Installation Instruction
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 BIO S is protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.
Setting the jumper JAV as open(default), meanwhile disabling the “BIOS_ProtectEasy” item
from “Advanced BIOS 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 infor mation imposs ible. T herefor e, set JAV as closed when c hanging 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.
Clear CMOS (JCC)
If you want to clear CMOS, unplug the AC power supply first, close JCC (pin1 & pin2) once,
set JCC back to the normal status with pin2 & pin3 connected, then power on the system.
