HDCP Function

HDCP function is supported on this motherboard. To use HDCP

function with this motherboard, you need to adopt a monitor

that supports HDCP function as well. Therefore, you can enjoy

the superior display quality with high-denition HDCP

encryption contents. Please refer to the instructions below for

more details about HDCP function.

What is HDCP?

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a

®

specication developed by Intel

for protecting digital

entertainment content that uses the HDMI interface. HDCP is a

copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of

intercepting digital data midstream between the video source,

or transmitter - such as a computer, DVD player or set-top box -

and the digital display, or receiver - such as a monitor, television

or projector. In other words, HDCP specication is designed to

protect the integrity of content as it is being transmitted.

Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD

players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few

entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant

display. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP

in their equipment, it is highly recommended that the HDTV or

LCD monitor you purchase is compatible.

3 CIR sensors in different angles

1. Only one of the front USB port can support CIR function. When

the CIR function is enabled, the other port will remain USB

function.

2. Multi-Angle CIR Receiver is used for front USB only. Please do

not use the rear USB bracket to connect it on the rear panel.

Multi-Angle CIR Receiver can receive the multi-direction infrared

signals (top, down and front), which is compatible with most of

the chassis on the market.

3. The Multi-Angle CIR Receiver does not support Hot-Plug

function. Please install it before you boot the system.

2.11 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

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

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose

pin1 and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap

is placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.2, No. 46)

Clear CMOSDefault

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

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug

the power cord from the power supply. After 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 after 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 ac-

tion. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default prole, 1394

GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

The Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS

jumper.

BIOS Selection Jumper

(BIOS_SEL1)

(see p.2, No. 32)

Backup BIOSDefault

(Main BIOS)

Note: This motherboard has two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS and a backup BIOS,

English

which enhances protection for the safety and stability of your system. Nor-

mally, the system works on the main BIOS. However, if the main BIOS is

corrupted or damaged, please use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3, then

the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot. After that, short pin1

and pin2 again, then use “ASRock Instant Flash“ or “ASRock Internet Flash“

in BIOS setup utility to copy the BIOS le to the main BIOS to ensure normal

system operation. For the sake of system safety, users cannot update the

backup BIOS manually.
