1. JP3 Clear CMOS
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.
3. Locate JP3 and short pins 2-3 for a few seconds.
4. Return JP3 to its normal setting by shorting pin 1 & pin 2.
5. Connect ATX power cable back.

2. Installing CPU & System Fan
There are four system FAN connectors provided by Fortress1100 system. Each of them is a 3-pin
connector, which brings the failure report, 12V power and ground. The system FAN is designed with

3. Installing Processor
CPU socket lever
CPU Pin 1 and cut edge
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and up to
90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a
(golden) cut edge on the CPU uppe
interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge.
Then insert the CPU into the socket.
3. Press down the CPU socket lever and
finish CPU installation.
Note: If you do not match the CPU
socket Pin 1 and CPU cut edge
well, it may damage the CPU.
4. Supported CPU Type
Fortress1100 supports one Coppermine (up to 1 GHz with 256 L2 cache) or Tualatin
(up to 1.26 GHz with 512K L2 cache) processor with external FSB up to 133 MHz.

5. Setting CPU Voltage & Frequency
Setting CPU Core Voltage
This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically
detected and the range is from 1.05V to 1.825V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage
Setting CPU Frequency
This motherboard is CPU jumper-less design, the system can detect the CPU frequency
automatically, and no jumpers or switches are needed.
BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup
Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio
