1.7 Wireless Dongle USB Bracket

Installing the Wireless Dongle USB Bracket

Step 1

Plug the Wireless Dongle USB Bracket into the

USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.

Step 2

Now you have two external USB 2.0 ports at

hand.

*We recommend you plugging wireless devices

dongle into these USB 2.0 ports for the best

wireless signal quality.

is is an EATX 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

components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries 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.

• Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

• Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or

in the bag that comes with the components.

• When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-

tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation

Z790 Taichi

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1700-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the is on the PnP cap

socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not

force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU

will be seriously damaged.

2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

2 3

Please save and replace the cover if the processor is removed. e cover must be placed if

you wish to return the motherboard for aer service.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

is motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) DIMM slots,

and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

Recommended Memory Conguration

1 DIMM

2 DIMMs

4 DIMMs

A1 A2 B1 B2

VVVV

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

speed, size and chip-type) DDR5 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 , DDR3 or DDR4 memory module into a DDR5

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

4. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the

motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

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_FAN1~6/WP) when using multiple graphics cards.

2.11 Jumpers Setup

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

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

“Open”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRMOS1) (see p.7, No. 34)

CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. e data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup

parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn

o the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short the

pins on CLRMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper cap aer

clearing the CMOS. 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.

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these

headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause

permanent damage to the motherboard.

PWRBTN (Power Button):

Connect to the power button on the chassis front panel. You may congure the way to turn

o your system using the power button.

RESET (Reset Button):

Connect to the reset button on the chassis front panel. Press the reset button to restart the

computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (System Power LED):

Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the

system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep state. e

LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when the

hard drive is reading or writing data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power

button, reset button, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connect-

ing your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the

pin assignments are matched correctly.

2.15 M.2 SSD Module Installation Guide (M2_1 and M2_2)

e M.2 is a small size and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and

mSATA. e Blazing M.2 Socket (M2_1, Key M) supports type 2280 PCIe Gen5x4 (128 Gb/s)

mode. e Hyper M.2 Socket (M2_2, Key M) supports type 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 (64 Gb/s)

mode.

* If M2_1 is occupied, PCIE1 will downgrade to x8 mode.

* If PCIE2 is occupied, M2_1 will be disabled.

* Either M2_1 or M2_2 can be used at a time.

Installing the M.2 SSD Module

Step 1

Prepare a M.2 SSD module and the

screw.

Step 2

Depending on the PCB type and

length of your M.2 SSD module, nd

the corresponding nut location to be

used.
