2-5 Jumpers

For some features needed, users can change the jumper settings on this motherboard to modify them. This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting.

Description of Jumpers

1. For any jumper on this motherboard, Pin 1 can be identied by the bold silkscreen next to it.

However, in this manual, Pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”.

2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touching two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem.

Clear CMoS Jumper: ClR_CMoS

The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to

factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modied.

The steps to clear CMOS data are :

1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS data.

3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed.

4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on.

5. Go to BIOS Setup to congure new system as described in next chapter.

■ Disconnect the power cable before adjusting the jumper settings.

■ Do not clear the CMOS while the system is turned on.

CPU Configuration Parameters

CPU Conguration

► C1E Support

C1E represents Enhanced HALT State. It is a feature which Intel CPU uses to reduce power consumption when in halt state. C1E drops the CPU's multiplier and voltage to lower levels when a HLT (halt) command is issued. This item is used to enable/disable the C1E support.

► Hyper-Threading

This item is used to enable/disable the Hyper-Threading Technology feature.

► Execute Disable Bit

This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature. Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer

overow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.

Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation. Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks, reducing the need for virus-related repairs. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus,

rewall, spyware removal, e-mail ltering software, and other network security measures, IT

managers can free IT resources for other initiatives.

► Intel Virtualization Technology (Appears only when CPU supports)

Virtualization (i.e. Intel® Vanderpool Technology) allows a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions or “containers.” One physical compute system can function as multiple “virtual” systems. Vanderpool Technology can help improve future virtualization solutions. This item will be displayed only when the CPU is supporting this feature and the setting is used to enable/disable it.

ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface) is an open industry standard interfaces

enabling OS-directed conguration, power management, and thermal management of mobile,

desktop, and server platforms. It denes ve sleeping states, they are :

S1 - The S1 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. In this state, no system

context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context. (also called Power On Suspend)

S2 - The S2 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. This state is similar to the S1

sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS is responsible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event.

S3 - The S3 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state where all system context is lost

except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware

maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 conguration context. Control

starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event. (also called Suspend to RAM)

S4 - The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake latency sleeping state supported

by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware platform has powered off all devices. Platform context is maintained. (also called Suspend to Disk)

S5 - The S5 state is similar to the S4 state except that the OS does not save any context. The

system is in the “soft” off state and requires a complete boot when it wakes. Software

uses a different state value to distinguish between the S5 state and the S4 state to allow

for initial boot operations within the BIOS to distinguish whether or not the boot is going to wake from a saved memory image.
