Safety Information
Electrical safety
⚫To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet
before relocating the system.
⚫When adding or removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables
for the devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.
⚫Before connecting or removing signal cables from the motherboard, ensure that all
power cables are unplugged.
⚫Seek professional assistance before using an adapter or extension cord. These devices
could interrupt the grounding circuit.
⚫Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area. If you are not
sure about the voltage of the electrical outlet you are using, contact your local power
company.
⚫If the power supply is broken, do not try to fix it by yourself. Contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.
Operation safety
⚫Before installing the motherboard and adding devices on it, carefully read all the manuals
that came with the package.
⚫Before using the product, make sure all cables are correctly connected and the power
cables are not damaged. If you detect any damage, contact your dealer immediately.
⚫To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors,
slots, sockets and circuitry.
⚫Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area
where it may become wet.
⚫Place the product on a stable surface.
⚫If you encounter technical problems with the product, contact a qualified service
technician or your retailer.

Chapter 1 - Product Introduction
1.1 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change
any motherboard settings.
⚫Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
⚫Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a
metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling
components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity
⚫Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
⚫Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or in the bag that came with the component.
⚫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, and/or components.

1.2 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the
motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the motherboard.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
1.2.1 Placement Direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct
orientation. The edgewith external portsgoes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the
image below.
1.2.2 Screw Holes
Secure the Motherboard with nine (9) screws into the holes indicated below circles on red to
secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.
Place this side
towards the rear of
the chassis.

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1700 socket designed for the Intel®
Core™i9/ i7/ i5/ i3 processor in the 1700-land package.
⚫Your boxed Intel® Core™i9/ i7/ i5/ i3 LGA1700 processor
package should come with installation instructions for the CPU,
fan and heatsink assembly. If the instructions in this section do
not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
⚫Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap
is on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your
retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any
damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboard components.
BCM will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is
shipment/transit-related.
⚫Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. BCM will process
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1700 socket.
⚫The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or
misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
⚫Install the CPU fan and heatsink assembly before you install
motherboard to the chassis.
If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make
sure that you have properly applied Thermal Interface Material to the
CPU heatsink or CPU before you install the heatsink and fan
assembly.

RX610H User’s Manual

1.3.1 Installing the CPU
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on your left.
2.
(1) Gently press the CPU Socket lever handle down and away from the socket.
(2) Completely lift up the CPU socket locking lever.
(3) Use the finger tab on the side of the metal load plate with the plastic protective cover
cap attach to it.
To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the Protective
cover cap unless you are installing a CPU. Keep the Protective cover
incase the board need to send back to factory for service, you will
need to place it back to cover the socket to protect socket Pin.
