6BXC 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. System power on by Keyboard: If your ATX power supply supports larger than 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. Supports 3 steps ACPI LED. Modem Ring-On. (COM A , B). Wake-Up on LAN. (on JP7) (The ATX power supply supports larger than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current) 2. 3. 4. 5.

Quick Installation Guide : 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 100 MHz 133 MHz 112 MHz 66 MHz 75 MHz 83 MHz AGP 66 MHz 89 MHz 75 MHz 66 MHz 75 MHz 83 MHz 1 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON 2 OFF OFF ON OFF ON OFF 3 OFF ON OFF OFF OFF ON 4 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON The CPU speed MUST match with the frequency RATIO.
