Motherboard information
2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
CAUTION!
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely
grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, always remove the AC power
by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

2.2 Motherboard layout
NOTE: Place eight screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the
motherboard to the chassis.
CAUTION! Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the
motherboard.

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the
Intel® 9th/8th Generation Core™ i9 / i7 / i5 / i3, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors.
LGA1151
IMPORTANT: Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
CAUTION!
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on
the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer
immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the
PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. The manufacturer will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. The manufacturer will
process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1151 socket.
• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/
incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data of the system
setup information such as date, time, and system passwords.
CLRTC

GND
PIN 1
Connector type
HEADER 1x2p, 2.54mm pitch, S/T
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup
to re-enter data.
NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move
the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS,
reinstall the battery.
2. Chassis intrusion header (4-1 pin_CHASSIS)
This header is for a chassis-mounted intrusion detection sensor or switch. Connect
one end of the chassis intrusion sensor or switch cable to this connector. The
chassis intrusion sensor or switch sends a low-level signal to this connector
when a chassis component is installed. The signal is then generated as a chassis
intrusion event.
