1-4 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD  
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules while  
unpacking:  
Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping an  
unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.  
Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the  
Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.  
Check the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears loose, press  
carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.  
Warning: Do not apply power if the Motherboard appears damaged.  
If there is damage to the board, contact your dealer immediately.  
1-5 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS  
Make sure to ground yourself before handling the Motherboard or other  
system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the  
components. Note that you must take special precautions when handling the  
Motherboard in dry or air-conditioned environment.  
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the following  
precautions:  
Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install.  
Ground yourself before removing any system component from its  
protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp the  
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer  
chassis.)  
Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap.  
Handle the Motherboard by its edges and avoid touching its components.

F. ATX12V Power Supply  
The ATX12V power supply includes a 20-pin ATX connector that comply  
with the ATX specification, Version 2.03 for M/B specification, a new 4-pin  
receptacle/header combination--the +12V power connector--has been  
defined. The presence of the +12V power connector indicates that a power  
supply is ATX12V; the absence of the +12V power connector indicates that  
a supply is ATX. Note that an ATX 12V power supply or at least 350W is  
required for this mainboard.

G. CMOS Clear (JP5)  
In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps  
below to clear the CMOS memory.  
1. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5.  
This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap.  
2. Then put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the  
CMOS memory.
