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.
• Ensure 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 x it by yourself. Contact a qualied service
technician or your retailer.

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.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded
object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due
to static electricity.
• 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, or components.
Unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can
cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.
The pin denitions in this chapter are for reference only. The pin names depend on the
location of the header/jumper/connector.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the 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, or components.
• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the addressable RGB LED strip is
connected in the correct orientation, and the 5V connector is aligned with the 5V
header on the motherboard.
• The addressable RGB LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
• The addressable RGB LED strip is purchased separately.
11. Aura RGB headers
The RGB headers allow you to connect RGB LED strips.
The RGB headers support 5050 RGB multi-color LED strips (12V/G/R/B), with a maximum
power rating of 3A (12V), and no longer than 3m.
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, or components.
• Actual lighting and color will vary with LED strip.
• If your LED strip does not light up, check if the RGB LED extension cable and the
RGB LED strip are connected in the correct orientation, and the 12V connector is
aligned with the 12V header on the motherboard.
• The LED strip will only light up when the system is powered on.
• The LED strip is purchased separately.
12. Clear CMOS header
This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data of the system setup
information such as date, time, and system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-
enter data.
If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and short the two pins again to
clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the battery.
13. COM Port header
This header is for a serial (COM) port. Connect the serial port module cable
to this header, then install the module to a slot opening at the back of the

18. Q-LEDs
The Q-LEDs check key components (CPU, DRAM, VGA, and booting devices) during the
motherboard booting process. If an error is found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up
until the problem is solved.
The Q-LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error code as a starting point for
troubleshooting. The actual cause may vary from case to case.
19. BIOS FlashBackTM LED
The FlashBack™ LED lights up or blinks to indicate the status of the BIOS
FlashBack™.

1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
This motherboard comes with an AMD Socket AM4 designed for
AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ 5000 G-Series/ 4000 G-Series/ 3000
Series Desktop Processors.
Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
The AM4 socket has a different pinout design. Ensure that you use a CPU designed for the
AM4 socket. The CPU ts in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the
socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU!
Installing the CPU
Apply the Thermal Interface Material to the CPU heatsink and CPU before you install the
heatsink and fan if necessary.

1.4 System memory
This motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module
(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:
Channel Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1 & DIMM_A2*
Channel B DIMM_B1 & DIMM_B2*
DIMM_A2*
DIMM_A1
DIMM_B2*
DIMM_B1
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system
maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any
excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel
operation.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we
recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C)
from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
• A DDR4 memory module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module.
DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect
(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module.
Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a
lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
• For system stability, use a more efcient memory cooling system to support a full
memory load.
• Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualied Vendors Lists), and
memory frequency support depends on the CPU types.
