						■	Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current
							that flows 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, certified 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 capac-
							ity of your device.
						■	If there is any, when connecting USB, audio, 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 con-
							nections might damage the motherboard.
						■	When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connec-
							tors.
						■	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 configured 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 certified computer technician.

2-6 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 identified 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 touching two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.

Jumper	Diagram	Definition	Description
	1	1-2	Set Pin 1 and Pin 2 closed
1		2-3	Set Pin 2 and Pin 3 closed
	1
	1	Closed	Set two pins closed
1		Opened	Set two pins opened

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 modified.

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 configure new system as described in next chapter.

Basic CMOS Configuration

v02.67 (C) Copyright 1985-2009, American Megatrends, Inc.

►System Information

It displays the basic system configuration, such as BIOS ID, CPU Name, memory size plus system date, and time. They all can be viewed or set up through this menu.

►Boot Setting Configuration

The advanced system features can be set up through this menu. There are boot up settings.

►Advanced Chipset Features

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

►Integrated Peripherals

All onboard peripherals can be set up through this menu. There are SATA devices, Super I/O devices such as Serial I/O and other USB devices... etc.

►Power Management Setup

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

►Overclock Control Center

19

	Some special proprietary features (such as overclocking) can be set up through this menu.
	► Hardware Monitor
	This setup enables you to read/change Fan speeds, and displays temperatures and voltages
	of your CPU/System.
	► BIOS Security Features
	The Supervisor/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.
	► Load Optimal Defaults
3	The optimal performance settings can be loaded through this menu. However, it may offer bet-
	ter 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 find out the best setting for your

current system.

► Save & Exit Setup

Save setting values to CMOS and exit.

► Exit Without Saving

Do not change anything and exit the setup.
