1.1Motherboard overview
1.1.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
•Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

1 Chapter
•Ensure that all power cables are unplugged before installing the CPU.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/ transit-related.
•Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1151 socket.
•The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

1.1.4System memory
The motherboard comes with four DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) Quad Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots.
A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.
Recommended memory configurations
Chapter 1
|
ASUS PRIME Z270-A Series |
1-5 |
1 Chapter
Memory configurations
You may install 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB unbuffered and non ECC DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.
•Due to the memory address limitation on 32-bit Windows® OS, when you install 4 GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actual usable memory for the OS can be about 3 GB or less. For effective use of memory, we recommend that you do any of the following:
a)Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit Windows® OS.
b)Install a 64-bit Windows® OS when you want to install 4 GB or more on the motherboard.
c)For more details, refer to the Microsoft® support site at http://support.microsoft. com/kb/929605/en-us.
•This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 512 Mb (64 MB) chips or less (Memory chip capacity counts in Megabit, 8 Megabit/Mb = 1 Megabyte/MB).
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
•For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (4 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.
•Always install the DIMMS with the same CAS Latency. For an optimum compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or data code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to get the correct memory modules.

1.1.6Onboard buttons and switches
Onboard buttons and switches allow you to fine-tune performance when working on a bare or open-case system. This is ideal for overclockers and gamers who continually change settings to enhance system performance.

Power-on button |
Chapter |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The motherboard comes with a power-on button that allows you to power up or wake |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
up the system. The LED near the button also lights up when the system is plugged to |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
a power source indicating that you should shut down the system and unplug the power |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
cable before removing or installing any motherboard component. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

failure. If the system fails to boot during POST stage and the DRAM_LED near the |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
MemOK! button lights continuously, press the MemOK! button until the DRAM_LED |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
starts blinking. System will begin automatic memory compatibility tuning and reboot for |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
successful boot. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
•Refer to section 1.1.8 Onboard LEDs for the exact location of the DRAM_LED.
•The DRAM_LED also lights up when the DIMM is not properly installed. Turn off the system and reinstall the DIMM before using the MemOK! function.
•The MemOK! button does not function under Windows® OS environment.
•During the tuning process, the system loads and tests failsafe memory settings. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to test one set of failsafe settings. If the test fails, the system reboots and tests the next set of failsafe settings. The blinking speed of the DRAM_LED increases, indicating different test processes.
•Due to memory tuning requirement, the system automatically reboots when each timing set is tested. If the installed DIMMs still fail to boot after the whole tuning process, the DRAM_LED lights continuously. Replace the DIMMs with ones recommended in the Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists) at www.asus.com.
•If you turn off the computer and replace DIMMs during the tuning process, the system continues memory tuning after turning on the computer. To stop memory tuning, turn off the computer and unplug the power cord for about 5–10 seconds.
•If your system fails to boot up due to BIOS overclocking, press the MemOK! button to boot and load the BIOS default settings. A message will appear during POST reminding you that the BIOS has been restored to its default settings.
•We recommend that you download and update to the latest BIOS version from www.asus.com after using the MemOK! function.

1.1.7Jumpers
|
1. Clear RTC RAM jumper (2-pin CLRTC) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the |
1 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Chapter |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To erase the RTC RAM:
1.Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2.Short-circuit pin 1-2 with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10 seconds.
3.Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4.Hold down the <Delete> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never place a metal object or jumper cap on the
CLRTC jumper. Placing a metal object or jumper cap will cause system boot failure!
•If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and place a metal object or jumper cap again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After the CMOS clearance, reinstall the battery.
•You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
•Due to the chipset behavior, AC power off is required to enable C.P.R. function. You must turn off and turn on the power supply or unplug and plug the power cord before rebooting the system.
