Notice

:

1. Be sure to save the CMOS setting when exit the CMOS.

2. If the CPU is frequency multiplier locked, no CPU speed change will be    

 

seen even if the frequency multiplier setting in CMOS setup is   changed.

Jumper setting

This chapter explains how to configure the motherboard’s hardware. Before us-

ing your computer, make sure all jumpers and DRAM modules are set correctly. 

Refer to this chapter whenever in doubt.

    If you want to clear the system configuration, use the JP1 (Clear CMOS 

Jumper) to clear data.
