SY-6IZM/3Quick Start Guide

Step 5. Set the CPU Frequency

You do not need to set any jumper for the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Please refer to Chapter 3 - Quick BIOS Setup for details on how to set the Slot 1 processor frequency.

Step 6. Enable/Disable Power-On by PS/2 Keyboard (JP1)

You can choose to enable the Power-On by PS/2 Keyboard function by shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP1, otherwise, short pin 1-2 to disable this function.

Important: When using the Power-On by PS/2 Keyboard function, please make sure the ATX power supply can take at least 720mA load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard ATX specifications.

Step 7. Power Button Enable (JP8)

Your system can be power on by either pressing a power button or typing in a password, which can be set in the BIOS SOYO COMBO Setup. To avoid being unable to power up the system due to of forgetting the password, you can place a jumper cap to short JP8. This will always enable the Power Button.

Some cases come with a suspend button, insert the plug into JP10. In addition to through this button, the system can also enter the suspend mode through your OS.

Note: Suspend mode only functions if your Power Management mode is APM. Make sure that the BIOS setting for Power Management is APM. Windows 98 can be installed with ACPI Power Management (default is APM), in this case suspend mode will not function either.
