20 Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your E-3200 System

Setting the Jumpers

The J5G1 configuration jumper on the E-3200 system board lets you clear

passwords, set the processor/bus speed, and recover the BIOS. The table

below shows the settings required to perform those tasks, and the following

text provides step-by-step instructions for each mode.

Configure mode

The system board supports a range of processor speeds and two bus speeds.

If you upgrade your processor, you may need to change the speed settings.

Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.

Open the case, observing the “Static Electricity Precautions” on

page 2.

Remove the jumper that connects pins 1-2 and place it on pins 2-3.

Close the case, as described in Chapter 1.
