Motherboard Layout

The motherboard features standard component locations. Key areas include:

• CPU Socket (LGA 1700)
• CPU Fan Header
• Memory Slots (DIMM_A, DIMM_B)
• Expansion Slots (PCIEX16, PCIEX1)
• M.2 Slots (M.2_1, M.2_2)
• SATA Ports
• System Panel Connector
• Power Connectors (ATX_PWR, ATX_12V)
• Input/Output Ports (USB, LAN, Audio, HDMI)

Installation Steps

Carefully align the CPU with the socket's triangle indicator and gently lower it into place. Secure the retention arm.

Mount the CPU cooler according to its specific instructions, ensuring it is securely attached to the motherboard. Connect the fan cable to the CPU_FAN header.

Open the clips on the DIMM slots. Align the notch on the memory module with the notch in the slot and press down firmly on both ends until the clips snap into place.

Connect SATA storage devices (SSDs, HDDs) using SATA cables to the SATA ports on the motherboard and to the power supply. For M.2 drives, insert them into the M.2 slots and secure with the provided screw.

Remove the corresponding slot cover from the case. Align the expansion card (e.g., graphics card, network card) with the appropriate PCIe slot and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Secure the card to the case bracket.

Connect the small cables from the computer case (power switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED) to the corresponding pins on the system panel connector header on the motherboard. Refer to the motherboard manual for exact pin assignments.

Connect the main 24-pin ATX power connector from the power supply to the ATX_PWR header on the motherboard. Connect the 4-pin or 8-pin ATX 12V power connector from the power supply to the ATX_12V header near the CPU socket.

Connect your keyboard, mouse, monitor (via HDMI or other display outputs), and other peripherals to the appropriate ports on the rear I/O panel.

Connect the power cord, turn on the system using the case power button. Access the BIOS/UEFI setup (usually by pressing DEL or F2 during startup) to verify components. Insert your operating system installation media (USB or DVD) and follow the on-screen prompts to install the OS. After OS installation, install the necessary motherboard drivers (chipset, audio, LAN, etc.) from the ASUS support website or the provided driver CD/USB.
