6) Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MD)

Usually socket 370 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 socket 370 processors, exceeding the
specified multiple is possible through BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified mul-
tiple may result in hanging during bootup. If this occurs, enable Safe Mode to
force a multiple of 2 in order to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.

7) Automatic Timeout Reboot Setting (NO_REBOOT)

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” so that auto-reboot will be disabled.
