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, 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.

1/2/3) ATX1/P12V_1/P12V_2 (2×12 Main Power Connector and 2×4 12V Power
Connector) With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply
enough stable power to all the components on the motherboard. Before
connecting the power connector, first 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.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system
in the EFI on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the
Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters,
loading the operating system etc. The BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that
allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate
certain system features. When the power is turned off, the battery on the
motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration
values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the key during the POST when the
power is turned on.
· BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter any problems
when using the current BIOS version, it is recommended that you don’t flash
the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may
result in system malfunction.
· It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need
to) to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately
altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If this occurs,
try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. (Refer to
the Exit section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clearing CMOS
jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
