802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E + BT Module
This motherboard comes with an exclusive 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi 6E + BT v5.2
module that offers support for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi 6E connectivity standards
and Bluetooth v5.2. Wi-Fi 6E + BT module is an easy-to-use wireless local area
network (WLAN) adapter to support Wi-Fi 6E + BT. Bluetooth v5.2 standard features
Smart Ready technology that adds a whole new class of functionality into the mobile
devices. BT 5.2 also includes Low Energy Technology and ensures extraordinary low
power consumption for PCs.

* The transmission speed may vary according to the environment.

* Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz band) will be supported by Microsoft® Windows® 11. The availability
will depend on the different regulation status of each country and region. It will be
activated (for supported countries) through Windows Update and software updates
once available.
* A 6GHz compatible router is required for 6E functionality.

13
 Chapter 2 Installation
This is an EATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard,
study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
• Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard
components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries and damages to motherboard
components.
• In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
• Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
• Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or
in the bag that comes with the components.
• When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Installing the CPU Liquid Cooler

After you install the CPU into this motherboard, it is necessary to install a larger
heatsink and cooling fan to dissipate heat. You also need to spray thermal grease
between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Make sure that the
CPU and the heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other.

Please turn off the power or remove the power cord before changing a CPU or heatsink.

2.3 Installing Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR5 (Double Data Rate 5) DIMM slots,
and supports Quad Channel Memory Technology.

1. For quad channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand,
speed, size and chip-type) DDR5 DIMM pairs.
2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 , DDR3 or DDR4 memory module into a DDR5
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
3. If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR5 DIMM slots, then Dual Channel
Memory Technology is activated. If three memory modules are installed, then Triple
Channel Memory Technology is activated. If four memory modules are installed in the
DDR5 DIMM slots, then Quad Channel Memory Technology is activated.
4. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the
motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

 Expansion Slots (PCIe Slots)
There are 5 PCI Express slots on the motherboard.

Before installing an expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched off
or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion card and
make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.

PCIe slots:

PCIE1 (PCIe 5.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 4.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x4 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE3 (PCIe 5.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x16 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE4 (PCIe 5.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x8 lane width graphics cards.
PCIE5 (PCIe 4.0 x16 slot) is used for PCIe x8 lane width graphics cards.
*If you want to install a dual slot graphics card, install it to PCIE3.

For a better thermal environment, please connect a chassis fan to the motherboard’s
chassis fan connector (CHA_FAN1~3/WP) when using multiple graphics cards.

The illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on
the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is
“Open”.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1) (see p.7, No. 31)
CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup
parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please
turn off the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short
the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper
cap after clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish
updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down
before you do the clear-CMOS action.

2.12 Onboard Headers and Connectors

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over these
headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors will cause
permanent damage to the motherboard.

System Panel Header

(9-pin PANEL1) (see p.7, No. 24)
Connect the power button, reset button and system status indicator on the chassis
to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and
negative pins before connecting the cables.

PWRBTN (Power Button):

Connect to the power button on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn
off your system using the power button.

RESET (Reset Button):

Connect to the reset button on the chassis front panel. Press the reset button to restart the
computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (System Power LED):

Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the
system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep state. The
LED is off when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the
hard drive is reading or writing data.

The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power
button, reset button, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connect-
ing your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the
pin assignments are matched correctly.

 TRX50 WS

ASRock BIOS Flashback feature allows you to update BIOS without powering on the system, even
without CPU.

Before using the BIOS Flashback function, please suspend BitLocker and any encryption
or security relying on the TPM. Make sure that you have already stored and backup-ed
the recovery key. If the recovery key is missing while encryption is active, the data will stay
encrypted and the system will not boot into the operating system. It is recommended to dis-
able fTPM before updating the BIOS. Otherwise an unpredictable failure may occur.

To use the USB BIOS Flashback function, Please follow the steps below.
1. Download the latest BIOS file from ASRock's website : http://www.asrock.com.
2. Copy the BIOS file to your USB flash drive. Please make sure the file system of
your USB flash drive must be FAT32.
3. Extract BIOS file from the zip file.
4. Rename the file to “creative.rom” and save it to the root directory of X: USB flash drive.
5. Plug the 24 pin power connector to the motherboard. Then turn on the power supply's AC
switch.
*There is no need to power on the system.
6. Then plug your USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback port.
7. Press the BIOS Flashback Switch for about three seconds. Then the LED starts to blink.
8. Wait until the LED stops blinking, indicating that BIOS flashing has been completed.
*If the LED light turns solid green, this means that the BIOS Flashback is not
operating properly. Please make sure that you plug the USB drive to the USB BIOS Flashback
port.
**If the LED does not light up at all then please disconnect power from the system and remove/
disconnect the CMOS battery from the motherboard for several minutes. Reconnect power
and battery and try again.
