Warning: Follow these precautions to preserve your
mainboard from any remnant currents when connecting to
ATX power supply:
Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord
of the ATX power supply before connecting to ATX PW
connector.
The mainboard requires a power supply with at least 200 Watts and
a "power good" signal. Make sure the ATX power supply can take at
least 10 mA mp* load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the
standard ATX specification.
* Note: If you use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function, make sure the
ATX power supply can support at least 720 mAmp on the 5V
Standby lead (5VSB).

to the system or the setup program by unauthorized users. Follow
this procedure to set a new password or disable the password:
1. Choose [BIOS FEATURES SETUP] in the Main Menu and
press [Enter]. Select the [Security Options] item and set the
field to:
a. [System]: The password is required every time the system
is booted. This means only a person who knows the

Step 2. Iinstallation procedure for Windows 95/98
The following describes the best way of installing Windows 95 or Windows 98 on your
5EHM/5EH5 mainboard:
Ø The following BIOS default settings should not be changed:
1. The ‘USB Controller’ item under ‘Chipset features’ is set to enabled.
2. The ‘USB Assigned IRQ’ item under ‘PnP/PCI Configuration is set to enabled.
You MUST have these two items enabled for Windows 95/98 to run properly on your
system.
Ø Install Windows 95/98
Ø After installation of windows, you will need to install the ETEQ drivers. Follow the
instruction below.
Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers that can be installed on your
mainboard. The start-up program displays the drivers available for the 5EHM/5EH5 and the
Windows version you use. For Windows 95 four drivers will be listed (see ‘Driver Installation
Menu’ below), for Windows 98 three drivers will be listed (the ACPI drivers will be left out).
We recommend you to install all drivers, and to do so in the right sequence (top to bottom).
If you want to see all the drivers available on the SOYO –CD, click the Display all driverson the SOYO CD button. Do NOT install drivers that are not suitable for you board,
otherwise your system may crash.
