Manual for Advance 10B/Advance 10F
If CPU FSB is set as 66MHz, the system only run at 66MHz front side bus even if a processor
with 100MHz or higher. If CPU FSB is set as 100MHz, the system can run at 100MHz front side
bus even if a processor with 66MHz FSB is installed. Setting up to 133MHz FSB is also
supported. However, whether or not your system can be overclocked depends on your
processor’s capability. Whether the processor is bus ratio locked or unlocked should also be
taken into account. For bus ratio unlocked processor, this overclocking feature can be imple-
mented by setting JFSB1 and JFSB2 as all opened, meanwhile respectively adjusting the bus
clock higher and the bus ratio (Multiplier) lower in “SpeedEasy CPU Setup” in AWARD BIOS
CMOS Setup. We do not guarantee the overclocking system to be stable.
BIOS-ProtectEasy Jumper (JAV)
The BIOS of the mainboard is contained inside the Flash ROM. If the jumper JAV is set as
closed, you will be unable to flash the BIOS to the mainboard. However in this status, the
system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.
Setting the jumper JAV as opened(default), meanwhile disabling the “Flash Write Protect”
item from “BIOS Features Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS to the Flash ROM.
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However, setting jumper JAV as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as closed when changing the
system hardware configuration, or the error message “Unkown Flash Type” will be dis-
played on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.
Setting the jumper JAV as closed, the Pentium
