Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?) Appendix I. I-1 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.
I-2 Appendix I 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.
