BIOS Protection Jumper (BIOS_WP)
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. If the jumper BIOS_WP 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
BIOS_WP as open(default), meanwhile disabling the Flash Write Protect item from
QDI Innovation Features 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.
Enable/Disable Onboard LAN( LAN_EN )
(Available on -L,-AL series mainboard)
You can enable or disable onboard LAN function through jumper LAN_EN. Please disable
onboard LAN when using expansion ethernet card.
