How to set up Jumper
The illustration shows how to set up a jumper. When the Jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose pin 1 and 2 are “close” when jumper cap is placed
on these 2 pins.
Jumper open Jumper close Pin1-2 close
CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edge should point towards the
lever pivot. The CPU will fit only in the correct orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete the installation.
Step4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. Then the installation is completed.

Floppy Disk Connector: FDD1
The motherboard provides a standard floppy disk connector that supports 360K,
720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy disk types. This connector supports the
provided floppy drive ribbon cables.
Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1/ IDE2
The motherboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE Controller that provides PIO
Mode 0~4, Block Mode, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 33/ 66/ 100/ 133 functionality.
It has two HDD connectors IDE1 (primary) and IDE2 (secondary).
The IDE connectors can connect a master and a slave drive, so you can connect
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 is equipped with 5 standard PCI slots. PCI stands for Peripheral
Component Interconnect, and it is a bus standard for expansion cards. This PCI
slot is designated as 32 bits.
Accelerated Graphics Port Slot: AGP1
Your monitor will attach directly to that video card. This motherboard supports
video cards for PCI slots, but it is also equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port
(AGP). An AGP card will take advantage of AGP technology for improved video
efficiency and performance, especially with 3D graphics.
Serial ATA Connector: JSATA1/ JSATA2 (Optional)
The motherboard has a PCI to SATA Controller with 2 channels SATA interface, it
satisfies the SATA 1.0 spec and can transfer data with 1.5 Gb/s speed.

WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they 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 on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if 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, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system includes DirectX 8.1. If
you use Windows XP, you do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)
