2-3 Installing the CPU and CPU Cooler

CPU Installation Guidelines

Ensure motherboard compatibility with the CPU.
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord before installation.
Locate the CPU's pin one marking (triangle) or notches for correct orientation.
Apply an even, thin layer of thermal grease on the CPU surface.
Do not power on the computer without a CPU cooler installed to prevent overheating.
Set CPU host frequency according to specifications; exceeding hardware limits is not recommended.

A. Note the CPU Orientation

Align the CPU's triangle pin one marking or notches with the corresponding markings on the AM5 CPU Socket.

B. Installing the CPU

Gently press the CPU socket lever down and away, then lift the locking lever completely. Hold the plastic protective cover on the metal load plate and lift it open.
Hold the CPU by its edges. Align the CPU's pin one marking (triangle) or notches with the socket's alignment keys. Gently insert the CPU into the socket.
Ensure the CPU is properly installed, then close the load plate and secure the socket lever. The plastic protective cover will automatically detach. Always replace the protective cover when the CPU is not installed.

❗ Do not force the CPU socket locking lever if the CPU is not installed correctly, as this can damage the CPU and socket.

C. Installing the CPU Cooler

Apply an even, thin layer of thermal grease on the installed CPU surface.
Type A Cooler: Hook the CPU cooler clip to the mounting lug on one side of the retention frame. Push down on the other side to hook it. Turn the cam handle to lock.
Type B Cooler: Remove the four screws from the CPU retention frame. Align the cooler's shoulder screws with the back plate standoffs. Fasten screws in a 1-2-3-4 pattern. For Type B, tighten screws gradually (1 rotation per step) in the specified order.
Connect the CPU cooler's power connector to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.

2-4 Installing the Memory

Ensure motherboard compatibility with the memory. Using memory of the same capacity, brand, and speed is recommended.
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord before installing memory.
Memory modules have a keyed design; install in only one direction. If it doesn't fit, switch the direction.
Install memory modules in the DDR5_A socket first.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard supports Dual Channel Technology with two memory sockets (Channel A: DDR5_A, Channel B: DDR5_B). Enabling Dual Channel mode doubles memory bandwidth. For Dual Channel mode, install two memory modules of the same capacity, brand, and speed.

2-5 Installing an Expansion Card

Ensure motherboard compatibility with the expansion card and read its manual.
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord before installing an expansion card.
Installation Steps:
1. Locate an expansion slot and remove the corresponding metal slot cover from the chassis back panel.
2. Align the card with the slot and press down until fully seated.
3. Ensure the expansion card is fully seated.
4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw.
5. Replace the chassis cover(s).
6. Turn on the computer. Adjust BIOS settings if necessary for the expansion card.
7. Install the driver provided with the expansion card.

BAT (Battery)

The battery powers the CMOS to retain BIOS configurations, date, and time when the computer is off. Replace the battery if voltage is low or values are lost.

Clearing CMOS Values by Removing Battery:

Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
Gently remove the battery from the holder and wait one minute. (Alternatively, short the positive and negative terminals with a metal object for 5 seconds.)
Replace the battery.
Plug in the power cord and restart the computer.

❗ Always turn off and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery. Use an equivalent battery; incorrect models may cause damage. Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if unsure. Note battery orientation (+/-). Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS Jumper)

Use this jumper to clear BIOS configuration and reset CMOS values to factory defaults. Touch the two pins with a metal object (like a screwdriver) for a few seconds.

Jumper Settings:

Open: Normal
Short: Clear CMOS Values

❗ Always turn off and unplug the power cord before clearing CMOS values. After restarting, load default settings in BIOS Setup.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores hardware parameters in the motherboard's CMOS. It performs Power-On Self-Test (POST), saves system parameters, and loads the operating system. The BIOS Setup program allows modification of basic system configurations and activation of features.

The CMOS is powered by the battery when the system is off.

Accessing BIOS Setup: Press the <Delete> key during POST.

Upgrading BIOS: Use GIGABYTE Q-Flash or Q-Flash Plus utility.

Q-Flash: Quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the OS.
Q-Flash Plus: Update BIOS when the system is off (S5). Save BIOS to a USB drive, plug it into the dedicated port, and press the Q-Flash Plus button.

For Q-Flash utility instructions, visit GIGABYTE's website and search for "BIOS Update Utilities".

❗ BIOS flashing is risky. If your current BIOS is stable, it's recommended not to flash it. Proceed with caution; improper flashing can cause system malfunction. Avoid altering default settings unless necessary to prevent instability or boot failure. If boot failure occurs, clear CMOS values and reset to defaults. Refer to Chapter 2 for battery/CMOS jumper details or GIGABYTE's website for "Load Optimized Defaults".

For BIOS Setup details, visit www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/917/amd600-bios.html.

Startup Screen and Function Keys

The startup screen displays the GIGABYTE logo during boot.

Function Keys:

<DEL>: BIOS SETUP\Q-FLASH - Enters BIOS Setup or Q-Flash utility.
<F12>: BOOT MENU - Allows setting the first boot device without entering BIOS Setup. Use arrow keys to select and <Enter> to confirm. This setting is for one-time boot only.
<END>: Q-FLASH - Accesses Q-Flash utility directly.

Chapter 4: Installing the Operating System and Drivers

4-1 Operating System Installation

Ensure correct BIOS settings before installing the operating system. Some OS versions include RAID drivers; otherwise, install them separately.

RAID Driver Installation (if required):

Go to GIGABYTE's website, find your motherboard model's page, and download the AMD RAID Preinstall Driver from Support\Download\SATA RAID/AHCI. Unzip the file and copy it to a USB thumb drive.
Boot from the Windows setup disc. When prompted to load a driver, select "Browse".
Insert the USB thumb drive, navigate to the driver location, and install the following drivers in order: AMD-RAID Bottom Device, AMD-RAID Controller, AMD-RAID Config Device.
Continue the OS installation.

4-2 Drivers Installation

After OS installation, a dialog box may prompt to download and install drivers and GIGABYTE applications via GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC). Ensure "Gigabyte Utilities Downloader" is enabled in BIOS Setup (Settings\IO Ports\Gigabyte Utilities Downloader Configuration).

Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) to install GCC. In the GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER, select desired drivers and applications, then click "Install".

❗ Ensure the system is connected to the Internet before installation.
