Reconfiguring the Motherboard
You can change the default configuration (as shipped) of
this motherboard as needed. However, since this
motherboard has only a few hard configuration options
and the CMOS Setup Utility is configuration is mostly
either required, recommended or automatic, there will
probably be little reason to do so.
Hardware Reconfiguration
We recommend leaving the jumper settings at the default
settings unless you need to perform the Clear CMOS pro-
cedure. It is much more convenient to control the BIOS
Flash Protection feature using the CMOS Setup Utility.
If you want to use a sound card instead of the onboard
audio, you should Disable the onboard audio.
You can also Disable the onboard LAN on the P4D-N if
the need arises, though you don’t need to do this to add
another LAN card to the system.
Firmware Reconfiguration
You can initially specify or customize the CMOS Setup
Utility settings when you first configure the system (as
covered in Chapter 5) to meet your requirements. Other
than doing this, there should be no need to reconfigure
the CMOS Setup Utility unless the system configuration
changes or the configuration record stored in CMOS
memory becomes corrupted and unusable, which is not
common. If you need to completely recreate the system
configuration record, follow the Clear CMOS procedure
described in this chapter.
