Installation Precautions

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 capac-

ity 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 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 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.

CAUTION

!

■ 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.

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 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.

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

Some special proprietary features (such as overclocking) can be set up through this menu.

Advanced

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

Boot

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

"Quiet Boot" feature 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.

FOX ONE

FOX ONE is a powerful utility for easily modifying system settings. It also allows users

to monitor various temperature values, voltage values, frequencies and fan speeds at

any time.

With FOX ONE, you can :

■ Modify system performance settings, such as the CPU and memory bus speeds,

CPU voltages, fan speeds, and other system performance options.

■ Monitor hardware temperatures, voltages, frequencies and fan speeds.

Supporting Operating Systems :

■ Windows 2000 ■ Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit)

■ Windows 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) ■ Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)

Using FOX ONE :

The very rst time you run FOX ONE, F.I.S. Calibration function (FOX Intelligent

Stepping) will require you to calibrate the CPU’s loading. Click “OK” to proceed

and start the Utility. F.I.S. is a feature of FOX ONE, which can automatically adjust your

CPU clock based on your current system loading.

Before you running the FOX ONE program, the system parameters (such as CPU

clock, voltage...etc.) are controlled by BIOS settings. After you run FOX ONE, it will

take over, and the controlling right will be transferred to FOX ONE. Later, if you exit

FOX ONE, then BIOS control will be back again.

CAUTION

!

Depending on hardware support, voltage monitoring and Fox Intelligent Stepping
features are optional and only supported in some models. If the option is selectable,
it also means the feature is supported.

■ Voltage Monitoring is supported only in FOX ONE Premium & Deluxe products.

■ Fox Intelligent Stepping is supported only in FOX ONE Deluxe products.
