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.

Warning:

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgraded 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

an external Dolby digital decoder.

Front Audio Connector : F_AUDIO

The audio interface provides two kinds of au­dio output choices: the Front Audio, the Rear
Audio. Their priority is sequenced from high to
low (Front Audio to Rear Audio). If headphones
are plugged into the front panel of the chassis
(using the Front Audio), then the Line-out (Rear

Expansion Slots

This motherboard includes three 32-bit Master PCI bus slots and one AGP slot
(only for 865G/PE7MC).

PCI Slots

The expansion cards can be installed in the three PCI slots. When you install or
take out such cards, you must make sure that the power plug has been pulled
out. Please read carefully the instructions provided for such cards, and install and
set the necessary hardware and software for such cards, such as the jumper or
BIOS setup.

AGP Slot (only for 865G/PE7MC)

This motherboard has Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot that only supports 1.
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.

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 silk­screen 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 b e cleared by remov­ing the CMOS jumper.
How to clear CMOS?

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.

To specify CPU FAN more clearly and conveniently, we might as well abbreviate
CPU Smart Fan Temperature, CPU Fan Tolerance Value, CPU Fan Output Stop
Value as Value1, Value2 and Value3 respectively:
When the CPU temperature exceeds the total of the Value1 and V alue2, the CPU
fan starts to speed up. If the CPU temperature always stays above the total, the
CPU fan will speed up to its upper limit.
If the CPU temperature falls within the difference of and sum of the Value1 and
Value2, the CP U fan remians as it is until the CPU temperature is out of the
range.
When the CPU temperature is less than the difference of the Value1 and Value2,
the CPU fan begins to slow down. If the CPU temperature always stays below the
difference value, the CPU fan will finally decrease to the Value3 setting (RPM
equals to the RPM limit of CPU FAN, multiplied by Value3 setting value, then
divided by 16).
