Warning:
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
damage to the motherboard and CPU due high temperatures.
3.Never turn on the machine 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.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while
over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity
of your device.

Audio. Their priority is sequenced from high
to low (Front Audio to Rear Audio). If head-
phones are plugged into the front panel of
the chassis (using the Front Audio), then the
Line-out (Rear Audio) on the rear panel will
not work. If you do not want to use the Front
Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin 9 and 10 must be
SHORT, and then the signal will be sent to
the rear audio port.

The connectors connect to the chassis security switch
on the case. The system can detect the chassis intru-
sion through the status of this connector. If the connec-
tor has been closed once, the system will send a
message. To utilize this function, set “Intruder# Detec-
tion” to “Enabled” in the “Power Management Setup”

5V AGP card. When you use an AGP card, make sure that your AGP card with 1.
5V specification. Note the notches on the card golden fingers to ensure that they
fit the AGP slot on your motherboard.
Installing an expansion card
1.Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with
it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2.Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion
cards.
3.Remove the bracket opposite to the slot that you intend to use.
4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
Warning:
The motherboard may be damaged if a 3.3V AGP card is used.
Make sure that your AGP card is 1.5 V specification. Note the
notches on the card golden fingers to ensure that they fit the
AGP slot on your motherboard.

Jumpers
The users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard if needed. This
section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing
the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to
modifying any jumper settings.
Description of Jumpers
1. For the jumpers on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the silk-
screen printed “ ” next to it. However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled
as “1”.
2. The following table provides some explanation of the jumper pin settings.
User should refer to this when adjusting jumper settings.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLS_CMOS
This motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all the
set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by remov-
ing the CMOS jumper.
Reference the following process:
1. Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 1
and 2 together using the jumper cap.
2. Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 2 and 3 to
gether with the jumper cap).
3. Turn the AC power supply on.
Warning:
1. Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings.
2. Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.
