Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system's stability, or even cause damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.

Chapter 2 Installation

This is a Micro ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits 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 overtighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.1 Installing the CPU

1. Before you insert the 1151-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the 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.

Please save and replace the cover if the processor is removed. The cover must be placed if you wish to return the motherboard for after service.

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology.

1. For dual channel configuration, 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.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

Priority DDR4_A1 DDR4_A2 DDR4_B1 DDR4_B2

2.6 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide

The M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1) supports type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s). The Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_2) supports type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s).

• Please be noted that if M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_0 will be disabled.

Installing the M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module

Step 1

Prepare a M.2_SSD (NGFF) module and the screw.

Step 2

Depending on the PCB type and length of your M.2_SSD (NGFF) module, find the corresponding nut location to be used.

No.1234

Nut Location A B C D

Move the standoff based on the module type and length.

The standoff is placed at the nut location D by default. Skip Step 3 and 4 and go straight to Step 5 if you are going to use the default nut.

Otherwise, release the standoff by hand.

Step 4

Peel off the yellow protective film on the nut to be used. Hand tighten the standoff into the desired nut location on the motherboard.

Step 5

Align and gently insert the M.2 (NGFF) SSD module into the M.2 slot. Please be aware that the M.2 (NGFF) SSD module only fits in one orientation.

Step 6

Tighten the screw with a screwdriver to secure the module into place. Please do not overtighten the screw as this might damage the module.

Enabling USB Ports for Windows® 7 Installation

Intel® new processors have removed their support for the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI - USB2.0) and only kept the eXtensible Host Controller Interface (XHCI - USB3.0). Due to that fact that XHCI is not included in the Windows 7 inbox drivers, users may find it difficult to install Windows 7 operating system because the USB ports on their motherboard won't work. In order for the USB ports to function properly, please create a Windows® 7 installation disk with the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) drivers packed into the ISO file.

Requirements

• A Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive
  A Windows PC
• Win7 USB Patcher (included in the ASRock Support CD or downloaded from website)

Scenarios

You have an ODD and PS/2 ports:

If there is an optical disc drive, PS/2 ports and PS/2 Keyboard or mouse on your computer, you can skip the instructions below and go ahead to install Windows® 7 OS.

You've got nothing:

If you do not have an optical disc drive, please find another computer and follow the instructions below to create a new ISO file with the "Win7 USB Patcher". Then use the new patched Windows® 7 installation USB drive to install Windows® 7 OS.

Instructions

Step 1

Insert the Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive to your system.

Step 2

Extract the tool (Win7 USB Patcher) and launch it.

Step 3

Select how you want to install Windows 7 later.

Step 4

Locate your Win7 source folder or your ISO file.

Step 5

Select the USB storage, compact disk or destination folder for the new Windows 7 installation file.

Step 6

Click "Start" to begin.

Step 7

Now you are able to install Windows 7 on Intel new processors with the new burned CD. Or please use the patched ISO image to make an OS USB drive to install the OS.
