Hardware Setup

Software Power-Off Control

This mainboard can be powered down using theWindows 95 Software Power-Off
function.  To power down your computer, click the START button on the Windows 95
task bar.  Select "Shut Down The Computer" and the system turns off.  The message "It
is now safe to turn off your computer" will not be shown when using this function.

Power-On By Modem

While in Soft-off state, if an external modem ring-up signal occurs, the system turns on
and can be remotely accessed.  Please enable the Power on by Modem function in
BIOS's Power Management menu to activate this function.

CPU/System Cooling Fan 

Connectors 

(CPUFAN/SYSFAN)

These added connectors allow the fans to draw their
power from the mainboard instead of the disk drive
connector.  These fan connectors are available because
some systems have all the disk drive power connectors in
use.

Clear CMOS Data Jumper (JP2)

To clear the contents of the CMOS, please follow the
steps below.
1. Disconnect the system power supply from  the power

source.

2. Set the jumper cap at location 2~3 for 5 seconds, then

set back to the default position.

3. Connect the system's power and then start the system.
4. Enter BIOS, load the setup default

 

settings in the

CMOS Setup Utility Menu and then set the system
configuration in the Standard CMOS Setup menu.
