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.

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
