Technical Support
■ 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
