Compatibility and revision notes
ATX (305 × 244 mm). Match the label “GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK” and PCB revision 1.0 before using firmware or instructions. This board takes DDR3; verify CPU support and minimum BIOS in the GIGABYTE list, then check PCIe lane sharing, M.2/SATA sharing and DIMM rank/population notes in the manual.
Physical socket fit, chipset family or a matching module notch does not independently guarantee compatibility. Confirm the exact CPU, BIOS release, memory type/capacity, slot wiring, device protocol and board dimensions in the manufacturer documentation before building or servicing a system.
Preservation and repair
Record the full PCB model, revision and BIOS identifier before maintenance. Inspect socket contacts, DIMM/PCIe connectors, VRM area and electrolytic components; document any corrosion, rework or missing hardware. Use ESD-safe handling and follow the manual’s clear-CMOS procedure.
For an archive record, photograph labels and connector condition before cleaning. Do not cross-flash firmware from a similar model or revision, and never power a board with loose conductive hardware beneath it.
