Setting of JP2: (JP2 is optional)
This mainboard has the Hardware Monitoring designed on the mainboard. If
you find the W83783S chip installed on U1, then the thermal resistor under the
CPU socket will detect the CPU temperature. There are two thermal resistors
on the mainboard and the setting of JP2 will decide which resistor is active:
Pin 1 & Pin 2 Short
: Socket 370 thermal resistor is active
Pin 2 & Pin 3 Short
: Slot 1 thermal resistor is active.
