Chapter 2: Installation Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it. Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.
2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) This motherboard rovides two 204-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM slots. Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the break on the slot. 1. The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
2.4 Expansion Slots (M.2 Slots) There are 2 M.2 slots on this motherboard. M.2 for SSD: 1 x M.2 (KEY M, 2242/2260/2280) with PCIe x1 and SATA3 for SSD. * M.2 Key M 2280(Supported by bracket) M.2 for Wi-Fi: 1 x M.2 (Key E, 2230) with PCIe x1 and USB 2.0 for Wireless. M.2 Key-M Socket (M2_M1) M.2 Key-E Socket (M2_E1)
2.5 Jumpers Setup The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”...
2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors 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 of the motherboard! SATA3 Port This Serial ATA3 (SATA3) connector supports SATA data (SATA3_1: see p.8, No.
