CPU Clock Ratio:
Use this item to select a multiplier for the system
frontside bus (FSB) frequency. The value of the multiplier must be
set so that:
Multiplier x Front Side Bus Frequency = CPU Clock Speed
For example, if you have a processor that is rated to run at 450 MHz
and the system is running a front side bus frequency of 100 MHz,
you should select a multiplier of 4.5 so that:
4.5 (Multiplier) x 100 MHz (front side bus) = 450 MHz (CPU clock)
After you have made your selections in the Frequency/Voltage Co n-
trol Setup, press the <ESC> key to go back to the main program
screen.

Load Optimized Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults
for all appropriate items in the whole Setup Utility. Press the <Y>
key and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press the <N> key and
then <Enter> to not install the defaults. The optimized defaults place
demands on the system that may be greater than the performance
level of the components, such as the CPU and the memory. You can
cause fatal errors or instability if you install the optimized defaults
when your hardware does not support them. If you only want to in-
stall setup defaults for a specific option, select and display that
option, and then press the <F7> key.

Set Supervisor/User Password
The “ Set Supervisor/User Password” utilities set the passwords. The
mainboard is shipped with the password disabled. If you want to
change the password, you must first enter the current password, then
at the prompt enter your new password. The password is case sensi-
tive. You can use up to eight alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter>
after entering the password. At the next prompt, confirm the new
password by retyping it and pressing <Enter> again.
