USER'S MANUAL
1. System power on by PS/2 Mouse: First, enable this function
in CMOS Setup, then you can power on the system by double
clicking the right or left button of your PS/2 Mouse.
2. System power on by Keyboard: If your ATX power supply
supports larger than 100~300 mA 5V Stand-By current
(dependent on the specification of keyboards), you can
power on your system by entering password from the
keyboard after setting the “Keyboard power on” password in
CMOS Setup.
3. Supports 3 steps ACPI LED.
4. Modem Ring-On. (COM A , B).
5. Wake-Up on LAN. (on JP7) (The ATX power supply supports
larger than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current)
*
System/Power Fan, Clear CMOS, Internal Ring Pwr on and
Power connector function only for PCB Rev:1.9 use, please
reference page 10, 16~18.

CPU SPEED SETUP
The system bus speed is selectable between 66 / 100 MHz. The user can select
the system bus speed (SW1) and change the DIP SWITCH (SW2) selection to
set up the CPU speed for 233 - 633MHz processor.
Set System Bus Speed
SW1:
CPU AGP 1 2 3 4
100 MHz
66 MHz OFF OFF OFF OFF
133 MHz
89 MHz OFF OFF ON OFF
112 MHz
75 MHz OFF ON OFF OFF
66 MHz 66 MHz ON OFF OFF ON
75 MHz 75 MHz ON ON OFF ON
83 MHz 83 MHz ON OFF ON ON
The CPU speed MUST match with the frequency RATIO. It will cause
system hanging up if the frequency RATIO is higher than that of CPU.
SW2:
CLK RATIO 1 2 3 4
X3 ON OFF ON ON
X3.5 OFF OFF ON ON
X4 ON ON OFF ON
X4.5 OFF ON OFF ON
X5 ON OFF OFF ON

X6 ON ON ON OFF
X6.5 OFF ON ON OFF
«
Note: We don’ t recommend you to setup your system speed to 75, 83,
112 or 133MHz because these frequencies are not the standard
specifications for CPU, Chipset and most of the peripherals.
Whether your system can run under 75, 83, 112 or 133MHz
properly will depend on your hardware configurations: CPU,
SDRAM, Cards, etc.
