How to set up Jumper
The illustration shows how to set up a jumper.When theJumpercap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration showsa 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and 2 are“close” when jumper cap is placed
on these2 pins.

Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from thesocket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Lookforthe white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point wardsthe lever
pivot. TheCPU willfit only inthe correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU downfirmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.

The motherboard provides a standardfloppy disk connector that supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
providedfloppy drive ribbon cables.
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100 functionality. It has two HDD
connectorsIDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).
The IDE connectorscan connect a master and a slave drive, soyou canconnect
up to four hard disk drives. The first hard drive should always be connected to
IDE1.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Slots: PCI 1-5
This motherboard isequipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI standsfor Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI
slot is designated as32 bits.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
video cardsfor PCIslots, but it is also equippedwith anAccelerated Graphics Port
(AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video
efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.

WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With theOverclock Manager, userscan easilyadjust the frequency they prefer orthey can
get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overvoltage Manager, on the other
hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware
Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the
chipset information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about BIOS
model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI
along with the CPU speed are synchronically shown onour main panel.
Moreover,to protect users'computer systemsif the setting is not appropriate when testing
and results in system fail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system
stability by automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either
the original system speed or a suitable one.
System Requirement
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows2000, Windows XP
