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 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.

■ 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.

Put a metal object(such as a screwdriver) onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS data.

3. After a few seconds, remove the metal object to leave the Pins 1-2 open.

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.

How to recover BIOS

When one of BIOS has been damaged, you can use another workable BIOS to boot to DOS. Then switch the jumper to change to your bad BIOS.And then run the

“AFUDOS” reash program.

Discharge Battery Jumper: VBAT_DISCHARGE

Resetting the CMOS isn’t always good enough since in more recent chipset versions some

conguration settings stored in the Southbridge will not be reset or deleted by a CMOS reset.

Additionally the CMOS reset can take up to several minutes depending on the board design and

capacitance. To facilitate a complete conguration reset this jumper can be used to discharge the

battery. The effect is identical to removing the battery. The result is a faster and complete CMOS

and Southbridge conguration reset.

Denition Description Function

1-2(default) Set Pin 1 and Pin 2 closed Select SPI1 (BIOS ROM 1)

2-3 Set Pin 2 and Pin 3 closed Select SPI2 (BIOS ROM 2)

Besides you are doing the BIOS recovery procedure, don’t change the jumper setting

when system is power on.

■ Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings.

■ Do not discharge the battery while the system is turned on.

■ Only suggest to use the jumper if a normal CMOS reset did not work.

■ When the OC function is enabled by OC_SW1, the overclocking items in BIOS or software will be availble. It is controlled by the onboard buttons completely.

■ We do not guarantee the system will keep stable status In the overclocking mode.

2-6 onboard button

Power on button: PWR_oN

Push the power on button to power on the system.

Reset button: RST

Push the reset button to reboot the system.

oC Switch button: oC_SW1/2/3

You could press the three buttons to adjust the CPU clock directly, without to enter BIOS setup or any software. This process will not use any system resource, so there is no effect to the system performance.

■ Normally the OC function is disabled. All the led lights on these buttons will be turned off.

■ During booting, when the boot screen appears, press the OC_SW1 button to enter the OC mode and the led lights will turn on. At this moment the debug led will show “0.0”. It means the CPU current clock is 100MHz(Default).

■ In the OC mode, pressing the OC_SW2 button will increase the CPU clock by 1 MHz per step, and the debug led code will increase 0.1 at the same time. The debug led code “0.1” means the CPU clock is 101 MHz.

■ In the OC mode, pressing the OC_SW3 button will decrease the clock by 1 MHz per step. This project does not support a clock lower than 100MHz.

This chapter tells how to change system settings through the BIOS Setup menus. Detailed descriptions of the BIOS parameters are also provided. You have to run the Setup Program when the following cases occur :

1. An error message appears on the screen during the system Power On Self Test (POST) process.

2. You want to change the default CMOS settings.

This chapter includes the following information :

■ Enter BIOS Setup

■ Main

■ Advanced

■ Quantum BIOS

■ Boot

■ Security

■ Save & Exit

Since BIOS could be updated some other times, the BIOS information described in this manual is for reference only. We do not guarantee the content of this manual will remain consistent with the newly released BIOS at any given time in the future. Please visit our website for updated manual if it is available.

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, Press <f11> to enter 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.

Advanced

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

Quantum bIoS

Some special proprietary 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.

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.
