Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjust-

ing the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third-

party overclocking tools. Overclocking may aect your system’s stability, or even cause

damage to the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own

risk and expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.

the memory that Windows® cannot use.8

e illustration shows how jumpers are setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear

the CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when

you just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut

it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,

date, time, and user default prole will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is

according to the pin

assignments below. Note

the positive and negative

pins before connecting

GND PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may congure the way to

turn o your system using the power switch.

RESET (Reset Switch):

Connect to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart

the computer if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.

PLED (System Power LED):

Connect to the power status indicator on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when

the system is operating. e LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep state.

e LED is o when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered o (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. e LED is on when

the hard drive is reading or writing data.

e front panel design may dier by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists

of power switch, reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc.

When connecting your chassis front panel module to this header, make sure the wire

assignments and the pin assignments are matched correctly.

Onboard headers and connectors are NOT jumpers. Do NOT place jumper caps over

these headers and connectors. Placing jumper caps over the headers and connectors

will cause permanent damage to the motherboard.10

connectors support SATA

data cables for internal

storage devices with up to

6.0 Gb/s data transfer rate.

A. Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.

B. Connect Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R and Audio_L (LIN) to OUT2_L.

C. Connect Ground (GND) to Ground (GND).

D. MIC_RET and OUT_RET are for the HD audio panel only. You don’t need to

connect them for the AC’97 audio panel.
