Chapter 1: Product Introduction

1.1 Before You Proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.

1.2 Motherboard Overview

The image displays a top-down view of the ASUS EX-H410M-V3 motherboard, highlighting key components and connectors. The motherboard is oriented horizontally, with the rear I/O ports on the right and the CPU socket towards the top center. Key labeled components include:

The rear panel connectors are shown on the right side, including PS/2 ports, USB ports, HDMI, and Ethernet.

Textual description of the motherboard layout:

The motherboard is a rectangular circuit board. At the top center is the CPU socket, labeled LGA1200, with a lever mechanism for securing the CPU. To the right of the CPU socket are two DDR4 DIMM slots. Below the CPU socket is the ASUS logo. To the right of the DIMM slots are the ATX12V and EATXPWR power connectors. Towards the bottom of the motherboard are the PCIe slots, SATA ports, and various headers for front panel connections, USB, audio, and fan control. The rear I/O panel is located on the far right, featuring PS/2 ports, USB ports, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet port.

Important Note: Unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause physical injury and damage motherboard components.
