Power Connector)

With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components

onthemotherboard.Beforeconnectingthepowerconnector,rstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned

off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the

power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.

The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,

the computer will not start.

To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high

power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the

required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

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conguration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congurationvaluesintheCMOS.

To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.

To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.

•Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.

•@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet

and updates the BIOS.
