or change any motherboard settings.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard
components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard
components.
In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or
in the bag that comes with the components.
When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.1 Installing the CPU
CAUTION:
Please note that X99 platform is only compatible with the LGA 2011-3 socket, which is
incompatible with the LGA 2011 socket (for X79 platform).
1. Before you insert the -Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the is on 2011-3 PnP cap
the socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any in the socket. Do bent pins
not force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged .
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

DDR4_B2 Populated
DDR4_C1 Populated Populated

Due to Intel® CPU spec denition, please install the memory modules on DDR4_A1,
DDR4_B1, DDR4_C1 and DDR4_D1 for rst priority. If the four DDR4 DIMM slots
above are fully installed, and you want to use more than four memory modules, please
install the other memory modules from le to right (from DDR4_A2, DDR4_B2,
DDR4_D2 to DDR4_C2.)
If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Dual
Channel Memory Technology is activated. If three memory modules are installed, then
Triple Channel Memory Technology is activated. If more than four memory modules
are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Quad Channel Memory Technology is
activated.
1. For quad channel conguration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,
speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
3. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the
motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

2.5 Jumpers Setup
e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper
is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”
when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.7 or p.8, No. 29)
CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system
parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power
cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to
short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear
the CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when
you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut
it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,
date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is
removed.

A B
is motherboard has two BIOS chips, a primary BIOS (BIOS_A) and a backup BIOS (BIOS_
B), which enhances the safety and stability of your system. Normally, the system will work
on the primary BIOS. However, if the primary BIOS is corrupted or damaged, just ip the
BIOS Selection Switch to “B”, then the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot.
Aer that, use “Secure Backup UEFI” in the UEFI Setup Utility to duplicate a working copy
of the BIOS les to the primary BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For safety issues,
users are not able to update the backup BIOS manually. Users may refer to the BIOS LEDs
(BIOS_A_LED or BIOS_B_LED) to identify which BIOS is currently activated.
