1.1 Motherboard overview

1.1.1 Before you proceed

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

any motherboard settings.

• Unplugthepowercordfromthewallsocketbeforetouchinganycomponent.

• Beforehandlingcomponents,useagroundedwriststraportouchasafelygrounded

objectorametalobject,suchasthepowersupplycase,toavoiddamagingthemdue

to static electricity.

• HoldcomponentsbytheedgestoavoidtouchingtheICsonthem.

• Wheneveryouuninstallanycomponent,placeitonagroundedantistaticpadorinthe

bag that came with the component.

• Beforeyouinstallorremoveanycomponent,ensurethattheATXpowersupplyis

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so

maycauseseveredamagetothemotherboard,peripherals,orcomponents.

1.1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

ThemotherboardcomeswithasurfacemountLGA2011-3socketdesignedforIntel®Core™

i7processors.

• EnsurethatallpowercablesareunpluggedbeforeinstallingtheCPU.

• Uponpurchaseofthemotherboard,ensurethatthePnPcapisonthesocketandthe

socketcontactsarenotbent.ContactyourretailerimmediatelyifthePnPcap

ismissing,orifyouseeanydamagetothePnPcap/socketcontacts/motherboard

components.willshoulderthecostofrepaironlyifthedamageisshipment/transit-

related.

• Keepthecapafterinstallingthemotherboard.willprocessReturnMerchandise

Authorization(RMA)requestsonlyifthemotherboardcomeswiththecaponthe

LGA2011-3socket.

• YoumayinstallvaryingmemorysizesinChannelA,ChannelB,ChannelC,and

ChannelD.Thesystemmapsthetotalsizeofthelower-sizedchannelforthedual-

channelconguration.Anyexcessmemoryfromthehigher-sizedchannelisthen

mapped for single-channel operation.

• AccordingtoIntel®CPUspec,DIMMvoltagebelow1.65Visrecommendedtoprotect

theCPU.

• Duetothememoryaddresslimitationon32-bitWindows®OS,whenyouinstall4GB

ormorememoryonthemotherboard,theactualusablememoryfortheOScanbe

about3GBorless.Foreffectiveuseofmemory,werecommendthatyoudoanyofthe

following:

a) Useamaximumof3GBsystemmemoryifyouareusinga32-bitWindows®OS.

b) Installa64-bitWindows®OSwhenyouwanttoinstall4GBormoreonthe

motherboard.

c) Formoredetails,refertotheMicrosoft®support site at http://support.microsoft.

• ThedefaultmemoryoperationfrequencyisdependentonitsSerialPresenceDetect

(SPD),whichisthestandardwayofaccessinginformationfromamemorymodule.

Underthedefaultstate,somememorymodulesforoverclockingmayoperateata

lowerfrequencythanthevendor-markedvalue.Tooperateatthevendor-marked

oratahigherfrequency,refertosection3.5 Ai Tweaker menu for manual memory

frequencyadjustment.

• Forsystemstability,useamoreefcientmemorycoolingsystemtosupportafull

memoryload(8DIMMs)oroverclockingcondition.

• AlwaysinstalltheDIMMSwiththesameCASLatency.Foranoptimumcompatibility,

werecommendthatyouinstallmemorymodulesofthesameversionordatacode

(D/C)fromthesamevendor.Checkwiththevendortogetthecorrectmemory

modules.

• ThedesignoftheDIMMfanmayvary.EnsurethattheDIMMfantstothe

motherboard.

1.1.6 Onboard buttons and switches

Onboardbuttonsandswitchesallowyoutone-tuneperformancewhenworkingonabareor

open-casesystem.Thisisidealforoverclockersandgamerswhocontinuallychangesettings

to enhance system performance.

1. Power-on button

The motherboard comes with a power-on button that allows you to power up or wake

up the system. The button also lights up when the system is plugged to a power source

indicating that you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before

removingorinstallinganymotherboardcomponent.

2. Reset button

Presstheresetbuttontorebootthesystem.

3. MemOK! button

InstallingDIMMsthatarenotcompatiblewiththemotherboardmaycausesystemboot

failure.IfthesystemfailtobootduringPOSTstageandtheDRAM_LEDneartheMemOK!

buttonlightscontinuously,presstheMemOK!buttonuntiltheDRAM_LEDstartsblinking.

Systemwillbeginautomaticmemorycompatibilitytuningandrebootforsuccessfulboot.

• Refertosection1.1.8 Onboard LEDsfortheexactlocationoftheDIAG_DRAMLED.

• TheDIAG_DRAMLEDalsolightsupwhentheDIMMisnotproperlyinstalled.Turnoff

thesystemandreinstalltheDIMMbeforeusingtheMemOK!function.

• TheMemOK!buttondoesnotfunctionunderWindows®OSenvironment.

• Duringthetuningprocess,thesystemloadsandtestsfailsafememorysettings.It

takesabout30secondsforthesystemtotestonesetoffailsafesettings.Ifthetest

fails,thesystemrebootsandteststhenextsetoffailsafesettings.Theblinkingspeed

oftheDIAG_DRAMLEDincreases,indicatingdifferenttestprocesses.

• Duetomemorytuningrequirement,thesystemautomaticallyrebootswheneach

timingsetistested.IftheinstalledDIMMsstillfailtobootafterthewholetuning

process,theDIAG_DRAMLEDlightscontinuously.ReplacetheDIMMswithones

recommendedintheMemoryQVL(QualifiedVendorsLists)inthisusermanualorat

www..com.

• IfyouturnoffthecomputerandreplaceDIMMsduringthetuningprocess,thesystem

continuesmemorytuningafterturningonthecomputer.Tostopmemorytuning,turn

offthecomputerandunplugthepowercordforabout5–10seconds.

•IfyoursystemfailstobootupduetoBIOSoverclocking,presstheMemOK!button to

bootandloadtheBIOSdefaultsettings.AmessagewillappearduringPOST

remindingyouthattheBIOShasbeenrestoredtoitsdefaultsettings.

• WerecommendthatyoudownloadandupdatetothelatestBIOSversionafterusing

theMemOK!function.
