3: Motherboard Configuration
This chapter details the motherboards default configu-
ration and configuration options. Please review the con-
tents of this chapter to find out information on the de-
fault configuration or alternative configuration options
to change the default configuration.
The motherboard will operate properly in the default
configuration. Please make certain that any configura-
tion changes you make will not adversely affect system
operation.
The Default Configuration
The default configuration is set at the time of manufac-
ture. The configuration is comprised of the hardware con-
figuration settings and the default firmware settings in
the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility.
Hardware Configuration: Jumper Settings
This motherboard is mainly configured in firmware, which
simplifies configuration. There are also a few hardware
settings. The hardware settings are configured using stan-
dard jumper switches. The motherboard has five jumper
switches. The first section is about the two BIOS-related
jumpers and the second about the three hardware con-
figuration jumpers.
