2.5 Jumpers SetupThe illustration shows how jumpers are setup.When the jumper cap is placed onpins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap isplaced on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 andpin2 are “Short” when jumper cap is placed onthese 2 pins.JumperSettingDescriptionClear CMOS Jumpers(3-pin CLRMOS1)(see p.9, No. 28)DefaultClear CMOSCLRMOS1 :1-2 : Normal2-3 : Clear CMOSNote: CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset thesystem parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug thepower cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper capto short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clearthe CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS whenyou just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then shutit down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the password,date, time, user default profile and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOSbattery is removed.(2-pin CLRMOS2)(see p.9, No. 40)CLRMOS2 :Open : NormalShort : Auto Clear CMOS (Power Off)Note: CLRMOS2 allows you to clear the data in CMOS automatically when AC poweron.

Chapter 3: UEFI SETUP UTILITY3.1 IntroductionThis section explains how to use the UEFI SETUP UTILITY to configure yoursystem. The UEFI chip on the motherboard stores the UEFI SETUP UTILITY. Youmay run the UEFI SETUP UTILITY when you start up the computer. Please press F2 or Del during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the UEFI SETUPUTILITY, otherwise, POST will continue with its test routines.If you wish to enter the UEFI SETUP UTILITY after POST, restart the system bypressing Ctl Alt Delete , or by pressing the reset button on the systemchassis. You may also restart by turning the system off and then back on.Because the UEFI software is constantly being updated, thefollowing UEFI setup screens and descriptions are for referencepurpose only, and they may not exactly match what you see onyour screen.3.1.1 UEFI Menu BarThe top of the screen has a menu bar with the following selections:MainTo set up the system time/date informationAdvancedTo set up the advanced UEFI featuresH/W Monitor To display current hardware statusSecurityTo set up the security featuresBootTo set up the default system device to locate and load theOperating SystemExitTo exit the current screen or the UEFI SETUP UTILITYUse key or key to choose among the selections on the menubar, and then press Enter to get into the sub screen. You can also use themouse to click your required item.27

3.3 Advanced ScreenIn this section, you may set the configurations for the following items: CPU Configuration, Chipset Configuration, Storage Configuration, Super IO Configuration,AMT Configuration, ACPI Configuration, USB Configuration, Trusted Computing andThunderbolt(TM) Configuration.Setting wrong values in this section may causethe system to malfunction.Instant FlashInstant Flash is a UEFI flash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This convenient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI without enteringoperating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows . Just launch this tooland save the new UEFI file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or harddrive, then you can update your UEFI only in a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Pleasebe noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 filesystem. If you execute Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the UEFIfiles and their respective information. Select the proper UEFI file to updateyour UEFI, and reboot your system after UEFI update process completes.29
