⚠
Important
∙
Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA1 slot first.
∙
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.
Based on processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is sug-
∙
gested to protect the processor.
Due to AM4 CPU/memory controller official specification limitation, the frequency
∙
of memory modules may operate lower than the marked value under the default
state. Please refer www.msi.com for more information on compatible memory.
PCI_E1~3 & PCI1: PCIe & PCI Expansion Slots
⚠
Important
When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and
∙
unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion
card's documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software
changes.
∙
If you install a large and heavy graphics card, you need to use a tool such as MSI
Gaming Series Graphics Card Bolster to support its weight to prevent deformation
of the slot.
