3) Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MODE)

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 (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 to disable auto-reboot. However, if
Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MODE) is set to Safe Mode, setting Automatic
Timeout Reboot Setting
(NO_REBOOT) to No Reboot will bring the system
to Safe Mode so you may be able to correct any problems.
