If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides two memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory
is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual
Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following:Channel
A: DDR5_A
Channel
B: DDR5_B
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, first make sure the power supply is turned
off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect thepower supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,
the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand highpower consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide therequired power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on themotherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS tokeep the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or Q-Flash Plus utility.
•• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
•• Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest
BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the dedicated port, and then you can now flash the BIOS
automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and Q-Flash Plus utilities, please navigate to the "Unique Features" pageof GIGABYTE's website and search for "BIOS Update Utilities."•• Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current
version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it withcaution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.
•• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent systeminstability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
•• Refer to the introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper/button in Chapter 2 or navigate to the"BIOS Setup" page of GIGABYTE's website and search for "Load Optimized Defaults" for how toclear the CMOS values.

&& Please visit GIGABYTE's website for details on configuring BIOS Setup.
https://www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/917/amd600-bios.html- 34 -Startup Screen:
The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.
