8)  BAT (Battery)

 

The battery provides power to keep the values (such as BIOS configurations, date, and time information) 

in the CMOS when the computer is turned off. Replace the battery when the battery voltage drops to a 
low level, or the CMOS values may not be accurate or may be lost.

You may clear the CMOS values by removing the battery:

1.  Turn off your computer and unplug the power cord.

2.  Gently remove the battery from the battery holder and wait for one 

minute. (Or use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the positive 

and negative terminals of the battery holder, making them short for 5 

seconds.)

3.  Replace the battery.

4.  Plug in the power cord and restart your computer.

  Always turn off your computer and unplug the power cord before replacing the battery.

  Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Danger of explosion if the battery is replaced with 

an incorrect model. 

  Contact the place of purchase or local dealer if you are not able to replace the battery by your-

self or uncertain about the battery model.

  When installing the battery, note the orientation of the positive side (+) and the negative side (-) 

of the battery (the positive side should face up).

  Used batteries must be handled in accordance with local environmental regulations.

9)  SPDIF_O (S/PDIF Out Header)

 

This header supports digital S/PDIF Out and connects a S/PDIF digital audio cable (provided by expan-
sion cards) for digital audio output from your motherboard to certain expansion cards like graphics cards 
and sound cards. For example, some graphics cards may require you to use a S/PDIF digital audio cable 
for digital audio output from your motherboard to your graphics card if you wish to connect an HDMI 
display to the graphics card and have digital audio output from the HDMI display at the same time. For 
information about connecting the S/PDIF digital audio cable, carefully read the manual for your expan-
sion card.
