Award BIOS Setup Utility
Important:
The frequency ratio of some processors may have been
locked by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of
processor, setting an extended ratio for the processor will
have no effect. The system will instead use its factory
default ratio.
The frequency ratio of processors greater than 8x has been
locked by the manufacturer and will no longer have the
flexibility of using extended ratios. Therefore, the system will
use the processors factory default ratio.
If, in the Cyrix III Clock Ratio, CPU Host Clock or Intel CPU
Clock Ratio field, you selected an option other than the default
setting and is unable to boot up the system, there are 2 methods of
booting up the system and going back to its default setting.
Method 1:
Clear the CMOS data by setting JP7 to 2-3 On. All fields in the
BIOS Setup will automatically be set to their default settings.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and power button simultaneously, then
release the power button first. Keep-on pressing the <Insert> key
until the power-on screen appears. This will allow the system to boot
according to the FSB of the processor. Now press the <Del> key
to enter the main menu of the BIOS. Select CPU Frequency
Control and set the appropriate field to its default setting or an
appropriate bus clock or frequency ratio.
Note:
Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter)
keyboard for method 2.
When using a 66MHz FSB processor with PC-100 SDRAM
DIMM, the system memory clock is 3/2 of the CPUs
external bus clock and the PCI clock is 1/2 of the CPUs
external bus clock.
When using a 100MHz FSB processor with PC-100
SDRAM DIMM, the system memory clock is the same as
the CPUs external bus clock and the PCI clock is 1/3 of
the CPUs external bus clock.
When using a 133MHz FSB processor with PC-100
SDRAM DIMM, the system memory clock is 3/4 of the
