Match the Processor and BIOS

The board supports compatible 12th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors listed by MSI; check the current CPU-support list and BIOS requirement for later-generation upgrades. Check the exact processor entry and required BIOS version before installation, especially when updating an existing system. The main slot supports PCIe 4.0 x16; the additional slot supports PCIe 3.0 x1. 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.

2 Slots for DDR4 Memory

The board uses 2 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

The single M-key M.2 storage position supports PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA M.2 drives in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. A SATA M.2 drive in M2_1 disables SATA7. The separate E-key position is for an optional wireless module, not a second storage SSD. The board also provides 4 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 I219V Gigabit LAN provides the wired network connection. An E-key socket is provided for an optional Wi-Fi module; this non-Wi-Fi model does not promise an included wireless module. 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, DisplayPort 1.4 and VGA. The motherboard display outputs require a supported processor with integrated graphics. 2 × USB 5Gbps Type-A and 4 × USB 2.0 Type-A are available on the rear panel. Realtek ALC892 / ALC897, as listed for the shared hardware revision family 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.

Which processors can be installed?

compatible 12th Generation Intel Core, Pentium Gold and Celeron processors listed by MSI; check the current CPU-support list and BIOS requirement for later-generation upgrades. Check the exact CPU-support list and required BIOS.

Which memory generation is required?

DDR4 desktop DIMMs, with 2 slots and dual-channel support. The kit must be compatible with the CPU and motherboard.

How is M.2 storage configured?

The single M-key M.2 storage position supports PCIe 3.0 x4 or SATA M.2 drives in 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. A SATA M.2 drive in M2_1 disables SATA7. The separate E-key position is for an optional wireless module, not a second storage SSD.

What network connections are included?

Intel I219V Gigabit LAN. An E-key socket is provided for an optional Wi-Fi module; this non-Wi-Fi model does not promise an included wireless module.

Can every supported CPU use the display outputs?

No. The motherboard’s display outputs require a supported CPU with integrated graphics.
