3 Quick BIOS Setup

This Motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. The [SOYO COMBO SETUP] menu combines the main CPU parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS.

After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the <DEL> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS SETUP UTILITY will display on screen. Then, follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.

Step 1. Select [LOAD SETUP DEFAULT]

Select the “LOAD SETUP DEFAULT”menu and type “Y”at the prompt to load the BIOS optimal setup.

Step 2. Select [STANDARD CMOS SETUP]

Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to “Auto”.

Step 3. Select [SOYO COMBO SETUP]

Move the cursor to the [CPU Speed] field to set the CPU working speed.

Available [CPU Speed] settings on your SY-6IZM/3 Motherboard are detailed in the following table. If you set this field to [Manual], you are then required to fill in the next two consecutive fields: (1) the CPU Ratio, and (2) the CPU Frequency.

Select the working frequency of your Pentium® III, Pentium® II, Celeron™ processor among these preset values.

Note: Mark the checkbox that corresponds to the working frequency of your Pentium® III, Pentium® II, Celeron™ processor in case the CMOS configuration should be lost.

Note: if you use Bus Frequencies of 75 MHz, make sure that your PCI cards can cope with the higher PCI clock.

Step 4. Select [SAVE & EXIT SETUP]

Press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.
