Match the Processor and BIOS

The board supports compatible AMD AM4 Ryzen 2000, 3000, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series desktop processors, subject to the exact CPU-support list and required BIOS. Check the exact processor entry and required BIOS version before installation, especially when updating an existing system. Two physical x16 slots and three x1 slots provide expansion. The main slot’s PCIe generation and usable lanes depend on the installed Ryzen processor. Plan the graphics card and other expansion devices around those connections, keeping the processor’s capabilities and the motherboard’s physical slot layout together as one platform.

4 Slots for DDR4 Memory

The board uses 4 DDR4 DIMM slots with dual-channel support. Select a compatible kit from the manufacturer’s memory guidance and fit the modules in the recommended positions. Memory profiles and attainable speed depend on the CPU, installed BIOS and module arrangement; a kit’s advertised profile does not guarantee the same operating speed with every system configuration.

Plan the Storage Positions

M2_1 supports up to PCIe 4.0 x4 with a suitable processor, and PCIe 3.0 x4 with the older processor configurations listed in the manual. M2_2 supports PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA M.2 drives. Check the installed processor and storage configuration before choosing the connections. The board also provides 8 SATA 6Gb/s ports. Check the slot-sharing conditions before choosing the positions for the boot SSD, additional storage and expansion cards. The number of physical connectors should be considered alongside any shared lanes or processor-generation requirements in the board’s supported configuration.

Network Connections for the Desk

Intel I211AT Gigabit LAN provides the wired network connection. Intel Wi-Fi 6 supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands; Bluetooth is included. The available connection speed also depends on the surrounding network, connected router or switch, operating system and driver support. Choose the network path around the system’s intended use, leaving access to the rear connectors and any wireless antennas in the completed desk arrangement.

Display, USB and Audio Connections

The board provides HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4. The motherboard display outputs require a supported processor with integrated graphics. 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-A, 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C and 6 × USB 5Gbps Type-A are available on the rear panel. Realtek ALC1220 with Purity Sound 4 and optical S/PDIF supplies onboard audio. Match each external device with the port’s supported function, including the display cable, audio connection and data interface needed for the equipment being used.
