Installation Instructions
Clear CMOS (CLR_CMOS)
If you want to clear CMOS, unplug the AC power supply first, close CLR_CMOS (pin1 &
pin2) once, set CLR_CMOS back to the normal status with pin2 & pin3 connected, then
power on the system.

BIOS-Protection Jumper (BIOS_WP)(optional)

The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. If the jumper BIOS_WP is set as closed, the
system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus, you
will be unable to flash the BIOS to the mainboard in this status.
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However, setting jumper BIOS_WP as closed makes flashing
BIOS and updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set BIOS_WP as open when
changing the system hardware configuration, or the error message "Unknown Flash
Type" will be displayed on the screen, and DMI information may not be updated.
