Installation Guides
Install CPU & Fan
Install the CPU into the LGA 1151 socket. Ensure the motherboard supports the CPU. Always unplug the power cord before installation. Do not power on without the CPU cooler installed to prevent CPU damage. Apply thermal paste between the CPU and heatsink for better heat dissipation. Align the CPU's triangle marker with the socket's marker, then lower the retention lever to secure it. Connect the 8-pin CPU power connector to the motherboard.
Important: Do not force the CPU into the socket if the retention lever is not lifted. Protect CPU socket pins when the CPU is not installed.
Install Memory
The motherboard features 2 DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 16GB per slot. To install memory: 1. Wrench the latches on both sides of the memory slot outwards. 2. Insert the memory module into the slot, aligning it with the notch. 3. Flip the latches on both sides to lock the memory.
Important: Ensure memory compatibility. Using modules of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips is recommended. Turn off and unplug the power cord before installation. Memory modules have a foolproof design; install in one direction only. Dual Channel mode requires two memory modules.
Install Expansion Card
The motherboard provides a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for expansion cards. Place the expansion card into the slot and press down until it is fully inserted.
Important: Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cable before adding or removing expansion cards to prevent hardware damage. Incorrect installation can lead to short circuits.

SPK2 Connector
Connector for an onboard speaker.
F_AUDIO1 Connector
Connects audio jacks on the front panel to the motherboard.
Important: An incorrect connection between the module connector and the motherboard header may cause the device to malfunction or be damaged.
Storage Ports
Features 3 SATA 3.0 connectors (SATA 6Gb/s) for connecting storage devices like HDDs and SSDs.
M.2 Slot
Supports M.2 SSDs with NGFF/NVME protocols. Insert the M.2 SSD at a 30-degree angle and secure it with a screw.
Clear CMOS
JCMOS1 jumper allows for clearing the CMOS settings to reset BIOS to default values. Short the jumper for approximately 5 seconds.
Important: Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing CMOS data.
ATXPWR
Includes a 24-pin ATXPWR connector for motherboard power and an 8-pin CPU power connector for CPU power supply. Ensure adequate power delivery for stable operation.
Important: It is recommended to use a power supply of at least 500W. Insufficient power can lead to system instability or failure to boot.
Fan Connectors
CPU_FAN1 is a 4-pin interface for the CPU cooler. CSYSFAN1 is a 4-pin interface for system/chassis fans. Both are typically PWM-capable for speed control.
USB Connectors
F_USB1 is a front USB 2.0 header. FP_USB3_1 is a front USB 3.0 header, conforming to USB 3.0 specifications, allowing connection of front panel USB ports.
BIOS Settings
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) stores system hardware parameters in CMOS and initializes hardware during startup. The BIOS Setup program allows users to modify basic system configuration settings. A motherboard battery powers the CMOS when the system is off.
Important: BIOS flashing is potentially risky. It is recommended not to flash the BIOS unless experiencing issues with the current version. Proceed with caution, as inadequate flashing may result in system malfunction. The manufacturer is not responsible for issues caused by unauthorized BIOS flashing.
BIOS Setup
Default BIOS settings are optimized for system stability and performance under normal conditions. Altering settings may lead to system instability or boot failure.
Important: BIOS versions are regularly updated for improved performance. Manual content may slightly differ from previous BIOS versions; updates are for reference.
Enter BIOS Setup
When the computer is turned on, after the Power-On Self-Test (POST), a message will appear prompting to press the 'DEL' key to enter the BIOS Setup Menu. Alternatively, the 'Quick Boot Key' F7 can be used. If the message disappears before a key is pressed, restart the computer by pressing the Reset button on the case or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously.
Important: Functions may vary depending on the specific product.
Reset BIOS
To restore default BIOS settings, short the Clear CMOS jumper (JCMOS1) on the motherboard for approximately 5 seconds.
Important: Ensure the computer is turned off before clearing CMOS data. Refer to the Clear CMOS jumper section for details.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can't Boot
Symptom: Pressing the boot button results in no response, the fan does not rotate, and the indicator light remains off.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Clear the CMOS jumper.
- Verify CPU compatibility with the motherboard.
- Check if the motherboard power and CPU power supplies are properly connected, and if the case power switch is engaged.
- Ensure the system panel power-on cable is correctly plugged in.
- Confirm the power supply unit is in good working condition.
- Remove the graphics card, hard disk, and other peripheral devices, then attempt to boot. (For troubleshooting, directly short the switch pins with a metal object to rule out chassis switch issues).
- Try replacing the CPU and booting again.
Start-up and then Shutdown
Symptom: After pressing the power button, the fan rotates briefly and then immediately shuts down.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Clear the CMOS jumper.
- Verify CPU model compatibility.
- Replace the CPU if it is suspected to be damaged.
- Replace the memory module.
- Remove the graphics card, hard drive, and USB devices, then test.
Computer Keeps Restarting
Symptom: The computer automatically restarts or enters an endless reboot loop.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Clear the CMOS jumper.
- Verify CPU compatibility with the motherboard.
- Check if the CPU is defective; replace it if necessary.
- Replace the RAM and check for compatibility or defects.
- Remove the graphics card, hard disk, and USB devices, then test.
No Display
State 1: Fan is rotating, but the Caps Lock indicator on the keyboard does not respond when pressed.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Clear CMOS.
- Check if the motherboard's power supply and CPU power supply are properly connected.
- Verify that the memory stick is installed in the correct slot, as some motherboard memory slots are not interchangeable. Consult the manual or manufacturer for specific slot configurations.
- Check if the CPU and memory models are compatible with the motherboard.
- Replace the CPU with a known working unit.
- Replace the memory module with a known working unit.
State 2: Fan is rotating, and the Caps Lock indicator on the keyboard lights up when pressed.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Ensure the monitor is turned on.
- Check if the monitor display cable (DP, HDMI, DVI, VGA) is securely plugged in.
- If the CPU does not have integrated graphics (e.g., CPUs with the suffix 'F' or Intel Xeon series), a dedicated video graphics card must be installed.
- Verify the display data cable is connected to the correct port: If no separate graphics card is installed, connect to the motherboard's display interface. If a separate graphics card is installed, connect to the graphics card's display interface.
- Replace the data cable connected to the monitor.
- Replace the graphics card with a new one and test again.
Have the Blue Screen or Crash
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Check if the motherboard's heat dissipation is adequate (e.g., CPU cooling fan is working, heatsink is properly seated, thermal paste is applied correctly).
- Replace the CPU.
- Replace the memory.
- Replace the hard disk.
- Reinstall the operating system (system).
- Replace the power supply unit and test again.
