Chapter 1: Product Introduction Product Introduction Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. CAUTION! • 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.
• Additional PCIe bifurcation and M.2 settings for RAID function are also supported when a Hyper M.2 X16 series card is installed. • For more details on the PCIe bifurcation, you may visit the support site at https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1037507/. • Hyper M.2 X16 series card sold separately. • Adjust the PCIe bifurcation under BIOS settings.
5. Power connectors These Power connectors allow you to connect your motherboard to a power supply. The power supply plugs are designed to fit in only one orientation.

ASUS EZ Flash 3 The ASUS EZ Flash 3 feature allows you to update the BIOS without using an OS-based utility. IMPORTANT! Ensure to load the BIOS default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under the Exit menu or press the <F5> hotkey.
ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 utility is an auto recovery tool that allows you to restore the BIOS file when it fails or gets corrupted during the updating process. You can restore a corrupted BIOS file using a USB flash drive that contains the BIOS file.
RAID configurations The motherboard supports RAID configurations. RAID definitions Volume provides the ability to link-together storage from one or several disks, regardless of the size of the space on those disks. This configuration is useful in scavenging space on disks unused by other disks in the array. This configuration does not provide performance benefits or data redundancy, disk failure will result in data loss.
