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
damage to the motherboard and CPU due to high temperatures.
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.

The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all
the set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by
removing the CMOS jumper.
How to clear CMOS?
1. Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 1
and 2 together using the jumper cap.
2. Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 2 and
3 together with the jumper cap).
3. Turn the AC power supply back on.

BIOS TBL Enable Jumper: TBL_EN(optional)
If the BIOS failed to be flashed in conventional flash
BIOS process, the system can not boot. You will have
no such worry when using the BIOS TBL jumper
which is used to protect BIOS “Top Boot Block”. By
using this function, the system still can boot even if
the falsh BIOS fails and show some information to
recover the BIOS. To utilize this function, you just
leave this jumper as short pin 2 and pin 3 with the
jumper cap.
BIOS protection Jumper: WP_EN
If the jumper WP_EN is set as Enable, the system
BIOS is protected from being attacked by a serious
virus, such as the CIH virus. You will be unable to
flash the BIOS to the motherboard, when the system
BIOS is protected.To utilize this function, you just
leave this jumper as short pin 2 and pin 3 with the
jumper cap.
