How to use

Install compatible DDR4 SO‑DIMMs and an M.2 SSD according to the motherboard layout and mounting points provided with the barebone. Connect power and network (Ethernet or configure Wi‑Fi 6E), attach display(s) to the available video outputs, and complete system setup by installing an operating system and required drivers. Use the active cooling fan and ventilation areas as intended—do not block airflow—to ensure stable performance during prolonged operation.

Recommendations

For best results, populate both memory slots to take advantage of dual-channel DDR4 operation, choose an NVMe SSD for faster storage performance, and keep BIOS and wireless drivers up to date. Allow clearance around ventilation openings and use on stable surfaces to maintain airflow and reduce noise.
