3) Safe Mode Setting (JP10)
Usually Slot 1 processors have locked frequency multiples. In this case, there is
no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard settings or
BIOS setup. With unlocked Slot 1 processors, exceeding the specified multiple is
possible through BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified multiple may result in hang-
ing during bootup. If this occurs, enable Safe Mode to force a multiple of 2 and
100MHz FSB to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.

4) Automatic Timeout Reboot Setting (JP12)
The motherboard is set so that when the BIOS detects a hang (timeout) during
bootup, the motherboard will automatically reboot. If rebooting is repeating in-
effectively, set this jumper to No Reboot to disable auto-reboot. However, if
Safe Mode Setting (JP10) is set to Safe Mode, setting Automatic Timeout
Reboot Setting (JP12) to No Reboot will bring the system to Safe Mode so you
may correct any problem.
