UID LED Button
The UID (Unit Identification) button help users identify and locate a system, especially
in high-density rack environments.
COM Port
A COM port, also called a serial port or DB9 connector, is a communication interface
for transferring data between a computer and external devices such as barcode
scanners, printers, and credit card machines. It’s commonly used for initial system
configuration and diagnostics on server boards and for connecting legacy devices
that lack modern interfaces. Users can connect a specially configured serial cable to
establish a serial connection.
VGA Port
The DB15-pin female connector is provided for monitors.
Connector
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is an all-digital audio/ video
interface capable of transmitting uncompressed streams. HDMI™ supports all TV
format, including standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 Port (USB 3.2 Gen 1/ USB 2.0)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is for attaching USB devices such as keyboards,
mouse, or other USB-compatible devices. USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports data transfer
rates up to 5 Gbit/s (SuperSpeed), while USB 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to
480Mbit/s (Hi-Speed).

Introduction to the AM5 CPU
The surface of the AM5 CPU has two
notches and a golden triangle to
assist in correctly lining up the CPU for
motherboard placement. The golden
triangle is the Pin 1 indicator.
⚠
Important
∙ Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the
cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that
you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the
heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
∙ While replacing the CPU, always turn off the power supply or unplug the power
supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the safety of CPU.
∙ Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.
∙ Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damage.
∙ Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pins with the plastic
cap covered.
∙ Please refer to the documentation in the CPU cooler package for more details about
the CPU cooler installation.
∙ Read the CPU status in BIOS.

Important
∙ Only support UDIMM.
∙ There should be at least 1 DDR5 DIMM populated.
∙ Paired memory installation for Max performance.
∙ If only 1 DIMM is populated in a channel, then populate it in the DIMMA2 slot.
∙ Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically: 1. Use the same DIMM
size; 2. Use the same number of ranks per DIMM.
∙ We don’t suggest other memory installation.

Installing Memory Modules
1. Open the side clips to unlock the DIMM slot.
2. Insert the DIMM vertically into the slot, ensuring that the off-center notch at the
bottom aligns with the slot.
3. Push the DIMM firmly into the slot until it clicks and the side clips automatically
close.
4. Verify that the side clips have securely locked the DIMM in place.
