Quick BIOS Setup
This Motherboard does not require any hardware jumpers to set the CPU operating
frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable through the BIOS
[Soyo Combo
Feature].
The [Soyo Combo Feature] menu combines the main parameters that you need
to configure your system. They are all in one menu to enable a quick setup in BIOS.
After completion of hardware installation, turn the power switch on, then press the
<DEL>
key while
the system diagnostic is checking to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS SETUP
UTILITY will be displayed on screen. Then follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.
Step 1. Select [Standard CMOS Features]
Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to Auto.
Step 2. Select [Load Optimized Defaults]
Select the Load Optimized Defaults menu and type Y at the prompt to load the BIOS
optimal setup.
Step 3. Select [Soyo Combo Feature]
Move the cursor to the
[CPU Frequency]
field to set the CPU frequency.
The following table shows all available [CPU Frequency] settings on your SY-7VCM
Motherboard . If you set this field to [Manual], you will be required to fill in the next two
consecutive fields: (1) the CPU Host/PCI Clock, and (2) the CPU Ratio.
CPU Frequency (MHz) 633MHz (66 x 9.5) 800MHz (100 x 8.0)
Manual 667MHz (66 x 10.0) 850MHz (100 x 8.5)
400MHz (66 x 6.0) 700MHz (66 x 10.5) 600MHz (133 x 4.5)
433MHz (66 x 6.5) 500MHz (100 x 5.0) 666MHz (133 x 5.0)
