1-4-1 Four Channel Memory Conguration
This motherboard provides sixteen DDR4 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After
thememory is installed, theBIOS will automatically detectthe specications and capacityof the memory.
Enabling Four Channel memory mode will be four times of the original memory bandwidth.
The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into four channels each channel has two memory sockets as
following:
Channel 1: DIMM_P0_A0/DIMM_P0_A1 (For primary CPU)/
DIMM_P1_E0/DIMM_P1_E1 (For secondary CPU)
Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0/DIMM_P0_B1 (For primary CPU)
DIMM_P1_F0/DIMM_P1_F1 (For secondary CPU)
Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0/DIMM_P0_C1 (For primary CPU)
DIMM_P1_G0/DIMM_P1_G1 (For secondary CPU)
Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0/DIMM_P0_D1 (For primary CPU)
DIMM_P1_H0/DIMM_P1_H1 (For secondary CPU)
1-4 Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the
same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing
the memory to prevent hardware damage.
• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one
direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.
1. Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR4 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

SYS_FAN5 (CPU Fan/System Fan Headers)
The motherboard has two 4-pin CPU fan headers, and four 4-pin system fan headers. Most fan
headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the
correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan
speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat
dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.
• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from
overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that
allowstheusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.Whenthe
power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the
