3. Safety Information

Please read and understand the following safety precautions before installing your memory modules:

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Always handle memory modules by their edges. Wear an anti-static wrist strap or frequently touch a grounded metal object (e.g., your computer case) to discharge static electricity before touching any internal components.
• Power Off: Ensure your computer is completely powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before opening the case or installing components.
• Compatibility: Verify that your motherboard supports DDR5 memory and the specific speed and capacity of this kit. Refer to your motherboard's manual for compatibility information.
• Proper Handling: Do not force memory modules into slots. They should fit securely with minimal pressure.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to install your Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory modules:

1. Prepare Your System:
   • Shut down your computer completely.
   • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
   • Open your computer case.
   • Discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Locate Memory Slots: Identify the DDR5 memory slots on your motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for the recommended slot configuration for dual-channel memory (typically slots 2 and 4, or A2 and B2).
3. Open Retention Clips: Gently push down the retention clips at both ends of the memory slot to open them.
4. Insert Memory Module: Align the notch on the DDR5 memory module with the key in the memory slot. Carefully insert the module straight down into the slot. Apply even pressure to both ends of the module until the retention clips snap into place, securing the module.
5. Repeat for Second Module: Install the second memory module into the appropriate slot as per your motherboard's recommendations.
6. Close Case and Power On: Close your computer case, plug in the power cord, and power on your system.

5. Operating and BIOS/UEFI Configuration

After physical installation, you may need to configure your system's BIOS/UEFI to enable the advertised memory speeds using Intel XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO profiles.

1. Access BIOS/UEFI: During system startup, repeatedly press the designated key (commonly Del, F2, F10, or F12) to enter your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings. Consult your motherboard manual for the exact key.
2. Locate Memory Settings: Navigate to the memory or overclocking section. This may be labeled as 'Ai Tweaker', 'OC', 'Advanced Memory Settings', or similar.
3. Enable XMP/EXPO Profile: Look for an option to enable 'XMP' (Extreme Memory Profile) or 'EXPO' (Extended Profiles for Overclocking). Select the profile that corresponds to the advertised speed (e.g., 6000MT/s).
4. Save and Exit: Save your changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Your system will restart with the new memory settings applied.

6. Maintenance

Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 memory modules are designed for long-term reliability and require minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Keep Clean: Periodically clean the interior of your computer case to prevent dust buildup on components, including memory modules. Use compressed air to gently remove dust.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Handle modules carefully. Do not bend or apply excessive force.
• Temperature Control: Ensure adequate airflow within your computer case to maintain optimal operating temperatures for all components.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing your memory, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Boot/Black Screen:
  • Ensure modules are fully seated in their slots and retention clips are locked.
  • Verify that the modules are installed in the correct slots for dual-channel operation as per your motherboard manual.
  • Try booting with only one module installed to identify if a specific module is faulty.
  • Reset your motherboard's CMOS (refer to your motherboard manual for instructions).
• Incorrect Speed Detected:
  • Access BIOS/UEFI and ensure the XMP or EXPO profile is enabled and correctly selected.
  • Update your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to the latest version, as this often improves memory compatibility and stability.
• System Instability/Crashes:
  • Run a memory diagnostic tool (e.g., Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86) to check for errors.
  • Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) provides sufficient and stable power to all components.
