3. Function jumper

JBAT1 Clear CMOS: Power off and short circuit 2-3 to clear BIOS and system time;

COM1 mode JP1-4 four sets of jumpers: RS232/422/485/485+four levels are achieved through multiple jumper combinations (A4 only has two sets of jumpers, lacking 485+); No independent watchdog to disable jumper, WDT is controlled by BIOS switch.

Chapter 3 Getting Started Hardware Installation Process

General electrostatic specifications

Power off throughout the entire process, anti-static wristband/workbench, do not touch LGA1155 slot contacts, damage will result in loss of warranty.

1. LGA1155 CPU installation

The steps are exactly the same as NuPRO-A40: release the lock rod → lift the pressure plate → remove the protective cover → align the CPU triangle mark with slot Pin1 → lay the CPU flat → fasten the pressure plate and lock rod, and violent pressing is strictly prohibited.

2. Installation of radiator

Apply thermal grease evenly to the CPU and connect the fan to FAN1; The maximum ambient temperature inside the chassis is limited to 50 ℃, and not installing heat dissipation will permanently damage the CPU and motherboard.
