1.8 Expansion slots

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections

describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion

cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard

components.

1.8.1 Installing an expansion card

To install an expansion card:

1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with

it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.

2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a

chassis).

3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw

for later use.

4. Align the card connector with the slot and press rmly until the card is

completely seated on the slot.

5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.

6. Replace the system cover.

1.8.2 Conguring an expansion card

After installing the expansion card, congure it by adjusting the software settings.

1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See

Chapter 2 for information on BIOS setup.

2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.

3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share

IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conicts will

arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card

inoperable. Refer to the table on the next page for details.

1.9 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in

CMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup

parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button

cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup

information such as system words.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on

pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup

to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper

default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

2. Keyboard/mouse/USB device wake-up (3-pin USBPW1-4, USBPW56,

PS2_USBPWR)

This jumper allows you to enable or disable the keyboard/mouse/USB device

wake-up feature. Set this jumper to +5V to wake up the computer from S1

sleep mode (CPU stopped, DRAM refreshed, system running in low power

mode) using the connected keyboard, mouse or USB devices. Set to +5VSB

to wake up from S3 and S4 sleep modes (no power to CPU, DRAM in slow

refresh, power supply in reduced power mode).

• The USB device wake-up feature requires a power supply that can

provide 500mA on the +5VSB lead for each USB port; otherwise,

the system would not power up.

• The total current consumed must NOT exceed the power supply

capability (+5VSB) whether under normal condition or in sleep mode.
