Step 5. Set JP3 for power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock.
JP3 is used to adjust AGP bus clock frequency depending on the value of the front side bus (FSB) clock, also the setting of the JP3 determines the power up FSB clock which will remain effective until the BIOS set the FSB clock to the CMOS setting.
JP3 Setting
Power up FSB Clock 66MHz 100MHz
AGP Clock
AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1 AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1.5
Note1: The factory default setting for JP3 (Power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock) is
100MHz. CPUs that run on 66MHz may not boot at this frequency, so check JP3 before booting for the first time. Also, if the user changes the CPU, care should be taken to set JP3 in accordance with the FSB Frequency of the new CPU.
Note2: The specification of maximum AGP bus Clock frequency is 66.6MHz.
∗
Set JP3 to pin 1-2 short when you use a FSB 100MHz CPU.
∗
Set JP3 to pin 2-3 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.
∗
Set JP3 to pin 1-2 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU but want to over clock the FSB clock to 100MHz via the BIOS setting.
Step 6. Set the CPU Working Frequency
You do not need to set any jumper for the CPU Working frequency. Instead, CPU settings are changed through the BIOS
[SOYO COMBO SETUP].
Please refer to Chapter 3 - Quick
BIOS Setup for details on how to set the Slot 1 processor frequency. For the power-up FSB
and AGP clock frequencies, please refer to
Step 5
.
Step 7. Power Button Enable (JP8)
Your system can be power on by either pressing a power button or typing in a password, which can be set in the BIOS SOYO COMBO Setup. To avoid being unable to power up the system due to of forgetting the password, you can place a jumper cap to short JP8. This will always enable the Power Button.

Step 8. External Suspend Button (JP10)
Some cases come with a suspend button, insert the plug into JP10. In addition to through this button, the system can also enter the suspend mode through your OS.
Note: Suspend mode only functions if your Power Management mode is APM. Make sure that the BIOS setting for Power Management is APM. Windows 98 can be installed with ACPI Power Management (default is APM), in this case suspend mode will not function either.
Step 9. Back Panel Connector
Step 10. Clear CMOS Data (JP5)
Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5 for at least 5 seconds, and then by shorting pin 1-2 to retain new settings. This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap.
