1 Product Introduction 1.1 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. 1.2 • 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. • Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
1.2.1 Layout contents 1. CPU socket The motherboard comes with an AMD Socket AM5 designed for AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series Desktop Processors. For more details, refer to Central Processing Unit (CPU). 2. DDR5 DIMM slots The motherboard comes with Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots designed for DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) memory modules. For more details, refer to System memory. 3. Expansion slots This motherboard supports two PCIe x16 graphics cards and one PCIe 3.
• For a fully configured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specification 2.0 (or later version) and provides a minimum power of 350W. • We recommend that you use a PSU with a higher power output when configuring a system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is inadequate.
11. Addressable Gen 2 headers ADD_GEN 2 The Addressable Gen 2 headers support WS2812B addressable RGB LED strips (5V/Data/Ground), with a maximum power rating of 3A (5V), and the addressable headers on this board can handle a combined maximum of 500 LEDs. Ground +5V Data PIN 1 The Addressable Gen 2 headers allow you to connect individually addressable RGB WS2812B LED strips or WS2812B based LED strips.
If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and short the two pins again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery. 14. COM Port header COM We recommend that you connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this header to avail of the motherboard’s highdefinition audio capability. • If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this header, set the Front Panel Type item in the BIOS setup to [HD Audio].
• Chassis intrusion header (CHASSIS) The 2-pin header allows you to connect the chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch. The chassis intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal to the header when a chassis component is removed or replaced, the signal is then generated as a chassis intrusion event. 17.
