*1 When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2 socket, SATA_2 port cannot be used.
Due to the Chipset limitation, when a M.2 device is installed in PCIe mode, the socket is set
to PCIe 2.0.

*1 HDMI 2.0 60Hz resolution support requires necessary drivers update.
*2 Actual number of Multi-graphic supported differs per Vendors´ Graphic cards. Please check with Vendor beforehand.
*3 M2X4_1 socket shares lane with the SATA6G_56 connector:
When using the M2X4_1 socket is PCIe or SATA device, the SATA_56 connector will be disabled.When using the SATA_56 connector, no device must be connected to the M2X4_1 connector.
M2X4_2 socket shares lane with the U.2_2 and SATA6G_12 connector:
When using the M2X4_2 socket is PCIe or SATA device, the U.2_2 connector will be disabled.
When using the M2X4_2 socket is SATA device, the SATA6G_12 connector will be disabled.When using the U.2_2 connector, no device must be connected to the M2X4_2 socket.
*4 Intel® Optane Technology is only supported when using 8/9th GEN CPU,but Celeron and Pentium Processors don’t support Optane Memory. Before using Intel® Optane memory modules, ensure that you have updated your motherboard drivers and BIOS to the latest version from ASUS support website.
