1.8 Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit.
Table 1.5: Watchdog timer output (JWDT1) Function Jumper Setting 1 NC 1 2 3 1-2 closed 2 3 2-3 closed * default setting Note! The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a low level signal. It will be held low until the watchdog timer is reset. 1.8.1.4 USB power switch (JUSB1, JUSB2) The ASMB-784 contains a jumper that can support on board USB ports power source from +5Vsb or +5V. The default setting is 1-2 closed which is supports USB stand-by power under S5.
1.8.1.5 CPU,SYSTEM fan PWM/DC mode selection(CPUFAN_SEL1, SYSFAN_SEL1) The ASMB-784 contains a jumper that can support PWM or DC mode, Normally this jumper should be set with pin 1-2 closed. If you want to change to DC mode, set CPUFAN_SEL1, SYSFAN_SEL1 to 2-3 closed for disable. Table 1.7: (CPUFAN_SEL1, SYSFAN_SEL1) Function Jumper Setting *PWM mode 1 DC mode 1 2 3 1-2 closed 2 3 2-3 closed Table 1.
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket.

When a system enters G3 status with deep S5 enabled, some power supply's 5VSB won't drop until after more than 30 seconds. If "Restore AC Power Loss" is set to "power on", the system won't boot up in 30 seconds after power failure. We recommend the user waits for more than 30 seconds to power on after a power failure. On the other hand, the system will auto power on if power is restored within 30 seconds, before 5VSB actually drops, even if "Restore AC Power Loss" is set to "power off". Figure 3.

Chapter 9 SATA RAID Setup 9
9.1 Introduction To support demanding disk I/O, Intel C226 chipset integrates six Serial ATA controllers with software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 capabilities. RAID 0 striping increases the storage performance and is designed to speed up data transfer rates for disk-intensive applications. RAID 1 mirroring protects valuable data that might be lost in the event of a hard drive failure. RAID 5 array contains three or more hard drives where the data is divided into manageable blocks called strips.
