Chapter 2: Installation This is a Micro ATX form factor (9.6” x 9.6”) 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.
2.3 Installation of 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.
2.4 Expansion Slots There are 2 PCI Express slots, 2 PCI slots, 1 mini-PCIe slots and 2 M.2 sockets on this motherboard. PCIE slots: PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width cards. PCIE2 (PCIE x4 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width cards. PCI slots: PCI slots are used to install expansion cards that have the 32-bit PCI.
