the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper

is “Open”. e illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”

when a jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRMOS1)

(see p.6, No. 8)

CLRMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system

parameters to default setup, please turn o the computer and unplug the power

cord from the power supply. Aer waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to

short pin2 and pin3 on CLRMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear the

CMOS right aer you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you

just nish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it

3.4 Enabling USB Ports for Windows® 7 Installation

Intel® Braswell and Skylake has removed their support for the Enhanced Host

Controller Interface (EHCI – USB2.0) and only kept the eXtensible Host Controller

Interface (XHCI – USB3.0). Due to that fact that XHCI is not included in the

Windows 7 inbox drivers, users may nd it dicult to install Windows 7 operating

system because the USB ports on their motherboard won’t work. In order for the

USB ports to function properly, please create a Windows® 7 installation disk with

the Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) drivers packed into the ISO

le.

Requirements

• A Windows® 7 installation disk or USB drive

• USB 3.0 drivers (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)

• A Windows® PC

• Win7 USB Patcher (included in the ASRock Support CD or website)

Scenarios

You have an ODD and PS/2 ports:

If there is an optical disc drive, PS/2 ports and PS/2 Keyboard or mouse on your computer,

you can skip the instructions below and go ahead to install Windows® 7 OS.

You only have an ODD (For Intel Skylake platforms only):

If there is an optical disc drive but no PS/2 ports on your computer, please enable the “PS/2

Simulator” option in , which UEFI SETUP UTILITY > Advanced > USB Conguration

allows the USB port to function as a PS/2 port, and then you can install the Windows® 7

OS. Please set PS/S Simulator back to disabled aer the installation.

You’ve got nothing:

If you do not have an optical disc drive, please nd another computer and follow the

instructions below to create a new ISO le with the “Win7 USB Patcher”. en use the new

patched Windows® 7 installation USB drive to install Windows® 7 OS.
