Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation thatcame with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is alreadyinstalled in a chassis).3. Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keepthe screw for later use.4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card iscompletely seated on the slot.5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.6. Replace the system cover.2.5.22.5.22.5.22.5.22.5.2 Configuring an expansion cardConfiguring an expansion cardConfiguring an expansion cardConfiguring an expansion cardConfiguring an expansion cardAfter installing the expansion card, configure the it by adjusting thesoftware settings.1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any.See Chapter 4 for information on BIOS setup.2. Assign an IRQ to the card. Refer to the tables on the next page.3.

Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)This jumper allows you to clear the  Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM inCMOS. You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and systemsetup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboardbutton cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which includesystem setup information such as system passwords.To erase the RTC RAM:1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.2. Remove the onboard battery.3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep thecap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back topins  1-2.4. Re-install the battery.5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOSsetup to re-enter data.Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTCjumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due tooverclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPUParameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOScan automatically reset parameter settings to default values.12 23A8V-EDELUXE®A8V-E DELUXE Clear RTC RAMCLRTCNormal Clear CMOS(Default)
