Motherboard Layout (35-AA14-X0-XX)
The following diagrams show the relative positions of the jumpers, connectors, major
components and memory banks on the motherboard.
NOTE
1) Be sure to check the cable orientation in order to match the colored strip to the pin
1 end of the connector.
2) When you start up the system, please wait for 5 seconds after you power on AC.
3) It is not recommended to add a metal spacer plate on the back of the Socket754.
Otherwise, some components will be short and damaged.

Jumper Settings
This chapter explains how to configure the motherboard’s hardware. Before using your
computer, make sure all jumpers and DRAM modules are set correctly. Refer to this
chapter whenever in doubt.
CPU Speed Selection
In this motherboard, jumperless feature is implemented such that no jumper is required to
be set for different type of CPU installed.
Notice:
1. Be sure to save the CMOS setting when exit the CMOS.
2. If the CPU is frequency multiplier locked, no CPU speed change will be seen
even if the frequency multiplier setting in CMOS setup is changed.
