Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the mother- board, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers cre- ate shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identiﬁed with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the diagram at right for an example of jumping pins 1 and

2.Refer to the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.

Note:Ontwo-pinjumpers,"Closed"means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.

Setting

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To Clear CMOS

1.First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

2.With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver.

3.Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

4.Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

VGA Enable/Disable

JPG1 allows you to enable or disable the VGA port. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable VGA. See the table on the right for jumper settings.
