3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in

DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel

Memory Technology.

4. It is not allowed to install a DDR3 memory module into DDR2 slot

or install a DDR2 memory module into DDR3 slot; otherwise, this

motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

5. DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules cannot be installed on this

motherboard at the same time.

6. To have the best performance with DDR3 1600 XMP memory

modules, it is suggested to install one memory module on each

channel. For example, install them in the set of green slots

(DDR3_A1 and DDR3_B1) or in the set of pink slots (DDR3_A2

and DDR3_B2).

Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot

at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.

2.7 Jumpers Setup

The illustration shows how jumpers are

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1

and pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is

placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting Description

PS2_USB_PWR1 Short pin2, pin3 to enable

(see p.2 No. 1) +5VSB (standby) for PS/2

or USB wake up events.

Note: To select +5VSB, it requires 2 Amp and higher standby current provided by

power supply.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)

(see p.2, No. 13)

Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. The data in CMOS includes

system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system

setup parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup,

please turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power supply.

After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1

for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the

BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just finish updating the BIOS, you

must boot up the system first, and then shut it down before you do the clear-

CMOS action.
