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.

All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.

When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is

the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For

optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from

overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.

panel audio module to this header. Make sure the wire assignments of the module connector match the

pin assignments of the motherboard header. Incorrect connection between the module connector and the

motherboard header will make the device unable to work or even damage it.

Some chassis provide a front panel audio module that has separated connectors on each wire instead

of a single plug. For information about connecting the front panel audio module that has different wire

assignments, please contact the chassis manufacturer.

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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.

• 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"LoadOptimizedDefaults"sectionin

this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

2-1 Startup Screen

The following startup Logo screen will appear when the computer boots.

(Sample BIOS Version: F1a)

• When the system is not stable as usual, select the Load Optimized 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.
