2.1 Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
NOTE: The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. The
motherboard layout may vary with models.
IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may require
additional purchase. Refer to the Package contents section for more
information about the contents of your Single Board Computer
package.
WARNING!
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, make sure 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.

about 5-10 seconds.
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 re-enter data.
NOTE: If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard button cell
battery and short-circuit this jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM
data. After clearing the CMOS, reinstall the button cell battery.
