thememory is installed,the BIOS willautomatically detect thespecications 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/DIMM_P0_A2
Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0/DIMM_P0_B1/DIMM_P0_B2
Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0/DIMM_P0_C1/DIMM_P0_C2
Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0/DIMM_P0_D1/DIMM_P0_D2
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.

The motherboard has one 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.

SGPIO stands for Serial General Purpose Input/Output which is a 4-signal (or 4-wire) bus used between
a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and a backplane. Out of the 4 signals, 3 are driven by the HBA and 1 is driven
by the backplane. Typically, the HBA is a storage controller located inside a server, desktop, rack or
workstation computer that interfaces with Hard disk drives (HDDs) to store and retrieve data.

- 39 - BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the EFI on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
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
congurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <F2> key during the POST when the power is turned on.

InadequateBIOSashingmayresultinsystemmalfunction.
• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the Exit section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in
Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
