How to use

Install the motherboard into a compatible Mini-ITX case following the case manufacturer’s standoff pattern, then secure the AM5-compatible CPU and apply thermal solution per CPU vendor instructions. Fit DDR5 memory modules into the DIMM slots, connect power from a compatible power supply unit, and install storage devices in the M.2 slot(s) or SATA bays. Connect display, keyboard, mouse and other peripherals to the rear I/O. Configure firmware/UEFI settings on first boot to verify memory frequency, storage recognition and boot order before installing an operating system.

Recommendations

Use DDR5 memory modules listed on the motherboard’s qualified vendor list to ensure stability at intended frequencies, and choose a compact CPU cooler compatible with the Mini-ITX layout to maintain proper thermal performance. Ensure your power supply provides the required connectors and adequate wattage for your chosen CPU and discrete graphics card if installed.
