JP1 is located between motherboard connectors PCI2 and PRI-IDE.
• Remove the jumper from the default position on JP1, and install it in reset position.
• Wait one full minute.
• Remove the jumper from the reset position on JP1, and reinstall it in the default
position.

Align the motherboard with the screw holes in the bottom of the pan, sliding the edge
connectors into the connector panel cutouts.
