Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?) H-1 Appendix H. Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?) Q & A: Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my new computer system? A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard. Please move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and then back. When you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the user's manual to load the optimized defaults.
H-2 Appendix H Q: How can I get a quick response to my request for technical support? A: Be sure to follow the guidelines as stated in the “Technical Support Form” section of this manual. If you have a problem during operation, in order to help our technical support personnel quickly determine the problem with your motherboard and give you the answers you need, before filling in the technical support form, eliminate any peripheral that is not related to the problem, and indicate it on the form.
Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?) H-3 Main instructions: To fill in this “Technical Support Form”, refer to the step-by-step instructions given below: 1*.
