With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the com-

ponents on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, rst make sure the power supply

is turned off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation. The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected, the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand

high power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN (Fan Headers)

The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) and a 4-pin system fan headers (SYS_FAN).

Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire). The motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

•

Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU, Chipset and system

from overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU/Chipset or the system may hang.

•

These fan headers are not conguration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the

headers.

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 your-

self 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.
