Storage: Two M.2 connectors are present: M2A_CPU (integrated in the CPU) and M2B_SB (integrated in the Chipset). Additionally, there are four SATA3 0/1/2/3 ports.
Internal Headers: Various internal headers are distributed across the board, including:
Back Panel Connectors: Located on the rear I/O panel, these include USB20_1, USB20_2 (USB 2.0/1.1 ports), HDMI, U32C (USB Type-C®), U32G2 (USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A), U32 LAN (RJ-45), AUDIO (audio jacks), M2_WIFI (for Wi-Fi antenna), QFLED (Q-Flash Plus LED), QFLASH_PLUS (Q-Flash Plus button), and LED_CPU (CPU LED indicator).
⚠ Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the CPU:
Installation Steps: Completely lift up the CPU socket locking lever. Locate the pin one (denoted by a small triangle) of the CPU socket and the CPU. Once the CPU is positioned into its socket, place one finger down on the middle of the CPU, lowering the locking lever and latching it into the fully locked position.
An illustration shows the AM4 CPU Socket with its locking lever in the open position, and a CPU with a small triangle marking its pin one. Another illustration shows the CPU being placed into the socket and the lever being lowered.
⚠ Do not force the CPU into the CPU socket before the CPU socket locking lever is lifted up, or damage to the CPU and CPU socket may occur.
Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on hardware installation: https://www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/210/quick-guide.html?m=sw
⚠ Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
This motherboard provides four 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.
The four memory sockets are divided into two channels:
Recommended Dual Channel Memory Configuration:
DDR4_A1 | DDR4_A2 | DDR4_B1 | DDR4_B2 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
2 Modules | -- | DS/SS | -- | DS/SS |
4 Modules | DS/SS | DS/SS | DS/SS | DS/SS |
(SS=Single-Sided, DS=Double-Sided, "--"=No Memory)
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
An illustration shows four DIMM slots (DDR4_A1, DDR4_A2, DDR4_B1, DDR4_B2) on the motherboard, with arrows indicating the correct insertion direction for memory modules.
⚠ When installing a single memory module, GIGABYTE recommends installing it in the DDR4_A2 or DDR4_B2 socket.
⚠ Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:
Follow the steps below to correctly install your expansion card in the expansion slot.
An illustration shows a PCI Express x16 slot on a motherboard and an expansion card (e.g., a graphics card) being inserted into it.

Supplier's Declaration of Conformity
47 CFR § 2.1077 Compliance Information
FCC Compliance Statement: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Subpart B, Unintentional Radiators. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The FCC, through ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy. Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN products meet Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC's recommended limits.
Safety precautions:
Antenna use: To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (e.g., wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless modified for such use.
Antenna Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain antennas.
Use On Aircraft Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices due to interference with critical aircraft instruments.
Other Wireless Devices: Refer to documentation supplied with wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This section also includes the French translation of the Industry Canada notice.
Caution (IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN): This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15-to 5.25-GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires indoor use for this range to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the primary user of the 5.25-to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands, which can cause interference/damage. Maximum allowed antenna gain is 6dBi for 5.25-to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz point-to-point operation. To comply with RF exposure, antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20cm from the body.
This section also includes the French translation of the IEEE 802.11a caution.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference, the antenna type and gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This section also includes the French translation of the Industry Canada antenna regulation.
This device complies with the following EU directives: Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU, Low-voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, ErP Directive 2009/125/EC, RoHS directive (recast) 2011/65/EU & the 2015/863 Statement.
