VC15 Mainboard Manual

1). Set System Jumpers

NOTE: Users are not encouraged to change the jumper/switch set-
tings not listed in this manual. Changing the settings improperly
may adversely affect system performance.

3).

CPU Fan Installation

This connector is linked to the CPU fan. When the system is in some power saving

mode, the CPU fan will turn off; when it reverts back to full on mode, the fan will turn

back on. 

Without sufficient air circulation, the CPU may overheat resulting in

damage to both the CPU and the mainboard.

Damage may occur to the mainboard and/or the CPU fan if these pins are

used incorrectly. These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these

pins.

FSB Speed Select: FS1

The jumper allows you to select the host frequency of your mainboard.
