[. . . ] To use the 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug your power supply along with Pin 1 and Pin 5. 1 4 4-Pin ATX 12V Power Supply Installation 5 8 IEEE 1394 Header (9-pin FRONT_1394) (see p. 11 No. 14) 1 RXTPAM_0 GND RXTPBM_0 +12V GND +12V RXTPBP_0 GND RXTPAP_0 Besides one default IEEE 1394 port on the I/O panel, there is one IEEE 1394 header (FRONT_1394) on this motherboard. This COM1 header supports a serial port module. Serial port Header (9-pin COM1) (see p. 11 No. 33) 1 RRXD1 DDTR#1 DDSR#1 CCTS#1 RRI#1 RRTS#1 GND TTXD1 DDCD#1 30 HDMI_SPDIF Header (2-pin HDMI_SPDIF1) (see p. 11 No. 2) 1 GND SPDIFOUT HDMI_SPDIF header, providing SPDIF audio output to HDMI VGA card, allows the system to connect HDMI Digital TV/ projector/LCD devices. Please connect the HDMI_SPDIF connector of HDMI VGA card to this header. 31 2. 9 Smart Switches This motherboard has three smart switches: power switch, reset switch and clear CMOS switch, allowing users to quickly turn on/off or reset the system or clear the CMOS values. 26) Power Switch is a smart switch, allowing users to quickly turn on/off the system. Reset Switch is a smart switch, allowing users to quickly reset the system. Clear CMOS Switch is a smart switch, allowing users to quickly clear the CMOS values Reset Switch (RSTBTN) (see p. 11 No. 17) clr CMOS You are not allowed to use Clear CMOS switch function if you set up the system password.

The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other components before system memory is available. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the BIOS: Checkpoint Before D1 D1 Description Early chipset initialization is done. Early super I/O initialization is done including RTC and keyboard controller. If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do memory sizing in Bootblock code. Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control is given to it. Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if BIOS recovery is forced. The Bootblock-Runtime interface module is moved to system memory and control is given to it. Leaves all RAM below 1MB Read-Write including E000 and F000 shadow areas but closing SMRAM. Give control to BIOS POST (ExecutePOSTKernel). D4 D5 D6 D7 DA 33 The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS pre-boot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS: Checkpoint 03 Description Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers.
