Manual for WinneX 5
If CPU FSB is set as default setting Auto, the system detects the CPU front side bus
automatically. If CPU FSB is set as 100MHz, the system will run at 100MHz even if a
processor with 66MHz FSB is installed. Setting up to 133MHz FSB is also supported.
However, whether or not the 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 implemented by setting CPU FSB as 100/133MHz, meanwhile adjusting the bus
ratio (Multiplier) lower in “ CPU SpeedEasy Setup” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Seup. We do
not guarantee the overclocking system to be stable.
FWH Protection Jumper (JAV)
The BIOS of the mainboard is inside the FWH. 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 open, meanwhile disabling the “ Flash Write Protect” item in
AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the BIOS to the flash ROM in FWH.
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 in FWH. 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
open when changing the system hardware configuration, or the error message “ Un-
known Flash Type” will be displayed on the screen, and DMI information update will fail
while updating DMI.
