Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following:
Channel A: SODIMM_1
Channel B: SODIMM_2
Due to SoC limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. If only one memory module is to be installed, be sure to install it in the SODIMM_1 socket, and Dual
Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

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conguration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congurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use the GIGABYTE @BIOS utility, which is a Windows-based utility that searches and
downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet and updates the BIOS.
•BecauseBIOSashingispotentiallyrisky,ifyoudonotencounterproblemsusingthecurrentversionofBIOS,it
isrecommendedthatyounotashtheBIOS.ToashtheBIOS,doitwithcaution.InadequateBIOSashingmay
result in system malfunction.
•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 "Restore Defaults" section in this chapter or
introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
12) CLR_CMOS (Clear CMOS Jumper)
 UsethisjumpertocleartheBIOScongurationandresettheCMOSvaluestofactorydefaults.Toclear
the CMOS values, use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds.
•Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS values.
•After system restart, go to BIOS Setup to load factory defaults (select Load Optimized Defaults) or manually
conguretheBIOSsettings(refertoChapter2,"BIOSSetup,"forBIOScongurations).
Open: Normal
Short: Clear CMOS Values
13) CI (Chassis Intrusion Header)
This motherboard provides a chassis detection feature that detects if the chassis cover has been removed.
This function requires a chassis with chassis intrusion detection design.

2-1 Main
Once you enter the BIOS Setup program, the Main Menu (as shown below) appears on the screen. Use arrow
keys to move among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter a sub-menu.
Main Menu Help
The on-screen description of a highlighted setup option is displayed on the bottom line of the Main Menu.
Submenu Help
While in a submenu, press <F1> to display a help screen (General Help) of function keys available for the menu.
Press <Esc> to exit the help screen. Help for each item is in the Item Help block on the right side of the submenu.
(Sample BIOS Version: D3)
•When the system is not stable as usual, select the Restore Defaults item to set your system to its
defaults.
•The BIOS Setup menus described in this chapter are for reference only and may differ by BIOS version.
This section provides information on your motherboard model and BIOS version. You can also select the default
language used by the BIOS and manually set the system time.
• System Language
Selects the default language used by the BIOS.
• System Date
Sets the system date. The date format is week (read-only), month, date, and year. Use <Tab> to switch
betweentheMonth,Date,andYeareldsandusethe<+>or<->keytosetthedesiredvalue.
• System Time
Sets the system time. The time format is hour, minute, and second. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00. Use
<Tab>toswitchbetweentheHour,Minute,andSecondeldsandusethe<+>or<->keytosetthedesired
value.
• Access Level
Displays the current access level depending on the type of password protection used. (If no password is
set, the default will display as Administrator.) The Administrator level allows you to make changes to all
BIOS settings; the User level only allows you to make changes to certain BIOS settings but not all.
