Read the following guidelines before connecting external devices:

• First make sure your devices are compliant with the connectors you wish to connect.

• Before installing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer. Unplug the

power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.

• After installing the device and before turning on the computer, make sure the device cable

has been securely attached to the connector on the motherboard.

1/2) ATX_12V_2X4/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connector and 2x12 Main 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.

• The power connectors are compatible with power supplies with 2x2 12V and 2x10 power

connectors. When using a power supply providing a 2x4 12V and a 2x12 power connector,

remove the protective covers from the 12V power connector and the main power connector on

the motherboard. Do not insert the power supply cables into pins under the protective covers

when using a power supply providing a 2x2 12V and a 2x10 power connector.

20) CLR_CMOS (Clearing CMOS Jumper)

Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS configurations) and

reset the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the

two pins to temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two

pins for a few seconds.

Open: Normal

Short: Clear CMOS Values

• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

clearing the CMOS values.

• After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove

the jumper cap from the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.

• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized

Defaults) or manually configure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for

BIOS configurations).

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the

motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system

startup, saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. 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 <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned

on. To see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu

of the BIOS Setup program.

To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.

• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the

operating system.

• @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the

Internet and updates the BIOS.

For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 4, "BIOS Update Utilities."

• Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the

current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS,

do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

• BIOS will emit a beep code during the POST. Refer to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting," for the

beep codes description.

• 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 "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introduc-

tions of the battery/clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

• Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is

dependent on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage

may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these

components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the

default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately alter

ing the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values
