is is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study

the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard ts into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

•

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.

Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard

components.

•

In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded

wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

•

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

Aer you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger

heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease

between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the

CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.

Installing the CPU Box Cooler SR1

Please turn o the power or remove the power cord before changing a CPU or heatsink.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same

brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three

memory module installed.

3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4

slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

4. We suggest that you install the memory modules on DDR4_A2 and DDR4_B2 rst

for better DRAM compatibility on 2 DIMMs conguration.

2.4 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots)

ere are 4 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 4.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE2 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

PCIE3 (PCIe 3.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards.

PCIE4 (PCIe 3.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.

Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is

switched o or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the

expansion card and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start

the installation.

For a better thermal environment, please connect a chassis fan to the motherboard’s

chassis fan connector (CHA_FAN1/WP, CHA_FAN2/WP, CHA_FAN3/WP or

CHA_FAN4/WP) when using multiple graphics cards.

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is

“Open”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.8, No. 20)

(see p.10, No. 22)

CLRCMOS2 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short the pins on CLRCMOS2 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the

CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you

just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it

down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,

date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

removed. Please remember toremove the jumper cap aer clearing the CMOS.

Operation Guide

is motherboard supports CrossFireX

and Quad CrossFireX

that allows you

to install up to two identical PCI Express x16 graphics cards.

2.8.1 Installing Two CrossFireX

-Ready Graphics Cards

Step 1

Insert one graphics card into PCIE1 slot

and the other graphics card to PCIE3 slot.

Make sure that the cards are properly

seated on the slots.

Step 2

Connect two graphics cards by installing

a CrossFire Bridge on the CrossFire Bridge

Interconnects on the top of the graphics

cards. (e CrossFire Bridge is provided

with the graphics card you purchase, not

bundled with this motherboard. Please

refer to your graphics card vendor for

details.)

1. You should only use identical CrossFireX

-ready graphics cards that are AMD

certied.

2. Make sure that your graphics card driver supports AMD CrossFireX

technology.

Download the drivers from the AMD’s website: www.amd.com

3. Make sure that your power supply unit (PSU) can provide at least the minimum

power your system requires. It is recommended to use a AMD certied PSU. Please

refer to the AMD’s website for details.

4. If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireX

Edition card with a 16-pipe card, both cards will

operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireX

mode.

5. Dierent CrossFireX

cards may require dierent methods to enable CrossFi-

reX

. Please refer to AMD graphics card manuals for detailed installation guide.

Select the overclock mode. Warning! When overclocking also the PCIe, PCI, SATA and

USB busses will be overcloked which may cause instability or failure. Please install an

operating system and the drivers required before overclocking, or else your HDD's may be

undetectable. Overclocking is not supported if the monitor is connected via the onboard

D-Bus/VGA connector.

SoC/Uncore OC Voltage(VID)

Specify the SoC/Uncore voltage (VDD_SOC) in mV to support memory and Innity Fabric

overclocking. VDD_SOC also determines the GPU voltage on processors with integrated

graphics. “SoC/Uncore OC Mode” needs to be enabled to force this voltage.

CLD0 VDDP Voltage Control

AMD Overclocking Setup VDDP is a voltage for the DDR4 bus signaling (PHY), and it is

derived from your DRAM Voltage (VDDIO_Mem). As a result, VDDP voltage in mV can

approach but not exceed your DRAM Voltage.

CLD0 VDDG CCD Voltage Control

AMD Overclocking Setup VDDG CCD represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity

Fabric. It is derived from the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach

but not exceed VDD_SOC.
