Motherboard information
2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
component.
• Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely
grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
• Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic
pad or in the bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, or components.
Standby Power LED
This motherboard comes with two standby power LEDs that light up to indicate
that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that
you should shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or
plugging in any motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location
of the onboard LED.

Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.
• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on
the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer
immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the
PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. The manufacturer will
shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. The manufacturer will
process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1155 socket.
• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/
incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
2.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1155 socket designed for the
Intel®3rd/2nd Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 / Pentium®/ Celeron®
processors.

2.6 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 passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. 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.
3. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
4. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup
to reenter data.
Never remove the cap from the CLRTC jumper default position except when
clearing the RTC RAM. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!
• If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery and move the
jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS,
reinstall the battery.
• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to
overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the CPU
Parameter Recall (C.P.R) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the
BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
