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 Intel® Pentium 4 Socket 478 series CPU (Willamette / Northwood). 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.

BIOS Setup > Frequency/Voltage Control > CPU Clock Setting
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, you can set CPU frequency through the BIOS setup, and no jumpers or switches are needed.
The default setting is "table select mode". You can adjust the FSB from "CPU Host/SDRAM/PCI Clock" for overclocking.
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio
PCI Clock = CPU FSB Clock / Clock Ratio
AGP Clock = PCI Clock x 2
CPU Ratio 10x… 21x, 22x, 23x, 24x
CPU FSB (By BIOS table) 100, 105, 108, 112 and 133MHz.
The onboard I/O devices are PS/2 Keyboard, PS/2 Mouse, RJ-45 LAN Connector, COM1 and VGA, Printer, Six USB, AC97 sound and
