B. Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU socket.

•

Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from

the power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.

•

To protect the socket contacts, do not remove the protective plastic cover unless the CPU is

inserted into the CPU socket. Save the cover properly and replace it if the CPU is removed.

Step 1:

Gently press the CPU socket lever handle down

andawayfromthesocketwithyournger.Then

completely lift the CPU socket lever and the metal

loadplate/plasticcoverwillbeliftedaswell.

Step 2:

HoldtheCPUwithyourthumbandindexngers.

Align the CPU pin one marking (triangle) with the

pin one corner of the CPU socket (or you may align

the CPU notches with the socket alignment keys)

and gently insert the CPU into position.

Step 4:

Finally, secure the lever under its retention tab to

complete the installation of the CPU.

NOTE:

Hold the CPU socket lever by the handle, not the lever base portion.

Step 3:

Once the CPU is properly inserted, carefully

replace the load plate. When replacing the load

plate, make sure the front end of the load plate

is under the shoulder screw. Then press the CPU

socket lever. The protective plastic cover may

pop off from the load plate during the process of

engaging the lever. Remove the cover. (Save the

cover properly and always replace it when the

CPU is not installed.)

1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler

Refer to the steps below to correctly install the CPU cooler on the motherboard. (Actual installation process may

differ depending the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)

Step 5:

After the installation, check the back of the

motherboard. If the push pin is inserted as the

picture above shows, the installation is complete.

Step 6:

Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU

cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the

motherboard.

Step 1:

Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on

the surface of the installed CPU.

Step 2:

Before installing the cooler, note the direction of the

arrow sign on the male push pin. (Turning the

push pin along the direction of arrow is to remove

the cooler, on the contrary, is to install.)

Step 3:

Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the

four push pins through the pin holes on the

motherboard. Push down on the push pins

diagonally.

Step 4:

You should hear a "click" when pushing down each

push pin. Check that the Male and Female push

pins are joined closely.

(Refer to your CPU cooler installation manual for

instructions on installing the cooler.)

1-4 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

•

Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same

capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the

memory to prevent hardware damage.

•

Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

1-4-1 DualChannelMemoryConguration

This motherboard provides memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory two

isinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.EnablingDual

Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following:

Channel A: DDR4_A1

Channel B: DDR4_B1

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

BIOS Setup

- 39 -

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows

theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.

When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to

keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.

To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.

•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.

•@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet

and updates the BIOS.

For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 5, "BIOS Update Utilities."
