1.2.8 Jumper
1. LN2 Mode jumper (3-pin LN2_MODE)
With LN2 mode activated, the ROG motherboard is optimized to remedy the cold-boot
bug during POST and help the system boot successfully.
2. DRAM channel jumper (3-pin DRAM_CHA; DRAM_CHB)
This jumper is used to disable the memory channels (channel A or channel B). Setting
the DRAM_CHA jumper to pins 2-3 disables DRAM_A1 and DRAM_B1, whereas
setting the DRAM_CHB jumper to pins 2-3 disables DRAM_A2 and DRAM_B2
