Step 3. Configure Memory
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets and two SIMM banks, providing support for up to 384MB of main memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 128MB and SIMM modules from 8MB to 64MB with no restriction on memory configuration. Therefore, you can install memory modules in any combination. For 66MHz front side bus CPUs use 12ns or faster memory.

Memory Configuration
MEMORY CONFIGURATION RAM Type Single RAM Module Size (MB) SIMM Bank Bank 0 EDO 8/16/32/64 DIMM 1 EDO/SDRAM DIMM Banks DIMM 2 EDO/SDRAM DIMM 3 EDO/SDRAM

8/16/32/64/128 8/16/32/64/128 8/16/32/64/128

Hardware Installation

Notice 1: You must always install two (2) SIMM modules to complete the SIMM bank. Notice 2: Do not install memory modules in SIMM and DIMM 3 at the same time.

Step 4.

Set the CPU Frequency

You do not need to set any jumper for the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU setting are changed through the BIOS [CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP]. Please refer to Chapter 3 - Quick BIOS Setup for details on how to set the Pentium II processor frequency.

Step 5.

Enable/Disable PS/2 Keyboard Wake-Up (JP12)

You can choose to enable the Wake-Up by PS/2 Keyboard or Mouse function by shorting pin 1-2 on jumper JP12, otherwise, remove the jumper cap to open pin 1-2 and disable this function. Support Wake-Up by Keyboard JP12 Setting

Enable Enable Wake-up by Keyboard or Mouse function (short pin 1-2)

Disable* (*Default) Disable Wake-up by Keyboard or Mouse function (open pin 1-2)

Important: When using the PS/2 Keyboard Wake-Up function, please make sure the ATX power supply can take at least 720mA load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard ATX specifications.

SY-6KL Quick Start Guide

Step 6. 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. CMOS Clearing JP5 Setting Clear CMOS Data Short pin 2-3 for at least 5 seconds to clear the CMOS.
