Processor Socket Distance from the center of the CPU to the nearest DIMM slot. 51.4mm Introduction to the AM4 CPU The surface of the AM4 CPU has a yellow triangle to assist in correctly lining up the CPU for motherboard placement. The yellow triangle is the Pin 1 indicator. Important y When changing the processor, the system configuration could be cleared and reset BIOS to default values, due to the AM4 processors architecture.
DIMM Slots DIMMA1 Channel A DIMMB1 Channel B Memory module installation recommendation DIMMA1 DIMMB1 DIMMA1 Important y Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA1 slot first. y Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed. y Based on processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the processor.

CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1: Fan Connectors Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. When you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a fan connector in PWM mode, the fan speed will always maintain at 100%, which might create a lot of noise. You can follow the instruction below to adjust the fan connector to PWM or DC Mode.
JCI1: Chassis Intrusion Connector This connector allows you to connect the chassis intrusion switch cable. Normal (default) Trigger the chassis intrusion event Using chassis intrusion detector 1. Connect the JCI1 connector to the chassis intrusion switch/ sensor on the chassis. 2. Close the chassis cover. 3. Go to BIOS > SETTINGS > Security > Chassis Intrusion Configuration. 4. Set Chassis Intrusion to Enabled. 5. Press F10 to save and exit and then press the Enter key to select Yes. 6.

SMART TOOL SMART TOOL is a convenient tool that can help you to create your Windows installation USB flash drive, and it can also create a super RAID. Main menu After installing and activating SMART TOOL, it will display a main menu for you to choose Smart Tool or SUPER RAID. Note that the SUPER RAID is only available when your system equipped with at least 3 hard-disk drives (1 system disk and 2 data disks).
SUPER RAID This utility allows you to create a super RAID in Windows system. To create a super RAID: 1. Use checkboxs to select the disks you want included in your RAID. 2. Choose Speed Up or Backup for RAID type. y Speed Up = RAID0 y Backup = RAID1 3. Click Start. 4. When prompt Finish!, click OK. Important SUPER RAID can't includ the system disk.
RAMDISK RAMDISK creates a virtual RAM drive using the available memory in your computer, the performance of the RAMDISK is faster than an SSD and hard drive. RAMDISK allows you to store any temporary information on it. Furthermore, using the RAMDISK will extend your SSDs life by sparing it from excessive reading and writing. Creating a RAM Disk When RAMDISK is started, it will create a default RAM disk. If you want to change settings, refer to following instructions.
RAID Configuration Below are the different types of a RAID. RAID 0 breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance. RAID 10 uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.
Using the utility to accomplish the procedures y Initialize Disk(s) - To initialize a new disk drive for data storage. y Create Array - Create arrays at different RAID levels (depending on the license level for the system) y Delete Array(s) - Delete an array. y Swap Two Arrays - Change the array order, especially for the AMD-RAID bootable array. y Manage Hot Spare(s) - Allows selection of global and dedicated hot spares. y View Disk Details - View information about each disk.
Initialize Disks New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk. Important y If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initialize the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize. y A legacy disk can contain valid data.
Create Arrays Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized. Important y For redundant arrays, the Create process is not finished until after the operating system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system. However, the arrays are immediately available to use for either a bootable array or a data array. y If the system is booted from an AMD-RAID bootable array, the first array in the Arrays section must be the bootable array.
Delete Arrays Important Deleting an array permanently destroys all data that is on the array. This action cannot be undone and it is very unlikely the data can be recovered. To delete an array 1. At the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Delete Array and press Enter. AMD-RAID Array Configuration Deletes one or more arrays that are configured on this controller Arrays Disks 1----RAID0, 1.
Swap Arrays Use the Swap Two Arrays option to arrange arrays in a different order. Important If more than one array is created, install the operating system to any of them. However, a small amount of boot information is always written to a disk(s) in the first array (Array 1) of the Array section, regardless on which array the operating system is installed. If anything happens to a disk in Array 1, the system might not be able to boot.
Manage Spares This option allows the user to assign or unassign global or dedicated spares. At the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Manage Host Spare(s) and press Enter to enter submenu.
Change the Controller Options Controller Options allows the user to configure options for the boot sequence. At the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Controller Options and press Enter to enter submenu.
Change the Staggered Spinup Count Depending on a systems power supply load-rating, you might want to limit the number of disks that are spun-up together when a system is powered on. 1. At the Controller Options submenu, use the arrow keys to highlight Set Staggered Spinup Count and press Enter. The number within the brackets changes colour to indicate it is selected. 2. Use the arrow keys to change the number within the brackets. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 8. 3. Press Enter to save the setting.
Using UEFI to create a 2.2TB RAID If you plan to create a RAID volume greater than 2.2TB, you can only manually create the RAID array in UEFI mode. The steps are described below. WARNING Create raid array will erase all the data stored on hard drives! Make sure to back up your files! There is no way to reverse the process! 1. Power on and press Delete key to enter BIOS Setup menu. 2. Press F7 to switch to Advanced mode from EZ mode. 3.
Installing RAID Driver New Operating System Installation The following details the installation of the drivers while installing operating system. 1. During the operating system installation, after selecting the location to install Windows click on Load driver button to install a third party RAID driver. 2. When prompted, insert the USB flash drive with AMD RAID Drivers and then click Browse. To make an AMD RAID Drivers USB flash drive. Insert the MSI Driver Disc into the optical drive.
Troubleshooting Before sending the motherboard for RMA repair, try to go over troubleshooting guide first to see if your got similar symptoms as mentioned below. The power is not on. y Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet securely. y Check if all ATX power connectors like ATX_PWR1, CPU_PWR1 are connected from the power supply to the motherboard? y Some power supply units have a power button on the rear side, make sure the button is turned on.
