CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper cap after clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action.

ASROCK Z87EITX - Jumpers Setup - 4

  1. The Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS jumper.
  2. If you clear the CMOS, the case open may be detected. Please adjust the BIOS option "Clear Status" to clear the record of previous chassis intrusion status.

2.6 Onboard Headers and Connectors

ASROCK Z87EITX - Onboard Headers and Connectors - 1

Connect the power switch, reset switch and system status indicator on the chassis to this header according to the pin assignments below. Note the positive and negative pins before connecting the cables.

ASROCK Z87EITX - Onboard Headers and Connectors - 3

PWRBTN (Power Switch):

Connect to the power switch on the chassis front panel. You may configure the way to turn off 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. The LED is on when the system is operating. The LED keeps blinking when the system is in S1/S3 sleep state. The LED is off when the system is in S4 sleep state or powered off (S5).

HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED):

Connect to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive is reading or writing data.

The front panel design may differ 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.

This header is for connecting audio devices to the front audio panel.

ASROCK Z87EITX - HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED): - 16

  1. High Definition Audio supports Jack Sensing, but the panel wire on the chassis must support HDA to function correctly. Please follow the instructions in our manual and chassis manual to install your system.
  2. If you use an AC'97 audio panel, please install it to the front panel audio header by the steps below:

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.
E. To activate the front mic, go to the "FrontMic" Tab in the Realtek Control panel and adjust "Recording Volume".

Chassis Speaker Header (4-pin SPEAKER1) (see p.1, No. 13)

ASROCK Z87EITX - HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED): - 17

Please connect the chassis speaker to this header.

Chassis and Power Fan Connectors (4-pin CHA_FAN1) (see p.1, No. 4)

ASROCK Z87EITX - HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED): - 18

Please connect fan cables to the fan connectors and match the black wire to the ground pin.

CPU Fan Connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN1) (see p.1, No. 1)

ASROCK Z87EITX - HDLED (Hard Drive Activity LED): - 19

This motherboard provides a 4-Pin CPU fan (Quiet Fan) connector. If you plan to connect a 3-Pin CPU fan, please connect it to Pin 1-3.

ATX Power Connector (24-pin ATXPWR1) (see p.1, No. 5)This motherboard pro- vides a 24-pin ATX power connector. To use a 20-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 13.
ATX 12V Power Connector (8-pin ATX12V1) (see p.1, No. 2)This motherboard pro- vides an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector. To use a 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 5.
Chassis Intrusion Header (2-pin CI1) (see p.1, No. 11)This motherboard supports CASE OPEN detection feature that detects if the chassis cove has been removed. This feature requires a chassis with chassis intrusion detection design.
TPM Header (17-pin TPMS1) (see p.1, No. 10)This connector supports Trusted Platform Module (TPM) system, which can securely store keys, digital certificates, passwords, and data. A TPM system also helps enhance network security, protects digital identities, and ensures platform integrity.
