Chapter 2 Installation This is a micro-ATX form factor (9.6” x 9.6”, 24.4 cm x 24.4 cm) motherboard. 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.
X470D4U / B450D4U-V1L 2.4 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
2.5 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.
Page 29
X470D4U / B450D4U-V1L The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
2.6 Expansion Slots (PCI Express Slots) There are 3 PCI Express slots on this motherboard. PCIE slot: PCIE4 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot, from CPU) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width cards. (X470D4U only) PCIE5 (PCIE 3.0 x8 slot, from CPU) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width cards. PCIE6 (PCIE 3.0 x16 slot, from CPU) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width cards.
