This section will explain how to change your motherboards function through the use of the jumper. Clear CMOS Jumper: JBAT1 There is a CMOS RAM on board that has a power supply from external battery to keep the data of system configuration. With the CMOS RAM, the system can automatically boot OS every time it is turned on. That battery has long life time for at least 5 years. If you want to clear the system configuration, use the JBAT1 (Clear CMOS Jumper ) to clear data. Follow the instructions below to clear the data: 1 3 Keep CMOS 1 3 Clear CMOS 1 3 JBAT1 WARNING! You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard. 2-23 Chapter 2 Slots The motherboard provides six 32-bit Master PCI bus slots, one AGP slot and one CNR slot. AGP Slot PCI Slots CNR Slot AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Slot The AGP slot allows you to insert the AGP graphics card. AGP is an interface specification designed for the throughput demands of 3D graphics. It introduces a 66MHz, 32-bit channel for the graphics controller to directly access main memory and provides three levels of throughputs: 1x (266Mbps), 2x (533Mbps) and 4x (1.07Gbps). Please note that the AGP slot does not support 3.3V AGP card. Use of 3. 3V AGP card may cause damages to the mainboard. To avoid the risk of causing permanent damages to the mainboard, the AGP slot is protected with MSI electrical routing device. If users have inserted a 3.3V AGP card into the slot, the MSI routing device will disable the computers boot-up system. Remove the 3.3V AGP card and the boot-up system will return to normal. 2-24 Hardware Setup Attention! DO NOT use the following AGP cards which would result in failure to restart the system. The following list is subject to change without prior notice.
