Installation Precautions

CAUTIO

■ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that ows between two objects at different electrical potentials. Normally it

comes out as a spark which will quickly damage your electronic equipment. Please wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory.

■ Ensure that the DC power supply is turned off before installing or removing CPU,

memory, expansion cards or other peripherals. It is recommended to unplug the AC power cord from the power supply outlet. Failure to unplug the power supply cord may result in serious damage to your system.

Please carefully read the following procedures to install your computer :

■ It is suggested to select high-quality, certied fans in order to avoid damage to

the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature. Never turn on the computer if the CPU fan is not properly installed.

■ We cannot guarantee that your system can operate normally when your CPU

is overclocked. Normal operation depends on the overclocking capacity of your device.

■ If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 1394a, RS232 COM, IrDA or S/PDIF cables to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure their pinouts are matching with the connectors on the motherboard. Incorrect connections might damage the motherboard.

■ When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

■ If there is a PCI Express x16 graphics card installed in your system, we recommend using a 24-pin ATX power supply to get the best performance.

■ Before turning on the power, please make sure the power supply AC input voltage setting has been congured to the local standard.

■ To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact

with the motherboard circuit or its components. Also, make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

■ If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certied computer technician.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

2-5 Jumpers

For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them. 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 setting.

Description of Jumpers

1. For any jumper on this motherboard, pin 1 can be identied by the bold silkscreen next to it.

However, in this manual, pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”.

2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a

jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touch-

ing two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can

prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS

The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password... etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to

factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modied.

The steps to clear CMOS data are :

1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS data.

3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.

4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.

5. Go to BIOS Setup to congure new system as described in next chapter.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup

This chapter tells how to change system settings through the BIOS Setup menus. Detailed descriptions of the BIOS parameters are also provided. You have to run the Setup Program when the following cases occur:

1. An error message appears on the screen during the system Power On Self Test (POST) process.

2. You want to change the default CMOS settings.

This chapter includes the following information :

■ Save & Exit

BIOS SETUP

Enter BIOS Setup

The BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and software, correctly setting up the BIOS parameters is critical to maintain optimal system performance. Power on the computer,

when the message "Press <DEL> to enter Setup, <F7> to Boot Menu" appears at the bottom

of the screen, you can press <DEL> key to enter Setup.

We do not suggest that you change the default values in the BIOS Setup, and we shall not be responsible for any damage which resulted from the change you made.

Use the arrow right/left keys to select a specic function and go to the submenu. Each function is explained below:

Main

It displays the basic system conguration, such as CPU Name, memory size, system date, time

and so on. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.

F-Center

The advanced system features can be set up through this menu.

Advanced

The values for the chipset can be changed through this menu, and the system performance can be optimized.

Boot

Boot features can be set up through this menu. You can set the boot device priority here.

Power

All the items related with Green function features can be setup through this menu.

Health

This setup enables you to read/change fan speeds, and displays temperatures and voltages of your CPU/System.

Security

The Administrator/User password can be set up through this menu to prevent unauthorized use of your computer. If you set a password, the system will ask you to key in correct password before boot or access to Setup.

Save&Exit

The optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer better performance in some ways (such as less I/O cards, less memory ...etc.), still, it may cause problem if you have more memory or I/O cards installed. It means, if your system loading is heavy, set to optimal default may sometimes come out an unstable system. What you need now

is to adjust BIOS setting one by one, trial and error, to nd out the best setting for your current

system. You also can save or discard the changes and exit BIOS setup here.
