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.
