This chapter describes jumpers, connectors and hardware devices of this motherboard.
Note: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drives, expansion boards,
and other components. Always observe the following precautions before you install a system
component.
1. Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist ground strap and attach it to a metal part of the system unit before handling a
component. If a wrist strap is not available, maintain contact with the system unit throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.

Clear CMOS
Tip: When should I Clear CMOS?
1. Boot fail because of overclocking…
2. Forget password…
3. Troubleshooting…
CClleeaarr CCMMOOSS DDaattaa
You can clear CMOS to restore system default setting. To clear the CMOS, follow the procedures 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 pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back to connector PWR2.

This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into
CPU socket.
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and
up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.

This jumper is used to specify the relationship of PCI and FSB clock. Generally speaking, if you are not overclockers, we
recommend you to set it to the default setting. Additionally, this motherboard also provides “1MHz Stepping Adjustment”
feature for overclockers to adjust CPU FSB frequency via BIOS setup program. Based on the CPU type, the adjustment range
has two levels: 100~132 (FSB=100, such as Athlon 800), 133~166 (FSB=133, such as Athlon 1000) MHz for your choosing. You
may also choose a specific FSB frequency ranging from 100~117 (say, 105, 110, 115 for example) and 120~156 with reference
to a frequency table in BIOS setup program. If you fix the CPU FSB frequency by JP21, the “1MHz Stepping Adjustment” range
will be changed and following your JP21 setting.
