Chapter 1 Hardware Installation
1-1 Installation Precautions
The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user's manual and follow these procedures:
•• Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.
•• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.
•• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.
•• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.
•• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
•• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.
•• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.
•• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.
•• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.
•• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.
•• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.
•• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.
•• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.
•• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.
•• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.
•• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

6)BAT (Battery)
The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information) in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
|
You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery: |
|
|
1. |
Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord. |
|
2. |
Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one minute. |
|
|
(Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive and negative |
|
|
terminals of the battery holder, making them short for 5 seconds.) |
|
3. |
Replace the battery. |
|
4. |
Plug in the power cord and restart your computer. |
•• |
Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery. |
|
•• |
Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with |
|
|
an incorrect model. |
|
•• Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by yourself
|
or uncertain about the battery model. |
|
•• |
When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-) |
|
|
of the battery (the positive side should face up). |
|
•• |
Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations. |

•• The front panel audio header supports HD audio by default. If your chassis provides an AC'97 front panel audio module, refer to the instructions on how to activate AC'97 functionality via the audio software in Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
•• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously. If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel audio module), refer to Chapter 6, "Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio."
•• Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.
11)SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header)
This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expansion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards and sound cards. For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a S/PDIF digital audio cable for digital audio output from your motherboard to your graphics card if you wish to connect an HDMI display to the graphics card and have digital audio output from the HDMI display at the same time.
For information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable, carefully read the manual for your expansion card.
