Quick Buttons
This motherboard has four quick buttons: Power, Reset, Clear CMOS, and Direct to BIOS. The power button
and reset button allow users to quickly turn on/off or reset the computer in an open-case environment when
they want to change hardware components or conduct hardware testing. Use this button to clear the BIOS
congurationandresettheCMOSvaluestofactorydefaultswhenneeded.TheDirecttoBIOSbuttonhelps
usersmoreeasilytodirectlyentertheBIOSatanytimebeforerebootingthesystem.(Pressingthisbuttonduring
the POST process allows you to immediately enter BIOS Setup. Enter BIOS Setup directly on next boot if the
buttonispressedafterthePOSTprocess.)
PW_SW: Power Button
RST_SW: Reset Button
CMOS_SW: Clear CMOS Button
DTB: Direct to BIOS Button
• Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before clearing
the CMOS values.
• NOTE: Do not use the clear CMOS button when the system is on, or the system may shutdown
and data loss or damage may occur.
