Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become

damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's

manual and follow these procedures:

•Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.

•Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or

warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before

installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make

sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic

components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keepyourhandsdryandrsttouchametalobjecttoeliminatestaticelectricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an

electrostatic shielding container.

•Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure

the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to

the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware

components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the

motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or

within the computer casing.

•Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

•Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature or wet environment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system

components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.

•If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation

and/or grounding instructions.

DualChannelMemoryConguration

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

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 four memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

ChannelA:DDR4_A1,DDR4_A2

ChannelB:DDR4_B1,DDR4_B2

Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on hardware installation.

1-3 InstallingtheCPU

ReadthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstalltheCPU:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest CPU support list.)

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

CPU to prevent hardware damage.

•Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may

locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

•Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage

of the CPU may occur.

•SettheCPUhostfrequencyinaccordancewiththeCPUspecications.Itisnotrecommended

thatthesystembusfrequencybesetbeyondhardwarespecicationssinceitdoesnotmeetthe

standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard

specications,pleasedosoaccordingtoyourhardwarespecicationsincludingtheCPU,graphics

card, memory, hard drive, etc.

InstallingtheCPU

Locate the alignment keys on the motherboard CPU socket and the notches on the CPU.

DonotremovetheCPUsocketcoverbeforeinsertingtheCPU.Itmaypopofffromtheload

plateautomaticallyduringtheprocessofre-engagingtheleverafteryouinserttheCPU.

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.

1-5 InstallinganExpansionCard

Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallanexpansioncard:

•Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came

with your expansion card.

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

expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

(SS=Single-Sided,DS=Double-Sided,"--"=NoMemory)

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 or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory

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

Procedure and driver screen for enabling CrossFire technology may differ by graphics cards and driver version.

RefertothemanualthatcamewithyourgraphicscardsformoreinformationaboutenablingCrossFiretechnology.

1-6 SettingupAMDCrossFire™Conguration

B.ConnectingtheGraphicsCards

Step 1:

InstallCrossFiregraphicscardsonthePCIExpressx16slots.(Tosetupa2-Wayconguration,werecommend

installing the graphics cards on the PCIEX16 and PCIEX8 slots.)

Step 2:

Insert the CrossFire (Note 2) bridge connectors in the CrossFire gold edge connectors on top of the cards.

Step 3:

Plug the display cable into the graphics card on the PCIEX16 slot.

C.ConguringtheGraphicsCardDriver

ToEnableCrossFireFunction

After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the AMDRADEONSETTINGS screen.

Browse to Gaming\GlobalSettings and ensure AMDCrossFire is set to On.

A.SystemRequirements

-Windows 10 64-bit operating system

-A CrossFire-supported motherboard with two or more PCI Express x16 slots and correct driver

-CrossFire-ready graphics cards of identical brand and chip and correct driver

(For the latest GPUs that support the 3-way CrossFire technology, please refer to the AMD website.) (Note 1)

-CrossFire (Note 2) bridge connectors

-Apowersupplywithsufcientpowerisrecommended(Refertothemanualofyourgraphicscardsforthe

power requirement)

(Note 1) When using dual core graphics cards, only 2-way is supported.

(Note 2) The bridge connector(s) may be needed or not depending on your graphics cards.
