Question 1: I cannot see some options that were included in previous BIOS after updating BIOS.
Why?
Answer: Some advanced options are hidden in new BIOS version. Please press Ctrl and F1 keys
after entering BIOS menu and you will be able to see these options.
Questions 2: Why is the light of my keyboard/optical mouse still on after computer shuts down?
Answer: In some boards, a small amount of electricity is kept on standby after computer shuts down
and that's why the light is still on.
Question 3: Why cannot I use all functions in EasyTune
Answer: The availability of the listed functions in EasyTune
chipset doesn't support certain functions in EasyTune
and you will not be able to use them.
Question 4: Why do I fail to install RAID and ATA drivers under Win 2000 and XP on boards that
support RAID function after I connect the boot HDD to IDE3 or IDE4 ?
Answer: First of all, you need to save some files in the CD-ROM to a floppy disk before installing
drivers. You also need to go through some rather different steps in the installation process. Therefore,
we suggest that you refer to the installation steps in the RAID manual at our website.

Question 5: How do I clear CMOS?
Answer: If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, please refer to the Clear CMOS steps in the
manual. If your board doesn't have such jumper, you can take off the on-board battery to leak voltage
to clear CMOS. Please refer to the steps below:
Steps:
1. Turn off power.
2. Disconnect the power cord from MB.
3. Take out the battery gently and put it aside for about 10 minutes (Or you can use a
metal object to connect the positive and negative pins in the battery holder to make
them short for one minute).
4. Re-insert the battery to the battery holder.
5. Connect power cord to MB again and turn on power.
6. Press Del to enter BIOS and load Fail-Safe Defaults.
7. Save changes and reboot the system.
