configure settings or install your operating system.
3.2 XMP Overclocking
The motherboard supports XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) for DDR4 dual-channel memory, allowing speeds from 2133MHz up to 3200MHz. This feature can be enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings to optimize memory performance. Actual performance may vary depending on the specific characteristics of the CPU and memory modules.
3.3 Integrated Graphics
The motherboard supports integrated video output (HDMI, DVI, VGA). Please note that integrated graphics functionality requires a processor that also supports integrated graphics.
3.4 Operating System Compatibility
This motherboard is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems.
3.5 Onboard WiFi Interface
The motherboard is equipped with an onboard WiFi interface, supporting CNVI protocol only. Ensure you have a compatible CNVI WiFi module installed for wireless connectivity.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your motherboard.
- Dust Removal: Regularly clean dust from the motherboard and other PC components using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
- BIOS Battery: The CMOS battery (CR2032) may be removed before shipping due to customs regulations. You may need to install a new battery upon receipt to ensure proper BIOS settings retention.
- Environmental Conditions: Operate the motherboard in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, and corrosive chemicals.
5. Troubleshooting
- No Display Output: If you are not getting a display, ensure your processor supports integrated graphics if you are using the motherboard's video outputs (HDMI, DVI, VGA). If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is properly seated in the PCIe x16 slot and connected to power.
- System Fails to Boot: Check all power connections (24-pin and 8-pin ATX 12V). Verify that RAM modules are correctly seated. Ensure the CPU is properly installed.
- M.2 SSD Not Detected: Confirm the M.2 SSD is securely installed in its slot. Check BIOS settings to ensure M.2 slots are enabled and configured correctly.
- Intermittent Issues: Ensure all cables are securely connected. Check for any loose components. Consider updating BIOS/UEFI firmware if available.
