Before You Begin…

The Z370 Micro ushers in the new era of Intel®'s mainstream motherboards

with performance and features normally reserved for full-size motherboards.

Supporting Coffee Lake-S, Intel®’s 8th Generation Core processors, the Z370

Micro can be driven by up to 6 physical cores + Hyper-Threading. This board

contains standard features, including USB 3.0, M.2, Intel®Optane™ support,

7.1 Channel audio, reinforced PCI-e slots, an Intel®Gigabit NIC and included

Intel®Dual-Band WiFi + Bluetooth. However, there is nothing standard about

the Z370 Micro’s overclocking ability. The Micro features a Highly-Efficient

Digital VRM, 8 VCORE phases, an External Clock Generator, and full EVGA

E-LEET X support. Lastly, a board this powerful would not be complete

without 2-Way SLI Support to ensure your dominance over the field. With the

EVGA Z370 Micro, mainstream performance just found its new home.

Furthermore, this board is designed not only for overclockers, but also for

gamers with NVIDIA®2-Way SLI Support, without the need for PLX chips; an

external clock generator; blazing-fast networking, featuring an Intel®i219 NIC;

Intel®Dual-Band AC WiFi + BT; an M.2 Key-M slot and much more!

Lastly, a motherboard is only as good as its BIOS, and the EVGA Z370 Micro

features an updated UEFI/BIOS GUI with a focus on overclocking and

functionality in a lean, straightforward package. You won’t need to be an expert

to configure your motherboard, but if you are, you’ll find features unavailable

anywhere else.

Combining the best of current technology with the latest innovations, EVGA is

further refining motherboard performance!

EVGA assumes you have purchased all the necessary parts needed to allow for

proper system functionality. For a full list of supported CPUs on this

motherboard, please visit www.evga.com/support/motherboard

Intentions of the Kit

When replacing a different model motherboard in a PC case, you may need to

reinstall your operating system, even though the current HDD/SSD may

already have one installed. Keep in mind, however, you may sometimes also

need to reinstall your OS after a RMA even if your motherboard remains the

same due to issues that occurred prior to replacing the motherboard.

Intel® Z370 Micro Motherboard LED reference

The EVGA Z370 Micro Motherboard has several LEDs indicating power, connectivity,

and activity. Below is the location of the LEDs and their function.

EVGA Z370 MICRO (121-KS-E375)

- 10 -

1. CPU 12v. Error LED

a. RED: Voltage failure. The LED will remain on when the motherboard

detects an initialization failure in the CPU 12v. power connector. (This

may be caused by a failure to connect an 8-pin ATX/EPS power

connector, a power supply failure, or a failure with the CPU 12v.

connector)

2. CPU Error LED

a. RED: CPU error (This may be caused by improper installation, failed

CPU, or damage to the socket).

3. Memory Error LED

a. RED: Memory initialization failed. (This may be caused by memory

module improper installation or failed memory.)

4. 5VSB

a. WHITE: Voltage detected (Does not mean PSU is outputting in-spec;

only that this specific voltage is detected)

5. POST Code Indicator

a. After bootup, this will display the CPU temperature.

b. During boot, this LED will cycle through many different hexadecimal

POST codes with a range of 00-FF to indicate which aspect of the Power

On Self Test (POST) is currently running.

i. For list of POST Codes, please see Page 125.
