3. HARDWARE SETUP
4) Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MD)
For processors with locked frequency multiples, there is no way to exceed the
specified multiple whether through motherboard settings or BIOS setup. With
unlocked processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through BIOS
setup. Exceeding the specified multiple may result in hanging during bootup. If
this occurs, enable Safe Mode to force a multiple of 2 in order to enter BIOS
setup to correct the problem.

The motherboard is set so that when the BIOS detects a hang (timeout) during

effectively, set this jumper to No Reboot to disable auto-reboot.
