How to Install Asus PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI Desktop Motherboard
- Unpack the motherboard and verify you have a compatible AMD Threadripper PRO processor and sufficient cooling for sustained high performance. Ensure your power supply provides enough wattage for a multi-core CPU, high-end GPU(s), and storage drives.
- Install the CPU into the sTR5 socket following the processor’s orientation guide, then apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste and mount your CPU cooler securely to maintain optimal temperatures during heavy workloads.
- Insert memory modules into the recommended DIMM slots for best performance and stability. Enable memory profiles in the BIOS if you plan to use XMP/DOCP profiles for overclocking headroom.
- Mount the motherboard inside a compatible SSI CEB chassis with the correct standoffs. Connect the 24-pin ATX power and the appropriate CPU power connectors from your power supply, plus any additional 8-pin or 4-pin power lines required by the board.
- Install PCIe expansion cards (graphics cards, accelerators, etc.) into the PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and any other PCIe slots as needed. Install PCIe NVMe drives in the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots for ultrafast storage performance.
- Connect networking cables for 10 GbE and 2.5 GbE LAN ports. If you are using the onboard WiFi, install any required antennas and drivers during OS setup.
- Power on and enter the BIOS to update to the latest firmware. Configure memory timings and XMP profiles, set PCIe to the desired operation mode, and enable any CPU overclocking features you intend to use. Save changes and reboot.
- Install an operating system and download drivers for the chipset, network adapters, and any onboard features (WiFi, audio, etc.). Keep BIOS and drivers up to date to ensure stability with Threadripper PRO CPUs and PCIe 5.0 devices.
- Test with a representative workload to validate stability, thermals, and performance. Fine-tune fan curves and power limits to balance performance with cooling efficiency in your specific workstation environment.
