Attention:

1.Attach the CPU and heatsink using silica gel to ensure full contact.

2.It is suggested to select high-quality, certified fans in order to avoid
damaging the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.

3. Never turn on the computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

4.Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before inserting or
removing expansion cards or other peripherals, especially when
you insert or remove a memory module. Failure to switch off the DC
power supply may result in serious damage to your system or

memory module.

Attention:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

overclock. Normal operation depends on the overclock capacity of

your device.

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgrated from time to time, the BIOS

description in this manual is just for reference. We do not guarantee

that the content of this manual will remain consistent with the actual

Chapter 1 Main Features

Jumpers

This section explains how to setup jumpers. You should read the following
content carefully prior to modifying any jumper settings.

Attention

The jumpers on the motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the
bold silkscreen next to it. And in this manual, pin 1 is simply la­beled as “ 1”.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS

The CLR_CMOS jumper allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data
includes system setup information such as system password, data, time,
and system setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to
default setup, please do as follows:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (default) to pins 1-2. Keep the cap on
pins 1-2 for several seconds, then move the cap back to pins 2-3.

3. Plug the power cord and turn on the computer.
