Installation and Usage Instructions
Safety Preparation: Before handling, ensure the computer is completely disconnected from all power sources. Touch a grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity from your body.
Installing the CPU: Lift the retention lever on the AM5 socket. Align the triangle marker on the AMD Ryzen CPU with the triangle on the socket and gently place it in. Ensure it sits flush, then lower and lock the lever.
Installing Memory: Open the latches on both ends of the DDR5 slot(s). Align the notch on the memory module with the ridge in the slot and press down firmly and evenly until the latches click into place automatically.
Installing the Motherboard: Install the I/O shield into the case chassis. Align the motherboard's mounting holes with the corresponding standoffs in the case. Secure the motherboard using the provided screws.
Connecting Power and Case Cables: Connect the 24-pin main power cable and the 8+8-pin CPU power cable(s). Refer to the motherboard manual to correctly connect the case's front panel switches, LEDs, and USB/audio headers.
Installing Storage and Graphics Card: Install the M.2 SSD into its slot and secure it with the screw. Insert the graphics card into the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and lock it in place.
Initial Power-On: Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. After connecting the power, use the case's power button or short the "PWR_SW" header on the motherboard to turn on the system.
Installing OS and Drivers: Enter BIOS setup if needed, then install your operating system. Afterwards, download and install all the latest drivers from the MSI website, especially chipset, network, and audio drivers.
Safety Warnings
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning: Motherboard components are highly sensitive to static electricity. Always wear an anti-static wrist strap or discharge static by touching a grounded metal surface before handling.
Electrical Safety: Always disconnect the computer's power cord from the wall outlet before assembling, disassembling, or adjusting any internal components. Never perform any operations while the system is powered on.
Cooling Requirement: A compatible and sufficiently performant CPU cooler must be installed. Powering on the system without a cooler installed will cause permanent damage to the CPU within seconds.
Compatibility Check: Before installation, always consult the motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for memory and the compatible processor list on the MSI website to ensure full compatibility and stability of all components.
Battery Warning: The CMOS battery (CR2032) on the motherboard is a button cell. If swallowed, it can cause serious harm. Dispose of old batteries properly.
