Note on Over-clocking Capability

The SY-6VZA Motherboard provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking

setting your system may fail to boot up or hang during run time. If this occurs, please perform
the following steps to recover your system from the abnormal situation:

1. Turn off system power. (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your

system, you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut
down the system.)

2. Set JP45 to pin 2-3 if you use a FSB 66MHz CPU

3. Press and hold down the key while turning on the system power. Keep

holding down the key until you see the message of the CPU type and your
CPU frequency (66MHz x CPU Multiplier) appear on screen.

4. Press the ~~key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS~~

Setup program.

5. From the BIOS main menu, select [SOYO COMBO SETUP] and move the cursor to

the [CPU Frequency] field to set the proper working frequency.

6. Select [Save & Exit SETUP] and press to save the configuration to the

CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

Note: SOYO does not guarantee system stability if the user over clocks the system.

Any malfunctions due to over-clocking are not covered by the warranty.
