You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the system and unplug the AC power.
2. Remove ATX power cable from connector PWR2.
3. Locate JP14 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP14 to its normal setting by shorting pins 1 & pin2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

Warning: Intel® 845D
chipset supports
maximum 400MHz
(100MHz*4) system bus
and 66MHz AGP clock;
higher clock setting may
cause serious system
damage.
Note: Since t he latest
rocessor, Northwood,
would detect the clock
ratio automatically,
you may not be able
to adjust the clock
ratio in BIOS
manually.

This motherboard has two 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets that allow you to install DDR266 memory up to 2 GB. Both ECC and
Non-ECC DDR SDRAM are supported, but you can’t install them both on DIMM. Otherwise, it will cause serious damage on
memory sockets or SDRAM module.
Warning: Pl le-side DDR
SDRAM is not allowed to be installed on both
DIMM2 nd DIMM3. if you have had
installed two double-side DDR SDRAM on
them, the system can only r side DDR
SDRAM on ea DIMM2 an However,
you are not recommended to do erwise,
it will cause serious damage on memory

Please follow the procedure as shown below to finish memory installation.
1. Make sure the DIMM module’s pin face down and match the socket’s size as depicted below.
2. Insert the module straight down to the DIMM slot with both
in place.
. Repeat step 2 to finish additional DIMM modules installation.
