Safety Information
y
The components included in this package are prone to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Please adhere to the following instructions to ensure successful computer assembly. y
Ensure that all components are securely connected. Loose connections may cause the computer to not recognize a component or fail to start. y
Hold the motherboard by the edges to avoid touching sensitive components. y
It is recommended to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling the motherboard to prevent electrostatic damage. If an ESD wrist strap is not available, discharge yourself of static electricity by touching another metal object before handling the motherboard. y
Store the motherboard in an electrostatic shielding container or on an anti-static pad whenever the motherboard is not installed. y
Before turning on the computer, ensure that there are no loose screws or metal components on the motherboard or anywhere within the computer case.
y
Do not boot the computer before installation is completed. This could cause permanent damage to the components as well as injury to the user. y
If you need help during any installation step, please consult a certified computer technician.
y
Always turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing any computer component.
y
Keep this user guide for future reference.
y
Keep this motherboard away from humidity.
y
Make sure that your electrical outlet provides the same voltage as is indicated on the PSU, before connecting the PSU to the electrical outlet.
y
Place the power cord such a way that people can not step on it. Do not place anything over the power cord.
y
All cautions and warnings on the motherboard should be noted.
y
If any of the following situations arises, get the motherboard checked by service personnel:
Liquid has penetrated into the computer.
The motherboard has been exposed to moisture.
The motherboard does not work well or you can not get it work according to user guide.
The motherboard has been dropped and damaged.
The motherboard has obvious sign of breakage.
y

CPU Socket
Introduction to the LGA 1151 CPU
The surface of the LGA 1151 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
y
Always unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the CPU.
y
Please retain the CPU protective cap after installing the processor. MSI will deal with Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests if only the motherboard comes with the protective cap on the CPU socket.
y
When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU heatsink. A CPU heatsink is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability.
y
Confirm that the CPU heatsink has formed a tight seal with the CPU before booting your system.
y
Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and motherboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.
y
Whenever the CPU is not installed, always protect the CPU socket pins by covering the socket with the plastic cap.
y
If you purchased a separate CPU and heatsink/ cooler, Please refer to the documentation in the heatsink/ cooler package for more details about installation.
y
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. MSI
®
does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

Important
y
Always insert memory modules in the
DIMM2
slot first.
y
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
y
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
y
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
y
Some memory may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the
Memory Try It!
to set the memory frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
y
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
y
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.

y
The PCI_E4 slot will only run PCIe 3.0 x1 speed when the PCI_E1 or PCI_E3 slot is installed a device.
y
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card ’ changes.

CPUFAN1~2, SYSFAN1~3: Fan Connectors
Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode and Voltage
Mode. PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with speed control signal. Voltage Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage. Therefore, when you plug a 3-pin (Non-PWM) fan to a PWM Mode fan connector, the fan speed will be always maintained at 100%, and that could be noisy.

Controlling the fan speed
There are two ways to manage fan speed. One is to go to
BIOS > HARDWARE
MONITOR
. The other is to use
COMMAND CENTER
application.
BIOS > HARDWARE MONITOR COMMAND CENTER
Both methods offer gradient points of the fan speed that allow you to adjust fan speed in relation to CPU temperature.

Software Description
RAID Configuration (optional)
Below are the different types of a RAID.
RAID 0
breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives.
Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance.
RAID 1
provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.
RAID 5
provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.
RAID 10
uses four hard drives to create a combination of RAID 0 and 1 by forming a
RAID 0 array from two RAID 1 arrays.
