Press the Clear CMOS switch to clear BIOS setup information only when the system hangs due to overclocking.

DO NOT insert a different connector to the Power eSATA 6G port.

Due to USB 3.0 controller limitation, USB 3.0 devices can only be used under Windows® OS environment and after the USB 3.0 driver installation.

USB 3.0 devices can only be used as data storage only.

We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports for faster and better performance for your USB 3.0 devices.

If you want to use the hot-plug function of the external SATA ports, you have to set the ASMedia® 1061 SATA controllers item in the BIOS setting to [Enabled] and install the ASMedia® 1061 SATA controllers from the motherboard support DVD. Refer to section 3.5.6 Onboard Devices Configuration for details.
