Chapter 1: Product Introduction

1.1 Before You Proceed

Take note of the following precautions before installing motherboard components or changing any motherboard settings:

⚠️ Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
⚠️ Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or metal object (like the power supply case) to avoid damage from static electricity.
⚠️ Before installing or removing any component, ensure the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with an AMD Socket AM4 designed for 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics Processors.

⚠️ Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

The AM4 socket has a specific pinout. Ensure you use a CPU designed for the AM4 socket. The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending connectors and damaging the CPU.

Installing the CPU

Step 1: Open the CPU socket retention lever.

Step 2: Align the CPU's triangle mark with the socket's triangle mark and carefully place the CPU into the socket.

Step 3: Close the CPU socket retention lever.

Step 4: Apply Thermal Interface Material (TIM) to the CPU heatsink and CPU if necessary before installing the heatsink and fan.

1.4 System Memory

This motherboard features four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets.

Channel	Sockets
Channel A	DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2*
Channel B	DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2*

Memory sizes can vary between Channel A and B; the system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for dual-channel configuration. Excess memory from the higher-sized channel is mapped for single-channel operation.
For optimal compatibility, always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency, version, or date code (D/C) from the same vendor.
A DDR4 memory module is notched differently from DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 modules. DO NOT install DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 modules into DDR4 slots.
Default memory operation frequency depends on Serial Presence Detect (SPD). Overclocking modules may operate at a lower frequency than marked.
For system stability, use an efficient memory cooling system for full memory loads.
Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists).

Recommended Memory Configurations

Diagrams show recommended dual-channel memory configurations using DIMM slots A1/A2 and B1/B2.

Installing a DIMM

Step 1: Open the DIMM slot retention clips.

Step 2: Align the DIMM's notch with the slot key and press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place.

To Remove a DIMM

Gently push down the retention clips on both ends of the DIMM slot and pull the DIMM straight up.

Chapter 2: BIOS and RAID Support

2.1 Knowing BIOS

The ASUS UEFI BIOS offers a user-friendly interface with flexible keyboard and mouse input. The term "BIOS" in this manual refers to "UEFI BIOS" unless specified otherwise.

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardware settings (storage configuration, overclocking, power management, boot device configuration) needed for system startup. Default BIOS settings ensure optimal performance under normal circumstances. DO NOT change default BIOS settings unless necessary:

An error message appears during system bootup requesting BIOS Setup.
A new system component requires further BIOS settings or an update.

⚠️ Inappropriate BIOS settings can lead to instability or boot failure. It is strongly recommended to change BIOS settings only with the help of trained service personnel.

When downloading or updating the BIOS file, rename it as TGA520MP.CAP for this motherboard.
BIOS settings and options may vary by release version. Refer to the latest BIOS version for details.

For more information on BIOS configurations, refer to www.asus.com/support or scan the QR code for the BIOS manual.

2.2 BIOS Setup Program

Use the BIOS Setup to update the BIOS or configure its parameters. The screen includes navigation keys and onscreen help.

Entering BIOS at Startup

Press Delete or F2 during the Power-On Self Test (POST).

Entering BIOS Setup After POST

Perform one of the following:

Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously.
Press the reset button on the system chassis.
Press the power button to turn the system off then back on (use only if the first two options fail).

After any of these options, press Delete to enter BIOS.

Ensure a USB mouse is connected if you wish to use the mouse in the BIOS setup program.
If the system becomes unstable after changing BIOS settings, select 'Load Optimized Defaults' under the Exit menu or press F5 to restore default settings for system compatibility and stability.
If the system fails to boot after a BIOS setting change, try clearing the CMOS and resetting the motherboard to default values.
The BIOS setup program does not support Bluetooth devices.

BIOS Menu Screen

The BIOS Setup can be used in two modes: EZ Mode and Advanced Mode. Switch modes from 'Setup Mode' in the Boot menu or by pressing the F7 hotkey.

2.3 ASUS EZ Flash 3

ASUS EZ Flash 3 allows BIOS updates without an OS-based utility.

? Ensure to load BIOS default settings to guarantee system compatibility and stability. Select 'Load Optimized Defaults' under the Exit menu or press F5.

To update the BIOS by USB:

⚠️ This function supports USB flash disks formatted with FAT 32/16 and a single partition only.
⚠️ DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS to prevent system boot failure!

Insert the USB flash disk containing the latest BIOS file into a USB port.
Enter the Advanced Mode of the BIOS setup program. Go to the 'Tool' menu and select 'ASUS EZ Flash 3 Utility', then press Enter.
Select 'via Storage Device(s)'.
Press Tab to switch to the 'Drive' field.
Use the Up/Down arrow keys to find the USB flash disk with the BIOS file, then press Enter.
Press Tab to switch to the 'Folder' field.
Use the Up/Down arrow keys to find the BIOS file, then press Enter to start the BIOS update process. Reboot the system when done.

2.4 ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 is an auto-recovery tool that restores the BIOS file if it fails or gets corrupted during an update. You can restore a corrupted BIOS file using a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file.

? If you need the latest BIOS file, download it from www.asus.com/support and save it to a USB flash drive.

To recover the BIOS:

Turn on the system.
Insert the USB flash drive containing the BIOS file into a USB port.
The utility automatically checks devices for the BIOS file. Upon finding it, the utility reads the file and enters ASUS EZ Flash 3 automatically.
The system prompts you to enter BIOS Setup to recover BIOS settings. For system compatibility and stability, press F5 to load default BIOS values.

⚠️ DO NOT shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so can cause system boot failure!

2.5 RAID Configurations

The motherboard includes the RaidXpert2 Configuration Utility supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 configurations.

? For more information on configuring RAID sets, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide available at www.asus.com/support or by scanning the QR code.

RAID Definitions

RAID 0 (Data striping): Optimizes two identical hard disk drives for parallel read/write operations, doubling data transfer rate and improving access/storage. Requires two new identical hard disk drives.
RAID 1 (Data mirroring): Copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the system directs applications to the surviving drive. Provides data protection and increases fault tolerance. Requires two new drives or one existing and one new drive of the same or larger size.
RAID 10: Combines data striping and data mirroring without parity. Offers benefits of both RAID 0 and RAID 1. Requires four new hard disk drives or one existing and three new drives.
