CPU Bus Ratio Selection (JX1, JX2,JX3, JX4) then Note: The most of Socket-370 processors have bus ratio locked. In this case, it’s not necessary to set the bus ratio by jumper setting. So only unlocked Socket - 370 processors can adjust specified bus ratio through hardware jumper setting. Warning: Do not set CPU frequency higher than its working frequency.
