3. HARDWARE SETUP
3) Safe Mode Setting (JP10)
Usually socket 370 processors have locked frequency multiples. In this case, there
is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard settings
or BIOS setup. With unlocked socket 370 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 mul-
tiple of 2 and 100MHz FSB to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.

4) Automatic Timeout Reboot Setting (JP12)
The motherboard is set so that when the BIOS detects a hang (timeout) during
bootup, the motherboard will automatically reboot. If rebooting is repeating in-
effectively, set this jumper to No Reboot to disable auto-reboot. However, if
Safe Mode Setting (JP10) is set to Safe Mode, setting Automatic Timeout
Reboot Setting (JP12) to No Reboot will bring the system to Safe Mode so you
may correct any problem.
