Jumper Settings

Explanation of
Jumpers

To modify the operation of the

motherboard, jumpers can be used

to choose between optional set-

tings.  Jumpers create shorts be-

function of the connector.  Pin 1 is

identified with a square solder pad

on the printed circuit board.

On a 2-pin jumper, "Closed" means

the jumper is over both pins (to

" c l o s e "   t h e   c o n n e c t i o n )   a n d

"Open" means the jumper is either

off or on a single pin only.  See

the motherboard layout pages for

jumper locations.

Front Side Bus Speed

The FSB speed (also known as

system speed) is set with JP6 and

JP7.  See the table on the right for

pin definitions.

Note: Most Intel processors have

a fixed speed that overrules the

setting of JP6 and JP7.
