Configuring Your System 21
Configuring the System Board
The system board contains five configuration switches that provide the
following:
❑ Switch 1: Normal mode and Clear CMOS mode.
❑ Switches 2 through 5: CPU Frequency multiplier.
Normal mode allows normal access to the BIOS Setup Utility. The Central
Processing Unit (CPU) input clock is forced to remain at 100 MHz (fast
mode), and the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) uses the User CMOS
settings (as opposed to the System CMOS settings). The CMOS and
NVRAM settings are only cleared if the checksum test returns false.
Access to specific setup fields is controlled by a supervisor password or
user password.
The Clear CMOS mode removes the password that is stored in CMOS. No
other parameters are cleared.

The configuration jumpers should never need changing unless otherwise directed by a
technical support or service technician.
