This section explains how to use the various functions of this motherboard by changing the jumper settings. Users should read the following content carefully prior to modifying any jumper setting. Description of Jumpers 1. For any jumper on this motherboard, Pin 1 can be identified by the bold silkscreen next to it. However, in this manual, Pin 1 is simply labeled as “1”. 2. The following table explains different types of the jumper settings. "Closed" means placing a jumper cap on the two pins to temporarily short them. The shorting can also be done by touching two pins by a screwdriver for a few seconds, but using jumper cap is recommended. It can prevent hazardous ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) problem. Clear CMOS Jumper: CLR_CMOS The motherboard uses CMOS RAM to store the basic hardware information (such as BIOS data, date, time information, hardware password...etc.). Clear CMOS data is the fast way to go back to factory default when the BIOS settings were mistakenly modified. The steps to clear CMOS data are : 1. Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord from the power outlet. 2. Remove jumper cap from pins 2-3, put it onto pins 1-2 to short them. This will clear CMOS data. 3. Return the setting to its original with pins 2-3 closed. 4. Plug in the power cord to your computer and turn it on. 5. Go to BIOS Setup to configure new system as described in next chapter.

Model name of this product. ► BIOS Version It displays the current BIOS version. User can check this information and discuss with the field service people if a BIOS upgrade is needed. ► Memory This item displays the current memory size. The size is depending on how many memory mod­ ules were installed in your system before powering on. ► MAC Address This item shows the onboard LAN MAC address. ► CPU Name It displays the current CPU name.

► IDE Detect Time Out This item is used to select the time out value for detecting ATA/ATAPI devices. If the checking time is over the set value, the system will skip it. ► MPS Revision This feature is only applicable to multiprocessor motherboards as it specifies the version of the MPS that the motherboard will use. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and build CPU architecture systems with two or more processors. MPS 1.1 was the original specification. MPS version 1.4 adds extended configuration tables for improved support of multiple PCI bus configurations and greater expandability in the future. In addition, MPS 1.4 introduces support for a secondary PCI bus without requiring a PCI bridge. If your operating system comes with support for MPS 1.4, you should keep the setting as the default 1.4. You also need to enable MPS 1.4 support if you need to make use of the secondary PCI bus on a motherboard that doesn't come with a PCI bridge. You should only leave it as 1.1 only if you are running an older operating system that only supports MPS 1.1. ► PCI Latency Timer This item is used to set the PCI latency timer. The value is in unit of PCI cycle for PCI device latency timer register. Setting values are 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248. This feature controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another takes over. The larger the value, the longer the PCI device can retain control of the bus. Low values for the PCI Latency Timer will reduce the effective PCI bandwidth while higher values means every PCI device will have to wait longer before they can get access to the bus, but when they do get access, they can conduct their transactions for a longer time. Normally, a default value of 64 cycles is set. Some PCI devices may not agree with longer latency times so if you start facing problems like stuttering sound or a less responsive system, reduce the latency. Higher values will actually reduce performance as too much time may be allocated to each PCI device to the disadvantage of other devices on the bus. ► Quiet Boot This item is used to enable/disable the quiet boot.

A Trusted Platform Mod­ ule offers facilities for secure generation of cryptographic keys. The TPM Work Group is chartered to create the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specifica­ tion. The definition of the TPM architecture comes from the TC and the TPM Work Group defines the implementation of that architecture. Work group members should have a working knowledge of security in relation to the design and usage of cryptographic modules. Members should also have a working knowledge of cryptographic techniques including public-key cryp­ tography, cryptographic algorithms and protocols. This item is used to enable/disable the function of TCG/TPM support. CMOS Setup Utility - Copyright (C) 1985-2008, American Megatrends, Inc.

► Max CPUID Value Limit This item is used to enable or disable CPUID maximum value limit configuration. Set [Disa­ bled] for WinXP. ► Execute-Disable Bit Capability This item is used to enable/disable the Execute Disable Bit feature. Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation. Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks, reducing the need for virus-related repairs.

► Memory Configuration / DRAM Timing Configuration Press to go to its submenu. ► Initate Graphic Adapter This item is used to choose the initial graphics controller which will be used as the primary boot device. ► Internal Graphics Mode Select This item is used to select the amount of system memory used by internal graphics device. ► DVMT Mode Select Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) dynamically allocates system memory for use as video memory to ensure the most efficient use of available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance. The amount of video memory allocated depends upon the amount requested by the operating system. When the memory is no longer required, it is returned to the operating system for use by other applications or system functions. DVMT allocates memory based on system needs. This BIOS option allows you to adjust the amount of memory available for DVMT. Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization. This fixed amount of memory will provide the user with a guaranteed graphics memory at all times, and will no longer be available to the OS. DVMT is an enhancement of the UMA concept, where in the graphics driver allocates memory as needed for running graphics applications. If a user is not performing any graphics-intensive operations, most of the DVMT memory can be utilized by the OS for other uses. We recommend using DVMT setting for better overall system performance. ► DVMT/FIXED Memory Select graphics memory size for Fixed or DVMT usage.

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is an open industry standard interfaces enabling OS-directed configuration, power management, and thermal management of mobile, desktop, and server platforms. It defines five sleeping states, they are : S1 - The S1 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. In this state, no system context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context. (also called Power On Suspend) S2 - The S2 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. This state is similar to the S1 sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is lost (the OS is responsible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event. S3 - The S3 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state where all system context is lost except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state. Hardware maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 configuration context. Control starts from the processor’s reset vector after the wake event. (also called Suspend to RAM) S4 - The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake latency sleeping state supported by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware platform has powered off all devices. Platform context is maintained. (also called Suspend to Disk) S5 - The S5 state is similar to the S4 state except that the OS does not save any context. The system is in the “soft” off state and requires a complete boot when it wakes. Software uses a different state value to distinguish between the S5 state and the S4 state to allow for initial boot operations within the BIOS to distinguish whether or not the boot is going to wake from a saved memory image.
