1. Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard’s function settings

through the use of switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate

Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electric-

ity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do

not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a

metal object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or

connectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with

the component whenever the components are separated from the system.

Jumpers

1. Keyboard Power Up (KBPWR)

This allows you to disable or enable the keyboard power up function. Set to

Enable if you want to use your keyboard (by pressing <Spacebar>) to power up

your computer. This feature requires an ATX power supply that can supply at

least 300mA on the +5VSB lead. The default is set to Disable because not all

computers have the appropriate ATX power supply. Your computer will not func-

tion if you set this to Enable and if you do not have the right ATX power supply.
