memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specications and capacity of the memory. En-
abling Four Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The eight DDR3 memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets
as following:
Channel A: DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_A1
Channel B: DDR3_P0_B0, DDR3_P0_B1
Channel C: DDR3_P0_C0, DDR3_P0_C1
Channel D: DDR3_P0_D0, DDR3_P0_D1
1-4 Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the
same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(
Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.
)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing
the memory to prevent hardware damage.
• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direc-
tion. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Four Channel mode.
1. Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Four Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

19) BAT1 (Battery)
The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS congurations, date, and time information)
in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a
low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.
You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:
1. Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for
one minute. (Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch
the positive and negative terminals of the battery holder, making
them short for 5 seconds.)
3. Replace the battery.
4. Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.
• Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect model.
• Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by yourself or uncertain about the battery
model.
• When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-) of the battery (the positive side
should face up).
• Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.
- 29 - Hardware Installation
20) CLR_CMOS1 (Clearing CMOS Jumper)
Use this jumper to clear the CMOS values (e.g. date information and BIOS congurations) and reset
the CMOS values to factory defaults. To clear the CMOS values, place a jumper cap on the two pins to
temporarily short the two pins or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few
seconds.
1-2 Close: Normal operation (Default setting)
2-3 Close: Clear CMOS data
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing the CMOS
values.
• After clearing the CMOS values and before turning on your computer, be sure to remove the jumper cap from
the jumper. Failure to do so may cause damage to the motherboard.
• After system restart, go to BIOS Setup Exit menu and load factory defaults (select Load Default Values) or
manually
congure the BIOS settings (refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," for BIOS congurations).

BIOS Setup - 32 -
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that
allows the user to modify basic system conguration settings or to activate certain system features. When
the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep
the conguration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <F2> key during the POST when the power is turned on. To
see more advanced BIOS Setup menu options, you can press <Ctrl> + <F1> in the main menu of the BIOS
Setup program.
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
• BIOS ashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems of using the current BIOS
version, it is recommended that you don't ash the BIOS. To ash the BIOS, do it with caution.
Inadequate BIOS ashing may result in system malfunction.
• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/
clearing CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)
