is is a Deep mini-ITX form factor motherboard. Before you install the
motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the
motherboard ts into it.
Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
•
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard
components.
•
In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
•
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
•
Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or
in the bag that comes with the components.
•
When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.1 Installing the CPU
1. Before you insert the 1718-Pin CPU into the socket, please check if the PnP cap is on the
socket, if the CPU surface is unclean, or if there are any bent pins in the socket. Do not
force to insert the CPU into the socket if above situation is found. Otherwise, the CPU
will be seriously damaged.
2. Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

Please save the cover if the processor is removed. e cover must be placed if you wish to
return the motherboard for aer service.
Make sure the black cover plate
is always in place until it pops o
when closing the socket lever.
Make sure the CPU is aligned with the
socket before locking it into place.

2.2 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink
Aer you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger
heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease
between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the
CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.
Installing the CPU Cooler
Please turn o the power or remove the power cord before changing a CPU or heatsink.

2. It is unable to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three memory
module installed.
3. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 , DDR3 or DDR4 memory module into a DDR5
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
4. e DIMM only ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the
motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Please adjust the BIOS option
“Clear Status” to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.
2.5 Jumpers Setup
e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is
“Open”.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.5, No. 12)
Short: Clear CMOS
Open: Default
CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. e data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup
parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please
turn o the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short
the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper
cap aer clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just nish
updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it down
before you do the clear-CMOS action.

is motherboard is equipped with AMD USB BIOS Flashback feature that allows you to update
BIOS without powering on the system.
USB Drive Requirements
e USB drive that is used for the BIOS update feature should meet the following requirements:
• USB 2.0 only
• Capacity up to 32GB
• Must be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
Root Directory Files
In the root directory there are two required les:
• BIOSUBU.BIN (required)
• PSPBIOS.IMG (required)
To use the USB BIOS Flashback function, please follow the steps below.
1. Download the latest BIOS le and BIOSUBU.BIN le from ASRock's website:
http://www.asrock.com.
2. Copy the BIOS le to your USB ash drive. Please make sure the le system of your USB ash
drive must be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32.
3. Extract BIOS le from the zip le.
4. Rename the le to “PSPBIOS.IMG”. Save it and BIOSUBU.BIN le to the root directory of X:
USB ash drive.
5. Install the CPU, CPU fan and DRAM on the motherboard. It is recommended to install the
CPU fan to CPU_FAN1 connector. Plug the 8-pin ATX 12V power connector and 24-pin ATX
power connector to the motherboard. en turn on the power supply's AC switch.
*ere is no need to power on the system.
6. en plug your USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback port.
7. Press the BIOS Flashback Switch for about three seconds. en the system starts BIOS
ashing automatically and the LED starts to blink.
8. Wait until the LED stops blinking, indicating that BIOS ashing has been completed. is
takes around 2 and a half minutes. en the system restarts and enter BIOS.
*If the LED light turns solid green, this means that the BIOS Flashback is not operating
properly. Please turn o the power supply's AC switch to disconnect power for several minutes,
and turn it on again.
**If the LED does not light up at all, this means that the BIOS Flashback does not work. Please
turn o the power supply's AC switch to disconnect power for several minutes, and turn it on
again.
Before using the BIOS Flashback function, please suspend BitLocker and any encryp-
tion or security relying on the TPM. Make sure that you have already stored and
backup-ed the recovery key. If the recovery key is missing while encryption is active,
the data will stay encrypted and the system will not boot into the operating system. It
is recommended to disable fTPM before updating the BIOS. Otherwise an unpredict-
able failure may occur.

system. You may run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY by pressing <F2> or <Del> right
aer you power on the computer, otherwise, the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) will
continue with its test routines. If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY aer
POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the
reset button on the system chassis. You may also restart by turning the system o
and then back on.

4.3 OC Tweaker Screen
In the OC Tweaker screen, you can set up overclocking features.
Performance Preset
Use the ASRock Performance Preset.
Platform Thermal Throttle Limit (TjMax)
Allows the user to decrease the maximum allowed processor temperature (celsius).
DRAM Frequency
If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s) inserted
and assign the appropriate frequency automatically. Setting DRAM Frequency can
adjust DRAM Timing.
DRAM Prole Conguration
Load EXPO/XMP settings to overclock the DDR5 memory and perform beyond
standard specications.

DRAM Timing Conguration
VDDIO Voltage (VDDIO_MEM_S3)
DDR5 bus signaling (PHY) is derived from VDDIO_MEM_S3.
DRAM VDD Voltage
Use this item to congure the VDD Voltage supported by PMIC at DRAM side.
DRAM VDDQ Voltage
Use this item to congure the VDDQ Voltage supported by PMIC at DRAM side.
DRAM VPP Voltage
Use this item to congure the VPP Voltage supported by PMIC at DRAM side.
Innity Fabric Frequency and Dividers
AMD Overclocking Setup Set Innity Fabric frequency (FCLK). Auto: FCLK =
MCLK. Manual: FCLK must be less than or equal to MCLK for best performance in
most cases. Latency penalties are incurred if FCLK and MCLK are mismatched, but
suciently high MCLK can negate or overcome this penalty.
UCLK DIV1 MODE
Use this item to set UCLK DIV1 MODE.
SoC/Uncore OC Voltage(VDD_SOC)
Allows you to specify the SoC/Uncore voltage (VDD_SOC) to support memory and Innity
Fabric overclocking. VDD_SOC also determines the GPU voltage on processors with
integrated graphics.
VDD Misc Voltage
Allows you to congure the PCIe, DP Phy, PLL, ClkGen, and Pmux Supply.
VDDG CCD Voltage
VDDG CCD represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity Fabric. It is derived
from the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach but not exceed
VDD_SOC.
VDDG IOD Voltage
VDDG IOD represents voltage for the data portion of the Innity Fabric. It is derived from
the CPU SoC/Uncore Voltage (VDD_SOC). VDDG can approach but not exceed VDD_
SOC.
