Quick BIOS Setup
This mainboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead,
CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS
[SOYO COMBO SETUP]. The
[SOYO COMBO SETUP] menu combines the main CPU parameters that you need to
configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS.
After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the
<DEL> key
during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS
SETUP UTILITY will display on screen. Then, follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.
Step 1.
Select [LOAD SETUP DEFAULT]
Select the “LOAD SETUP DEFAULT” menu and type “Y” at the prompt to load the BIOS
optimal setup.
Step 2.
