Chapter 3
Overclockability:
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking ability. However,
please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal
setting, while CPU clock speed is overclocked. Any attempt to operate
beyond product specifications is not recommended. We
are not
responsible
for damages
caused by inadequate operation
or settings
beyond product specifications.
3-8 Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
loads the default BIOS values directly from the CMOS
Setup Utility menu (Figure3-1). If user-defined BIOS settings are corrupted and
therefore unusable, these defaults will be loaded automatically when you turn on the
computer.
3-9 Load Optimized Defaults
Load Optimized Defaults
loads the default system values directly from the CMOS
Setup Utility menu (Figure3-1). If user-defined BIOS settings are corrupted and
therefore unusable, these defaults will be loaded automatically when you turn on the
computer.
3-10 Supervisor Password & User Password Setting
There are four different variables that control password settings. The first two are
located under the Security Option function in BIOS Features Setup Menu (Figure
3-1). When the Security Option function is set to
Setup
, a password is required to
enter BIOS and change BIOS settings. When the Security Option function is set to
System
, a password is required to enter both BIOS and the computer's operating
system (for example Windows 98) found on the boot drive.
The third and fourth variables are user password and supervisor password selected in
BIOS (Figure 3-1). The main purpose of separating user and supervisor is to allow
only the supervisor to have control over the settings in BIOS. The user, on the
other hand, is only allowed to access the computer's operating system and change
the user password in BIOS.
