Notes:
Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding,
removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you in-
stall the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified
multi-directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the system board into the chassis before you install
the CPU heatsink.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads
to prevent accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such
as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection.
Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
Note 1. For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the sys-
tem, remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.
Note 2. Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short
JBT1 to clear CMOS.

BIOS
4-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DA7. It also provides
the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens. The AMI
ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
Note: The AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. The manufacturer
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes-
sages.
The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save
the settings and exit the setup utility.

Appendix A: BIOS POST Error Codes
Appendix A
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed at each
system boot, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue to
boot. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with bootup procedure. If a
fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible
repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the
corresponding error.
5 short beeps + 1 long beep Memory error No memory detected in the system
