4.2.3Using BIOS setup program
If the system is no longer able to boot after changing the settings,
the only way to recover it is to clear the data stored in RTC CMOS.
To reset the RTC CMOS data, ta ke the JP1 jumper cap off pins 1-2,
pla ce onto pin s 2-3, and then place back onto pins 1-2 again. This
will return the RTC to the default setting. Then, get into the BIOS
setup progra m , choose Loa d Fail-Safe Defaults ; Loa d Opti mized
Defaults, a nd select the original ma nufacturer default settings in your
CMOS.

Microstepping is Iwill's a nther step f orward to provides users a

main functions, Auto Detecting CPUs speed and Micro
Adjustable CPU FSB speed.
Auto Detecting CPU speed:
IWILL MicroStepping will auto dete ct the CPU's factory
multiplier setting a nd CPU FSB to the factory default. This
function provides a "fuss free" CPU set up process for the
general users.
Micro Adjustable CPU FSB speed:
IWILL provides a user friendly overclocking function that
allows users to experience the fun of overclocking. This
function allows user to adjust CPU FSB by 1MHz interval.
This is particularly useful when user wants to extract the
most out of the purchased CPU. For exa mple: you sele ct
from 100, 101, 102, 103, 104,105MHz a nd up to the
maximum speed 166MHz that the system can sustained.
In the time should overclocking failed, MicroStepping will auto
detects the CPU's fa ctory multiplier setting and set the CPU
FSB to default 100MHz, to protect the CPU installed.
