Manual for Advance 6E series
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. However in this status, the system BIOS is
protected from being attacked by serious virus such as CIH virus.
Under special conditions, the jumper “JAV” should be set as OPEN. For further details, refer
to the “BootEasy” part of appendix.
Setting the jumper JAV as open(default), meanwhile disabling the “Flash Write Protect” item
from “Advanced BIOS Features ” in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS.
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 “Unknown Flash Type” will be dis-
played on the screen, and DMI information update will be fail.
Enable/Disable Onboard LAN( J3 )( optional )
If you want to use the onboard Ethernet, set J3 with pin2&pin3 closed. Otherwise, set J3
with pin1&pin2 closed for disabling this function.Please set J3 as pin1&pin2 closed when
using expansion LAN card.
