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/Memory 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.

■ 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.

If you take a look at front side of memory module, it has asymmetric pin counts on both sides

separated by a notch in the middle, so it can only t in one direction. Follow the steps below to

correctly install your memory modules into the sockets.

Step 1:

Spread the clips at both ends of the memory socket. Place the memory module onto the socket, then put

your ngers on top edge of the module, and push it down rmly and seat it vertically into the memory

socket.

Step 2:

The clips at both ends of the socket will snap into place when the memory module is securely inserted.

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :

■ Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory

of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

■ Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

■ Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only

one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

2-3 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 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.

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.

Advanced Chipset Features

► Memory Conguration / DRAM Timing Conguration

Press <Enter> to go to its submenu.

► DVMT Mode Select

Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) dynamically allocates system memory for use

as video memory to ensure the most efcient use of available resources for maximum 2D/3D

graphics performance.

The amount of video memory allocated depends upon the amount requested by the operating

system. When the memory is no longer required, it is returned to the operating system for use by

other applications or system functions. DVMT allocates memory based on system needs. This

BIOS option allows you to adjust the amount of memory available for DVMT.

Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unied Memory Architecture (UMA) concept,

wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization.

This xed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics memory at all

times, and will no longer be available to the OS.

DVMT is an enhancement of the UMA concept, where in the graphics driver allocates memory

as needed for running graphics applications. If a user is not performing any graphics-intensive

operations, most of the DVMT memory can be utilized by the OS for other uses. We recommend

using DVMT setting for better overall system performance.

Power Management Setup

ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface) is an open industry standard interfaces

enabling OS-directed conguration, power management, and thermal management of mobile,

desktop, and server platforms. It denes ve sleeping states, they are :

S1 - The S1 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. In this state, no system

context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context. (also called

Power On Suspend)

S2 - The S2 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. This state is similar to

the S1 sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS

is responsible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the

processor’s reset vector after the wake event.

S3 - The S3 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state where all system context is lost

except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware

maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 conguration context. Control

starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event. (also called Suspend to

RAM)

S4 - The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake latency sleeping state supported

by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware platform

has powered off all devices. Platform context is maintained. (also called Suspend to

Disk)

S5 - The S5 state is similar to the S4 state except that the OS does not save any context. The

system is in the “soft” off state and requires a complete boot when it wakes. Software

uses a different state value to distinguish between the S5 state and the S4 state to allow

for initial boot operations within the BIOS to distinguish whether or not the boot is going to

wake from a saved memory image.
