Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards, and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system component. 1. 2. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection. 17 AX34-U J P 1 4 C l e a r C MO S D a t a Online Manual You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1 & pin2. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2. Tip: When should I Clear CMOS? 1 1 1. Boot fail because of overclocking... 2. Forget password... Normal (default) Clear CMOS 3. Troubleshooting... 18 AX34-U C P U I n s t al l a ti o n Online Manual This motherboard supports Intel ® Pentium III ® (Both Coppermine and Tualatin are supported) and CeleronTM Socket 370 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into CPU socket. 1. Pull up the CPU socket level and up to 90-degree angle. 2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into the socket. CPU pin 1 and cut edge CPU socket Lever CPU cut edge Note: These pictures are for example only, it may not exactly be the same motherboard. 19 AX34-U 3. Press down the CPU socket level and finish CPU installation. CPU cut edge Online Manual Note: If you do not match the CPU socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge well, it may damage the CPU. Note: This socket supports FC-PGA /FC-PGA2 package CPU, which is the latest CPU package developed by Intel. We strongly recommend you not to insert former PPGA-package CPU onto it.
