Hardware Installation
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.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
•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.
•When installing a single memory module, we recommend that you install it in the DDR4_A2 socket.
1-4-1 DualChannelMemoryConguration
This motherboard provides four memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory
isinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.EnablingDual
Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets
as following:
Channel A: DDR4_A1, DDR4_A2
Channel B: DDR4_B1, DDR4_B2
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual 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, when
enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in
the DDR4_A2 and DDR4_B2 sockets.

1/2) ATX_12V/ATX_12V1/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connectors and 2x12 Main Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the
componentsonthemotherboard.Beforeconnectingthepowerconnector,rstmakesurethepower
supply is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof
design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,
the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high
power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide
the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

21) BAT (Battery)
Thebatteryprovidespowertokeepthevalues(suchasBIOScongurations,date,andtimeinformation)
in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a
low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one
minute. (Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive
and negative terminals of the battery holder, making them short for
5 seconds.)
3. Replace the battery.
4. Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.
•Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.
•Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Damage to your devices may occur if the battery
is replaced with an incorrect model.
•Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by
yourself or uncertain about the battery model.
•When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-)
of the battery (the positive side should face up).
•Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.

BIOS Setup
- 39 -
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS 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 allows
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.
•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating
system.
•@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the
Internet and updates the BIOS.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 5, "BIOS Update Utilities."
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrent
versionofBIOS,itisrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwith

•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.
(Refertothe"LoadOptimizedDefaults"sectioninthischapterorintroductionsofthebatteryor

B. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure to use a
new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed
drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.
While in the operating system, make sure the Chipset and RAID drivers have been installed. Then double-click
the RAIDXpert2 icon on the desktop to launch the RAID utility.
Step 1:
Enter the login ID and password (default: "admin"),
and then click Submit to launch AMD RAIDXpert2.
Step 2:
In the Disk Devices section, left-click your mouse
twice on the newly-added hard drive.
Step 3:
On the next screen, select Assign as Global Spare
and click Conrm.
Step 4:
During the rebuild process, you can select the array
that is being built (displayed in red) in the Active
Volumes section to check the current progress.
Step 5:
Then rebuild is complete when the Task State
column shows "COMPLETED."

GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash™ and @BIOS™. GIGABYTE Q-Flash
and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS mode.
Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS™ design and supports Q-Flash Plus, providing multiple
protection for the safety and stability of your computer.
What is DualBIOS™?
Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS and a backup BIOS. Normally, the
system works on the main BIOS. However, if the main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will
take over on the next system boot to ensure normal system operation.
What is Q-Flash Plus?
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest BIOS
onaUSBthumbdriveandplugitintothededicatedport,andthenyoucannowashtheBIOSautomatically
by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button.
What is Q-Flash™?
With Q-Flash you can update the system BIOS without having to enter operating systems like MS-DOS or
Windowrst.EmbeddedintheBIOS,theQ-Flashtoolfreesyoufromthehasslesofgoingthroughcomplicated
BIOSashingprocess.
What is @BIOS™?
@BIOS allows you to update the system BIOS while in the Windows environment. @BIOS will download the
latestBIOSlefromthenearest@BIOSserversiteandupdatetheBIOS.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate
using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference
to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that
necessary for successful communication.
