1. JP14 Clear CMOS
You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To
clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.
Everything you need to boot this
motherboard is included in this
Easy Installation Guide. For more
information, a complete Online
User's Manual can be found in the
Bonus Pack CD. Thanks for the
help of saving our earth.

3. Connecting ATX Power Connector 5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency
The ATX power supply uses a 20-pin connector shown below. Make sure you plug in the
ri
g
ht direction.
Note: Due to the limitation of nVidia chipset itself, if the FSB overclocking frequency is
extremely high, (for example, over 160MHz), the Watch Dog ABS and Home key
function may not be able to automatically recover your motherboard. In such case,
please clear CMOS by JP14.
Full-range Adjustable CPU Core Voltage
This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically
detected and the range is from 1.1V to 1.85V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage.
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the
BIOS setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.
BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio

Note: With CPU speed changing rapidly, there might be fastest CPU on the
market by the time you received this installation guide. This table is kindly for
your references only.
Note: You have to
adjust CPU FSB in
BIOS after installing
CPU; otherwise CPU
will run at default
speed of CPU FSB
value.
Tip: If your system hangs or fails to boot because of overclocking, simply use
<Home> key to restore the default setting or you can wait the AOpen “Watch Dog

4. Connecting Front Panel Cable
Attach the power LED, speaker, and reset switch connectors to the corresponding pins. If
you enable “Suspend Mode” item in BIOS Setup, the ACPI & Power LED will keep flashing
while the system is in suspend mode.
Locate the power switch cable from your ATX housing. It is 2-pin female connector from the
housing front panel. Plug this connector to the soft

8. IEEE 1394 Connectors
6. Memory & AGP Voltage Adjustment
This motherboard provides six USB 2.0 ports to connect USB devices, such as mouse,
keyboard, modem, printer, etc. There are four ports on the back panel. You can use proper
cables to connect the Front USB connector to USB modules or front panel of chassis.
7. Support USB 2.0 Connector
9. TV Output Connector
With our considerate design, you can adjust memory and AGP voltage in BIOS. The
memory voltage range is from 2.5V to 2.8V and the AGP voltage is from 1.5V to 1.65V.
With IEEE1394 MAC Embedded in nForce2-GT/ST (with AGERE FW802A), the IEEE
1394 provides data transfer rate up to 400Mb/s, and USB just has 12Mbps. Hence, the
IEEE 1394 interface can connect with the devices that need high data transferring
performance, such as digital camera, scanner or others IEEE 1394 devices. Please use
the
p
ro
p
er cable to connect with devices.

AV-Terminal
S-Terminal
This motherboard comes with a TV Output connector which allows you to accept digital
graphic input signal, and encodes, and transmit data through DVI or TV Output. Both NTSC
and PAL TV formats are supported for this function. You may just install a TV Output module
(as shown) to your back panel, connect S-Terminal or AV-terminal to your TV, then use it as
your another monitor.
Warning: Please be noted that
Hot-Plug in is not allowed on
IEEE 1394 header, because it will
burn the IC of the controller and
damage the motherboard.

13. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effects
This motherboard comes with an ALC650 CODEC, which supports high quality of 5.1
Channel audio effects, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the
innovative design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output
without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio
driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. Picture
bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1Channel sound track. Please
connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out” port, rear speakers’ plug
to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red “MIC in”
port.

10. Connecting IrDA Connector
12. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector
The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this
module and application software such as Laplink or Windows 95 Direct Cable Connection,
the user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This
connector supports HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps).
Install the infrared module onto the IrDA connector and enable the infrared function from
BIOS Setup, UART mode select, make sure to have the correct orientation when you plug
in the IrDA connector.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides
impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog audio. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other
end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two
S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer
audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs,
you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and
have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF
supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF
