3. How to setupJumper
The illustration shows howjumpers are setup. When the Jumper cap is placed onpins, the
jumper is “close”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is ”open”. The
illustrationshows a 3-pin jumper whose pin 1and 2 are“close” when jumper cap is placed
on these2 pins.

4. CPU Installation
Step1: Pull the lever sideways away from thesocket and then raise the lever up to a
90-degree angle.
Step2: Look for the white dot/cut edge. The white dot/cut edgeshould point towards the
lever pivot. The CPUwill fit only in thecorrect orientation.
Step3: Hold the CPU downfirmly, and then close the lever.
Step4: Put the CPU fan onthe CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to
the JCFAN1. This completestheinstallation.

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 on our 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 systemspeed or a suitable one.
System Requirement
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows2000, Windows XP
DirectX:DirectX 8.1 or above. (The WindowsXP operating system includes DirectX 8.1. If
you useWindowsXP, youdo not need to install DirectX 8.1.)
