2-10 The OC Front Control Panel (Optional)

The OC (Over-Clocking) Front Control Panel has Six (6) control buttons,
switches and one USB port.
OC-1
OC-2

Over-Clocking Buttons (OC1, OC2, OC3)

Press these buttons to activate the over-clocking feature of the motherboard. These
buttons will allow the CPU to run above its rated speed. This is an advanced feature
and should only be used by experienced users. These work the same way as the
OC buttons on the motherboard, see Page 2-32 for details.

Clear CMOS and Reset

Use the push-button hardware switch to clear the CMOS memory back to
its default values and reset the system. There is also a similar switch on
the motherboard (JBT1), but is made up of two contact pads that need
to be shorted with a metallic object (i.e., screwdriver, etc).

Boot BIOS Switch

The Boot BIOS Switch is used to select between two boot BIOS blocks
that are installed on the motherboard. See Appendix D for details.

BIOS Recovery

Push the BIOS Recovery button to enable the motherboard to enter the
BIOS Recovery process and re-install the BIOS, reverting all settings
back to factory default. It looks for a file named "SUPER.ROM" from a
memory device attached to any of the USB drives. It functions the same
way as the BIOS Restore Button which is installed on the motherboard,
see page 2-34.

Front USB Port

The Front USB Port is defined as USB 3.0 Port# XX on this motherboard.
It is conveniently located on the OC panel for quick access for USB
memory sticks and other storage devices.
