CPU
When you have installed the processor onto the mainboard, it will detect the CPU
type and decide the CPU voltage automatically. So you don’t have to make any
jumper setting to select the CPU voltage and CPU FSB clock. All you have to do
is use the BIOS setting to select the CPU clock ratio. (Most CPU need not to
select the CPU clock ratio because it is "LOCKED", please refer to Section 3.4
for the switch setting or section 4-11 for the BIOS setting.)
