6) Safe Mode (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.

Setting SAFE_MD

Disable [1-2] (default)

Enable [2-3]

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 in order to try rebooting again.

If rebooting is repeating ineffectively, set this jumper to “No Reboot” so that

auto-reboot will be disabled.

Setting NO_REBOOT

Normal [1-2] (default)

No Reboot [2-3]
