3.4 Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard's function settings
through the use of switches and/or jumpers.
WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Inte-
grated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you
should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the compo-
nent whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the
ATX power connector on the motherboard.
1) JumperFree™ Mode (JEN)
This jumper allows you to enable or disable the JumperFree™ mode. The
JumperFree™ mode allows processor settings to be made through the BIOS
setup (see 4.4 Advanced Menu)
IMPORTANT:
In JumperFree mode, all jumpers must be set to [1-2].
