1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:
Wear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
Touch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Installation Procedures
The mainboard has several user-adjustable jumpers on the board that allow you to
configure your system to suit your requirements. This chapter contains information
on the various jumper settings on your mainboard.
To set up your computer, you must complete the following steps:
Step 1 -Set system jumpers
Step 2 - Install memory modules
Step 3 - Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 4 - Install expansion cards
Step 5 - Connect ribbon cables, cabinet wires, and power supply
Step 6 - Set up BIOS software
Step 7 - Install supporting software tools
WARNING: Excessive torque may damage the mainboard. When
using an electric screwdriver on the mainboard, make sure that
the torque is set to the allowable range of 5.0 ~ 8.0kg/cm.
Mainboard components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit
(IC) chips. To prevent static electricity from harming any of the
sensitive components, you should follow the following precautions whenever working on the computer:
1. Unplug the computer when working on the inside.
2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC
||||chips, leads, or circuitry.
3. Wear an anti-static wrist strap which fits around the wrist.
4. Place components on a grounded anti-static pad or on the bag
that came with the component whenever the components are
separated from the system.

1). Set System Jumpers
Jumpers are used to select the operation modes for your system. Some jumpers on the board have three metal pins with each pin representing a different
function. A 1 is written besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. To set a
jumper, a black cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pin/s
according to the required configuration. A jumper is said to be shorted when
the black cap has been placed on one or two of its pins.
NOTE: Users are not encouraged to change the jumper settings
not listed in this manual. Changing the jumper settings improperly
may adversely affect system performance.
Clear CMOS
The CMOS RAM is powered by the onboard button cell battery. To
clear the RTC data:
(1) Turn off your computer;
(2) open the system case, disconnect the ATX power cable;
(3) place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 2-3 at least 6 seconds to enable
CMOS clearance;
(4) place the jumper cap onto the pinpair 1-2 to disable the effect of CMOS
clearance;
(5) connect the ATX power cable; close the system case;
(6) turn on your computer until CMOS checksum error appears;
(7) hold down the Delete key when boots;
(8) enter the BIOS Setup to re-enter user preferences.
