As some features for this motherboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the motherboard to indicators and switches or buttons on the chassis, make sure your chassis supports all the features required. If there is a possibility of adopting some more hard drives, make sure your chassis has sufficient power and space for them. Most chassis have alternatives for I/O shield located at the rear panel. Make sure the I/O shield of the chassis matches the I/O port configuration of this motherboard. You can find an I/O shield specifically designed for this motherboard in its package. · · 1.4 Installing Motherboard Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow the motherboard to be securely attached, and at the same time, prevent the system from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the motherboard to the chassis base: (1) with studs, or (2) with spacers. Basically, the best way to attach the board is with studs. Only if you are unable to do this should you attach the board with spacers. Line up the holes on the board with the mounting holes on the chassis. If the holes line up and there are screw holes, you can attach the board with studs. If the holes line up and there are only slots, you can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing this to all the slots, you can slide the board into position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK before putting the chassis back on. Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe damage to your motherboard and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only after you have carefully checked everything. Locate all the screw holes on the motherboard and the chassis base. Face the chassis's rear panel. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened. Face the motherboard's I/O ports toward the chassis's rear panel. Line up all the motherboard's screw holes with those studs or spacers on the chassis. Install the motherboard with screws and have them tightened. To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with. To install this motherboard: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1-4 AN52S/AN52 Hardware Setup 1.5 Checking Jumper Settings · For a 2-pin jumper, plug the jumper cap on both pins will make it CLOSE (SHORT). Remove the jumper cap, or plug it on either pin (reserved for future use) will leave it at OPEN position. SHORT OPEN OPEN · For 3-pin jumper, pin 1~2 or pin 2~3 can be shorted by plugging the jumper cap in. Pin 1~2 SHORT Pin 2~3 SHORT 1.5.1 CMOS Memory Clearing Header and Backup Battery The time to clear the CMOS memory occurs when (a) the CMOS data becomes corrupted, (b) you forgot the supervisor or user password preset in the BIOS menu, (c) you are unable to boot-up the system because the CPU ratio/clock was incorrectly set in the BIOS menu, or (d) whenever there is modification on the CPU or memory modules. This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory and have it reconfigured to the default values stored in BIOS. · Pins 1 and 2 shorted (Default): Normal operation. Pins 2 and 3 shorted: Clear CMOS memory. · To clear the CMOS memory and load in the default values: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Power off the system. Set pin 2 and pin 3 shorted by the jumper cap. Wait for a few seconds. Set the jumper cap back to its default settings --- pin 1 and pin 2 shorted. Power on the system. For incorrect CPU ratio/clock settings in the BIOS, press key to enter the BIOS setup menu right after powering on system. Set the CPU operating speed back to its default or an appropriate value. Save and exit the BIOS setup menu. Another easy way to clear the CMOS memory can be done by switching the "EZ-CCMOS1", see the section of "Connecting Rear Panel I/O Devices" in this manual for detail. (For AN52S only) Please do shut down the system power before clearing CMOS memory. 1-5 AN52S/AN52 CMOS Backup Battery: An onboard battery saves the CMOS memory to keep the BIOS information stays on even after disconnected your system with power source. Nevertheless, this backup battery exhausts after some five years. Once the error message like "CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED" or "CMOS checksum error" displays on monitor, this backup battery is no longer functional and has to be renewed. To renew the backup battery: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Power off the system and disconnect with AC power source. Remove the exhausted battery. Insert a new CR2032 or equivalent battery. Pay attention to its polarity. The "+" side is its positive polarity. Connect AC power source and power on the system. Enter the BIOS setup menu. Reconfigure the setup parameters if necessary. CAUTION: Danger of explosion may arise if the battery is incorrectly renewed. Renew only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
