This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards,
and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system
component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.

You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedures below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into
CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection function implemented, the system will be automatically power off when the
temperature of CPU reached 97 degree, but works on AthlonXP CPU only).
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and
up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.

Tip: If your system hangs or fails to boot because of overclocking, simply use <Home>
key to restore the default setting or you can wait the AOpen “Watch Dog Timer” reset
the system after five seconds and system will auto-detect hardware again.
