Motherboard overview
• 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.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
• Unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so
can cause you physical injury and damage to motherboard components.

Chapter 1: Product introduction
ATX power connectors (24-pin EATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V)
Correctly orient the ATX power supply plugs into these connectors and push down
rmly until the connectors completely t.
• For a fully congured system, we recommend that you use a power supply unit
(PSU) that complies with ATX 12V Specication 2.0 (or later version) and provides
a minimum power of 350 W.
• DO NOT forget to connect the 4-pin EATX +12V power plug. Otherwise, the system
will not boot up.
• We recommend that you use a PSU with higher power output when conguring a
system with more power-consuming devices or when you intend to install additional
devices. The system may become unstable or may not boot up if the power is
inadequate.
•
If you are uncertain about the minimum power supply requirement for your system,
refer to the Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator at http://support.
asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us for
details.
CPU and chassis fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 4-pin CHA_FAN)
Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the
black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.
Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufcient air ow inside
the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not
place jumper caps on the fan connectors! The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan
of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
Intel® LGA1151 CPU socket
Install Intel® LGA1151 CPU into this surface mount LGA1151 socket, which is
designed for 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 / i5 / i3, Pentium®, and Celeron®
processors.
For more details, refer to Central Processing Unit (CPU).
DDR4 DIMM slots
Install 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR4 DIMMs into these
DIMM sockets.
For more details, refer to System memory.
Serial port connectors (10-1 pin COM1_1, COM2)
Connect the serial port module cable to any of these connectors, then install the
module to a slot opening at the back of the system chassis.

M.2 socket 3
This socket allow you to install an M.2 (NGFF) SSD module.
M.2(SOCKET3)
This M.2 socket supports M Key and 2242/2260/2280 storage
devices.
Clear RTC RAM (2-pin CLRTC)
This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data
of the system setup information such as date, time, and
system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the
two pins.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and
enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.
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.
Intel® H310 Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_1~4)
These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA
6.0 Gb/s signal cables.
Chassis intrusion header (4-1 pin CHASSIS)
This header is for a chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch. Connect
one end of the chassis intrusion sensor or switch cable to this connector. The
chassis intrusion sensor or switch sends a high-level signal to this connector when
a chassis component is removed or replaced. The signal is then generated as a
chassis intrusion event.
By default, the pin labeled “Chassis Signal” and “Ground” are shorted with a jumper
cap. Remove the jumper caps only when you intend to use the chassis intrusion
detection feature.
Speaker connector (4-pin SPEAKER)
The 4-pin connector is for the chassis-mounted system warning speaker. The
speaker allows you to hear system beeps and warnings.
System panel connector (10-1 pin F_PANEL)
This connector supports several chassis-mounted functions.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)
This motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket
designed for the 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3,
Pentium® and Celeron® processors.
Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
• Ensure that you install the correct CPU designed for the LGA1151 socket only. DO
NOT install a CPU designed for LGA1150, LGA1155 and LGA1156 sockets on the
LGA1151 socket.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and
the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap
is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard
components.
• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise
Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the
LGA1151 socket.
• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from
incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP

Chapter 1: Product introduction
System memory
Overview
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module
(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system
maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any
excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel
operation.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we
recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C)
from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
• DDR4 2666MHz and higher memory modules will run at max. 2666MHz on Intel® 8th
Gen. 6-core or higher processors.
• Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133 MHz and its corresponding
timing or the loaded X.M.P. Prole is not the JEDEC memory standard. The stability
and compatibility of these memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and
other installed devices.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.
Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a
lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
