Note when installing the memory make sure to begin with the first socket of each channel such as 17
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory make sure that the motherboard supports the memory it is recommended that memory of the same capacity brand speed and chips be used go to gigabyte s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules 17
Refer to the table below for memory installation according to the number of the memory modules you want to install 17
When using a 44 lane 28 lane cpu this motherboard supports 4 channel technology after the memory is installed the bios will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory the eight ddr4 memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following 17

The power button allows users to quickly turn on off the computer in an open case environment when they want to change hardware components or conduct hardware testing the oc button helps enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from their hardware but also the absolute most enjoyable oc experience 25
The status leds show whether the cpu graphics card memory and operating system are working properly after system power on if the cpu vga dram led is on that means the corresponding device is not working normally if the boot led is on that means you haven t entered the operating system yet 25

Connector 27
The 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 27
To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 27
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components onthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation 27
