MSI Reminds You...
If you do not want to connect to the front audio header, pins 5 & 6, 9 & 10 have to be jumpered in
order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise, the Line-Out connector on
the back panel will not function.
Front USB Connectors: F_USB1 / F_USB2
The mainboard provides two standard USB 2.0 pinheaders.
USB2.0 technology increases data transfer rate up to a
maximum throughput of 480Mbps, which is 40 times faster
than USB 1.1, and is ideal for connecting high-speed USB
interface peripherals such as USB HDD, digital cameras,
MP3 players, printers, modems and the like.
MSI Reminds You...
Note that the pins of VCC and GND must be connected correctly to avoid possible damage.
Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS1
There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply
from external battery to keep the data of system
configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. If you
want to clear the system configuration, use this jumper to clear data.
MSI Reminds You...
You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position.
Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.
PCI Express Lite Slot
The PCI Express Lite slot (PCI Express x4) is a special design that supports only the following
compatible PCI-E x16 VGA
cards and runs at x4 speed.
