Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you
work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
mainboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis.

1.7 Power Supply
1.7.1 ATX Power Connectors: ATXPWR1, ATX12V1
These ATX power connectors provide connections from power supply unit (PSU) to the mainboa rd.
Both connectors need to be installed in order for the mainboard to function properly. The power
supply plugs are designed to fit with these ATX power connectors in one orientation only. To
connect these power supply plugs; find the proper orientation first, and then push down the power
supply plugs firmly until the connectors are completely fit.
If you’d like to use the 20-pin ATX power supply, please align the 20-pin power connector from
PSU to pin 1 & pin 13 of “EATXPWR1”. There is also a foolproof design on pin 11, 12, 23, & 24 to
avoid wrong installation.
1. It is recommended that you use a power supply unit (PSU) that complies with ATX
12V specification 2.0 (or later version), and provides a minimum power of 500W. If
you are planning to fully loaded the slots and/or use a PCI-E x16 graphic card, a
power supply with minimum power of 600W or more might be needed.
2. Do not forget to connect the 4-pin “ATX12V1” power plug; otherwise, the system
will not boot.
3. Use of a PSU with a higher power output is recommended when configuring a
system with more power-consuming devices. The system may become unstable or
may not boot if the power supply is inadequate.

1.11 The Expansion Slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the
expansion slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.
Fail to do so may cause injury and damage mainboard.
There are 4 PCI Express slots on this motherboard:
PCIE1 (PCIE x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16, or PCI Express x4 cards.
PCIE2 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
PCIE3 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
PCIE4 (PCIE x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 cards.
1.11.1 Installation of Expansion Card
To install an expansion Card:
1. Before install the expansi on card, read the documentation that came with it and make the
necessary hardware setting for the card.
2. Remove the chassis cover (if the mainboard is installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the expansion slot bracket from the chassis on the slot that you intend to use. Keep
the screw for later use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press it firmly until the card is completely seated on
the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw that have been removed earlier (in step 3).
6. Place the chassis cover back on.
1.11.2 Setup An Expansion Card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.

2.1 Starting Up Your System
1. After all connections are made, close your computer case cover.
2. Be sure all the switches are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to the local
voltage, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used.
3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case
according to your system user’s manual.
4. Turn on your peripheral in following order:
a. Your monitor.
b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…)
c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply and press
the ATX power switch on the front side of the case.
5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the monitor may light up
or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it complies with green standards or if it
is has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on test. While the test are running,
the BIOS will alarm beeps or additional message will appear on the screen.
If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power. The system may
have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for
assistance.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
3.1 BIOS Flash Related Procedure
1. After the BIOS is flashed, shut down the system.
2. Disconnect all power connections from power supply to the mainboard.
3. Clear the CMOS by relocate the jumper connector on header “CLRMOS” from pin 1-2 to pin 2-3
for at least 30 seconds.
4. Relocate the jumper connector on header “CLRMOS” from pin 2-3 back to pin 1-2.
4. Reconnect all power connections from power supply to the mainboard.
5. When the system is booting at first time after the new BIOS is flashed, it is recommended to
enter the BIOS; load the option “Load Optimized Defaults”, and then “Save and Exit Setup”.
IF ANY OF THE STEPS DESCRIBED ABOVE IS NOT FOLLOWED, IT MAY CAUSE THE
FLASHED BIOS NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
3.2 Introducing BIOS
The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program is a bridge
between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gains
control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the
necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware
synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed, the BIOS then transfer the control of the
computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to
communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its
best.
In the BIOS Setup main menu, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in
the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use
here:
• Press <Esc> to quit the BIOS Setup.
• Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or
to modify.
•Press <F10> when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters
and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
44
Page 45
•Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active
option.
3.3 Entering BIOS Setup Menu
Power on the computer and by pressing <DEL> immediately allows you to enter BIOS Setup Menu.
If you are not able to enter the BIOS menu but you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again
by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by
simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
The items under each BIOS category described in this chapter are under continuous
update for better system performance. Therefore, the description may be slightly
different from the latest BIOS and should be held for reference only.
