This motherboard provides keyboard / mouse wake-up function. You can use JP28 to enable or disable this
function, which could resume your system from suspend mode with keyboard or mouse installed. The factor
y
default setting is set to “Enable”(1-2), and you may disable this function by setting the jumper to 2-3.
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.
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of overclocking…
2. Forget password…

Setting CPU Core Voltage
The CPU core voltage will be automatically detected. 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

If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to
connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove
5-6 and 9-10 jumper caps from the Front Audio Connector before connecting the cable.
Please do not remove these 5-6 and 9-10 yellow jumper caps if there’s no audio port on
the front panel.

12. Connecting CD-IN/AUX-IN Connectors
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.

13. ACR Slot
Building on the PC motherboard riser architecture, ACR slot is backward compatible with
AMR but beyond the limitation of it. The ACR specification is designed to support modem,
audio, Local Area Network (LAN) and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). On the strength o
f
nVIDIA MCP-D controller on chip, which is a highly integrated Platform LAN Connect device,
it provides 10/100M bps Ethernet for office and home use.

Warning: The upgrade of new BIOS will permanently replace your original BIOS
content after flashing. The original BIOS setting and Win2000/WinXP PnP
information will be refreshed and you probably need to re-configure your system.
17. BIOS Upgrade under Windows Environment
You may accomplish BIOS upgrade procedure with EzWinFlash by the following steps,
and it’s STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to close all the applications before you start the
upgrading.
1. Download the new version of BIOS package zip file from AOpen official web site.
(ex: http://english.aopen.com.tw
)
2. Unzip the download BIOS package (ex: WMK79102.ZIP) with WinZip
(http://www.winzip.com
) in Windows environment.
3. Save the unzipped files into a folder, for example, WMK79102.EXE &
WMK79102.BIN.
4. Double click on the WMK79102.EXE, EzWinFlash will detect the model name and
BIOS version of your motherboard. If you had got the wrong BIOS, you will not be
allowed to proceed with the flash steps.
5. You may select preferred language in the main menu, then click [Start Flash] to star
t
the BIOS upgrade procedure.
6. EzWinFlash will complete all the process automatically, and a dialogue box will pop
up to ask you to restart Windows. You may click [YES] to reboot Windows.
7. Press <Del> at POST to enter BIOS setup, choose "Load Setup Defaults", then
“Save & Exit Setup”. Done!
16. Installing nVIDIA nForce Drivers
If you encounter any trouble to boot you system, follow the procedures
accordingly to resolve the problem.
