Hardware Installation

PCI Express x1 Slots

There are two PCI Express x1 slots that are designed to accommodate less bandwidth-intensive cards, such as a modem or LAN card. The x1 slot provides 250 MB/sec bandwidth.

PCI Express x16 Slot

There is one PCI Express x16 slot that is reserved for a graphics or video card. The bandwidth of the x16 slot is up to 4GB/sec (8GB/sec concurrent).

When installing a PCI Express x16 card, be sure the retention clip snaps and locks the card into place. If the card is not seated properly, it could cause a short across the pins. Secure the card’s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with the screw used to hold the blank cover.

Jumper Settings

The motherboard contains a 3-pin BIOS configuration jumper that enables all board configurations to be done in the BIOS Setup program.

The silk screen on the motherboard shows a ∆ next to pin 1.

Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS

The motherboard uses the CMOS RAM to store all the set parameters. The CMOS can be cleared by removing the CMOS jumper.

Use the following procedure to clear CMOS:

1.Turn off the AC power supply and connect pins 1 and 2 together using the jumper cap.

2.Return the jumper setting to normal (pins 2 and

3.Together with the jumper cap).

4.Turn the AC power supply back on.
