Attention:

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
damaging the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.

3. Never turn on the computer 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.

Attention:

We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while

overclock. Normal operation depends on the overclock capacity of

your device.

Attention:

Since BIOS programs are upgrated 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

Jumpers

This section explains how to setup jumpers. You should read the following
content carefully prior to modifying any jumper settings.

Attention

The jumpers on the motherboard, pin 1 can be identified by the
bold silkscreen next to it. And in this manual, pin 1 is simply la­beled as “ 1”.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS

The CLR_CMOS jumper allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data
includes system setup information such as system password, data, time,
and system setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to
default setup, please do as follows:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord
from the power supply.

2. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 (default) to pins
1-2. Keep the cap on pins 1-2 for several seconds,
then move the cap back to pins 2-3.

3. Plug the power cord and turn on the computer.

USB device wake-up Jumper: USBPW1357_1/USBPW0246_1

1.Set the jumper to pins 1-2 (+5V) to wake up the computer from S1 sleep mode

using the connected USB devices.

2.Set the jumper to pins 2-3 (+5VSB) to wake up the computer from S3 sleep

mode using the connected USB devices. At the same time, a corresponding

setting must be set in BIOS as below:

Set “CMOS Setup”->“Power Management Setup”->“Power Management Events”-

>“USB KB Wake-Up From S3” to “Enabled”.

Chapter 1 Main Features

Note

1. USBPW0246_1 is for the internal USB connectors, USBPW1357_1 is for the rear

USB ports.

2. The USB device wake-up feature requires a power supply that can provide 500mA

on +5VSB lead for each USB port; otherwise, the system will not power up.

3. The total current consumed must not exceed the power supply capability (+5VSB)

whether under normal condition or in sleep mode.

Keyboard and Mouse Jumper: KB/MS_PW

This jumper allows you to enable or disable the Keyboard and Mouse wake-up

feature. Set the jumper to pins 2-3(+5VSB) to wake up the computer from S3 and

S4 sleep modes when you press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, and

a corresponding setting in the BIOS.

Over Memory Frequency Jumper: JP1, JP2 (for G31MX Series)

When you use the memory which support 1066, the jumpers are used to

overclock memory frequency. At the same time, the overclock bound depend on

CPU FSB, you can achieve the function as below.

1.When the CPU FSB is 1066MHz, set the JP1 pins to 2-3(as status 1), and set

“CMOS Setup”->”Fox Central Control Unit”->”DRAM Configuration”->”DRAM

Timing Selectable” to “Manual”, “System Memory Frequency” will show 886 and

1066.

2.When the CPU FSB is 1333MHz, set the JP2 pins to 2-3(as status 2), and set

“CMOS Setup”->”Fox Central Control Unit”->”DRAM Configuration”->”DRAM

Timing Selectable” to “Manual”, “System Memory Frequency” will show 1000.
