Under special conditions, the jumper JAV should be set as OPEN. For further details, refer
to the BootEasy part of appendix.
Setting the jumper JAV as open(default), meanwhile disabling the Flash Write Protect item
from Advanced BIOS Features in AWARD BIOS CMOS Setup, allows you to flash the
BIOS to the Flash ROM.
The DMI (Desktop Management Interface) system information such as the CPU type/speed,
memory size, and expansion cards will be detected by the onboard BIOS and stored in the
flash ROM. Whenever the system hardware configuration is changed, DMI information will
be updated automatically. However, setting jumper JAV as closed makes flashing BIOS and
updating DMI information impossible. Therefore, set JAV as open when changing the sys-
tem hardware configuration, or the error message Unknown Flash Type will be displayed
on the screen, and DMI information may not be updated.
