Special BIOS Functions
Warning:
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 damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperature.
3. Never turn on the machine 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.
Warning:
We cannot guarantee that your system will operate normally while over-clocked. Normal operation depends on the over-clock capacity of your device.
Attention:
Since BIOS programs are upgraded 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 BIOS version at any given time in the future.
Attention:
The pictures of objects used in this manual are just for your reference. Please refer to the physical motherboard.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Take note of the following precautions before you install components or change settings.
1. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object,
such as an attached power supply, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord before opening your chassis or touching
any components.
3. Hold components by their edges to avoid touching any exposed
integrated circuits (ICs).
4. Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded
anti-static pad or into the anti-static bag that it came in.

Installation of CPU Fan
New technology allows processors to run at higher and higher frequencies. To avoid problems arising from high-speed operation, for example, overheating, you need to install the proper fan. The following procedure is provided for reference only, please refer to your CPU fan user guide for the actual procedure.
1. Locate the CPU retention mecha­nism base (surrounds the CPU socket).
3. Attach the fan to the base.
2.If required, apply a light coating of silica gel to the top of the CPU.
NOTE: The CPU heatsink may have a pre-applied thermal compound. In that case, the silica gel is not required.
4. Connect the fan’s power cable to the appropriate 3-pin terminal
on the motherboard.
Warning:
Excessive temperature will severely damage the CPU and system. Therefore, make sure that the cooling fan works nor­mally at all times in order to prevent overheating and damaging to the CPU.

The audio interface provides two kinds of audio output choices: the Front Audio, the Rear Audio. Their priority is sequenced from high to low (Front Audio to Rear Audio). If headphones are plugged into the front panel of the chassis (using the Front Audio), then the Line-out (Rear Audio) on the rear panel will not work. If you do not want to use the Front Audio, pin 5 and 6, pin 9 and 10 must be shorted, and then the signal will be sent to the rear audio port.

AGP Slot
This motherboard has an AGP slot that supports 1.5 V AGP cards. AGP is an interfacing specification designed to display 3D images. It provides a specialized 66 MHz, 32-bit channel to allow the graphic controller to directly access the master memory and supports 4X and 8X speeds.
AGP Slot
Installing an expansion card
1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Be sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.
3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

Starting up for the first time
1. After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2. Make sure that all switches are off.
3. Turn on the devices in the following order. a. Monitor b. External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain) c. System power
4. After applying power, LED on the system front panel case lights up. For ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the ATX power switch. If your monitor complies with green standards or if it has a power standby feature, the monitor LED may light up or switch between orange and green after the system LED turns on. The system then runs the power-on test. While the test is running, the BIOS beeps or additional messages appear on the screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turned on the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance.
5. At power on, hold down <Delete> to enter BIOS Setup. Follow the instructions in Chapter 3.
Powering off the computer
1. Using the OS shut down function If you use Windows 98/ME/2000/XP, click the Start button, click Shut Down, then click the OK button to shut down the computer. The power supply should turnoff after Windows shuts down.
2. Using the dual function power switch While the system is ON, pressing the power switch for less than 4 seconds puts the system to sleep mode or to soft-off mode, depending on the BIOS setting. Pressing the power switch for more than 4 seconds lets the system enter the soft-off mode regardless of the BIOS setting.

SuperSpeed
SuperSpeed is a powerful and efficient Easy Technology for PC DIY fans. It offers a friendly interface. The users can also realize in the BIOS setup the CPU core voltage adjustability.
Procedures:
1. Correctly install your CPU.
2. Plug in other configurations and restore the system.
3. Switch on power to the system and press the <Del> key to enter BIOS Setup.
4. Enter the <BIOS Features> menu to set up the CPU clock.
5. Save and exit BIOS Setup, your system will now boot successfully.
BIOS provides you a set of basic values for your processor selection instead of the jumper settings. The processor speed can be manually set from the <BIOS
Features> menu screen.
Warning:
Be sure your selection is right. CPU overclock can be dangerous! We will not be responsible for any damage caused.

Chapter 6 Special BIOS Functions
SuperBoot technology greatly reduces the long boot process time of computers. A BIOS without SuperBoot has to perform many routines every time when the system starts, such as checking the system core and initializing system peripherals. Now with SuperBoot, a PC can boot up without any unnecessary. SuperBoot is quite easy to use: choose the right option in CMOS setup (refer to BIOS features), SuperBoot saves the information when the PC boots up at the first time and restores the parameters for the system, thus letting the PC boot freely and rapidly.
Notes:
1. If the previous boot was not completed then the BIOS will perform normal POST, even if SuperBoot is enabled.
2. No matter SuperBoot is enabled or not, the BIOS will perform normal POST
if CMOS fails.

SuperBIOS-Protect
The BIOS of the motherboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. Severe vi­ruses such as CIH virus are so dangerous that it may overwrite the BIOS of the motherboard. If the BIOS has been damaged, the system will be unable to boot. We provide the following solution which protects the system BIOS from being attacked by such viruses.
There are two choices which implement this function.
1.Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as disabled (pin 2-3 closed), the BIOS can not be overwritten.
2. Set the jumper (FWH_EN) as enabled (pin 1-2 closed), meanwhile set Flash Write Protect as Enabled in CMOS Setup. In this way, the BIOS can not be overwritten, but the DMI information can be updated.
Note: FWH_EN default is enabled.

SuperRecovery
SuperRecovery is an easy-to-operate tool for backing up or recovering your hard disk data. It offers simplified user interfaces with hotkey access and allows you to experience unprecedented high security and reliability with extra functions, such as hotkey launch, and powerful anti-virus protection.
Features:
1. Password Protection: You can set a password for each HDD.
2. Data Protection: Hidden partitions can only be accessed during data back up or recovery. Even reformatting the disk using FDISK or PQMAGIC will not allow access to the disk. This means that data backed up in a hidden partition is very secure.
3. Intelligent Menu: Unavailable items will be displayed in gray. For example, if you haven’t divided a hidden partition, items like “Release Hidden Partition”, “Back up” and “Recovery” will be displayed in gray and can’t be selected. And, when you select an item, the related information will appear on the bottom of the screen.
