Reconfiguring the Motherboard
You can change the default configuration (as shipped) of
this motherboard as needed. However, since this
motherboard has only a few hardware configuration op-
tions and the CMOS Setup Utility configuration is mostly
either required, recommended or automatic, there will
probably be little reason to do so.
Hardware Reconfiguration
We recommend leaving the jumper settings at the default
settings unless you need to perform the Clear CMOS pro-
cedure.
You should set the Frontside Bus Speed jumper JP5 to
the 100MHz setting if you are going to use a single CPU
configuration and the CPU you are installing has a 200MHz
Frontside Bus speed. In a dual CPU configuration, don’t
change this jumper. The motherboard only supports
Athlon MP CPUs in a dual configuration and these use
the default jumper setting.
You can change the CPU Overvoltage jumper J25 setting
if you want to overclock the CPU, but don’t do this un-
less you really know what you are doing, are willing to
void your CPU warranty and understand that IWILL does
not assure system performance if you do so.
Firmware Reconfiguration
You can initially specify or customize the CMOS Setup
Utility settings when you first configure the system (as
covered in Chapter 5) to meet your requirements. Other
than doing this, there should be no need to reconfigure
the CMOS Setup Utility unless the system configuration
changes or the configuration record stored in CMOS
memory becomes corrupted and unusable, which is not
common. If you need to completely recreate the system
configuration record, follow the Clear CMOS procedure
described in this chapter.
