BIOS-Protection Jumper (JP2)
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. If the jumper JP2 is set as closed
(Pin1&Pin2), the system BIOS is protected from being attacked by serious virus
such as CIH virus,you will be unable to flash the BIOS to the mainboard. How-
ever in this status .
Setting the jumper JP2 as open(Pin2&Pin3 default), meanwhile disabling the
“Flash Write Protect” item in BIOS, 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 configura-
tion is changed, DMI information will be updated automatically.
