Processor
The board supports 8th generation Intel Core processors. Other processors may be
supported in the future. This board supports processors with a maximum wattage of
95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP).
NOTE
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Additional
power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
System Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
The Desktop Board has four 288-pin DDR4 u-DIMM sockets with gold-plated contacts.
These sockets support:
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
Non-ECC memory
Up to 64 GB of memory

You can reset the CMOS settings by using this jumper. This can be
useful if you have forgotten your system/setup password, or need to
clear the system BIOS setting.
1. Power off system and disconnect power connectors from the
motherboard.
2. Remove the jumper from Pin_1 and Pin_2 (Default setting).
3. Move the jumper cap to close Pin_2 and Pin_3 for several seconds
to Clear CMOS.
4. Put jumper cap back to Pin_1 and Pin_2 (Default setting).
5. Reconnect power connectors to the motherboard and power on
system.

Processor Installation (Single Socket LGA1151 for Intel Coffee lake CPU)
Follow the steps below to install the processors and heat sinks.
Please note that the illustrations are based on LGA1151 socket which may not look exactly like the
motherboard you purchased. Therefore, the illustrations should be held for your reference only.
NOTE: Please save and replace the flip CPU protection cap when returning for service.
Press to unlock the lever and open the CPU socket cover.
Open the socket cover to a fully position.
Remove the socket protection cap. NOTE: Save and replace the socket cover if the processor is
removed from its socket.

Install the processor and make sure the golden arrow is in the right direction.
Close the CPU socket cover.
Close the socket lever.

Heat sink Installation
After installing the processor, you will need to proceed to install the heat sink. The CPU heat sink will
ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as
long as you own them. An overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard. The processors
will overheat within seconds, enter thermal protection, and shut down if heatsinks are not installed.
Caution：Take caution of the air flow must be in the direction which paralleled with memories.
For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heat sink, using
heat sinks validated by Intel®. Please refer to the Intel® website: http://www.intel.com
The following diagram illustrates how to install the heatsink on the Intel® Coffee lake Socket
LGA1151:
Apply the thermal grease.
Place the heat sink on top of the CPU.

Secure the heatsink screws.
Connect the heatsink fan cable.

Installing the Memory
Before installing memory, ensure that the memory you have is compatible with the motherboard and
processor.
Support (4)U-DDR4 288-pin DIMM slots
Support UDIMM DDR4 (Non-ECC).
Support (2) memory channels per CPU
Support UDIMM 2666MHz up to 64 GB

NOTE:
1. √indicates a populated DIMM slot.
2. Use paired memory installation for max performance.
3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically
- Use the same DIMM size
- Use the same # of ranks per DIMM
4. Always install with DIMM_A1&B1 Slot first, following the alphabetical order.
Physical Ranks are used to calculate DIMM Capacity.
Supported DRAM Densities are 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb,16Gb.

Connecting External Devices
Connecting external devices to the motherboard is an easy task. The motherboard supports a
number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the following diagrams for the
details.
