Motherboard information

2.1 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

CAUTION!

• 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, always remove the AC power

by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. Failure to do so may

cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.

IMPORTANT! Unplug all power cables before installing the CPU.

CAUTION!

• Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure that the PnP cap is on

the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer

immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the

PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. The manufacturer will

shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.

• Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. The manufacturer will

process Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the

motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1151 socket.

• The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts

resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/

incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA1151 socket designed for the

Intel® 9th/8th Generation Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3, Pentium®, and Celeron®

processors.

2.5 Jumpers

1. Clear RTC RAM (2-pin CLRTC)

This header allows you to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data of the system

setup information such as date, time, and system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Use a metal object such as a screwdriver to short the two pins.

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 battery and move

the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After clearing the CMOS,

reinstall the battery.
