Jumpers
CMOS Clear Jumper (JBAT1)
| Jumper | Pins | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JBAT1 | 1-2 2-3 | Normal/Save CMOS settings Clear CMOS settings |
Caution : When clearing the CMOS settings, the power cord must be unplugged (since the standby power for the PIIX4E chipset comes from the power supply) and let the system rest for five seconds for the power to clear before returning the jumper to the Normal position.
Onboard VGA Jumper (JVGA1)
| Jumper | Pins | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JVGA1 | 1-2 | Enable onboard VGA Disable onboard VGA |
CPU Bus Frequency Selection Jumper (JK1)
| Jumper | Pins | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JP1 | Closed Open | Automatically detect 66MHz and 100MHz CPU Bus Frequency Virtually set 66MHz CPU Bus Frequency into 100MHz |
AGP Bus Frequency Selection Jumper (JK2)
| Jumper | Pins | Description |
|---|---|---|
| JK2 | Closed Open | 66MHz AGP Bus Frequency AGP Bus Frequency same as CPU Bus Frequency |
Issues
After Upgrading BIOS With 1020.EXE There Is No Video
The BIOS file 1020.exe is incorrect. 1021.exe must be used. Download 1021.exe and allow the files to extract to the floppy (this should be done on a Windows 98 system). Insert the diskette with the BIOS file into the floppy drive, and restart the computer. The BIOS flash will occur automatically. A loud beep or series of beeps will indicate when it is finished. The beeps are separate from the first few beeps as the unit is turned on. These will occur about 2 minutes later. Restart the computer, and video will return.
