Step 10. CMOS Clear (JP5)

After you have turned off your computer, clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pins 2-3 on jumper JP5, for a few seconds. Then restore JP5 to the initial 1-2 jumper setting in order to recover and retain the default settings.

Jumper JP5 can be easily identified by its white colored cap.

Note on Over-clocking Capability

The SY-7IWB provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking setting your system may fail to boot up or hang during run time. Please perform the following steps to recover your system from the abnormal situation :

1.Turn off system power (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your system, you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut down the system.)

2.Set the J6 to open and set the JP2 pin 1-2 if you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.

3.Press and hold down the <Insert> key while turning on the system power. Keep holding down the <Insert> key until you see the message of the CPU type and frequency shown on the screen.

4.Press the <Del> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program.

5.Select [Soyo Combo Feature] and move the cursor to the [CPU Frequency] field to set the proper working frequency.

6.Select [Save & Exit SETUP] and press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

Note: SOYO does not guarantee system stability if the user over clocks the system. Any malfunctions due to over-clocking are not covered by the warranty.
