This motherboard supports 2 kinds of powerful and flexible SDRAM frequencyselections. These can be synchronous with CPU bus clock or fixed as 66MHz. Byimplementing the VCS (Virtual Clock Synchronization) technology, this motherboardrefers to the use of delay-lock-loop (DLL) to enable synchronous and pseudo-synchronous operation of the processor and DRAM, AGP and PCI buses. The JP5allows user to set the SDRAM Frequency between 66/100MHz.

JP5 SDRAM Clock Selection1-2 : Fixed as 66MHz2-3 : SDRAM Clock = CPU Bus Clcok
Jumper's position:1-2 : Pseudo-synchronous Status(Fixed as 66MHz)A more stable and compatible operation condition for non-100MHz based SDRAMwhen you are using 100MHz based CPU. This setting is suitable for those users whoare like to remain the usage of current SDRAM module.
2-3 : Synchronous Status(SDRAM Clock= CPU Bus Clock)Increasing the bus speeds from the traditional 66MHz to 100MHz greatly improvessystem performance because the speed at which data traveling between the CPU andmemory is increased by 50%. However, there is one thing you should bear in mind.Please make sure you are using 125MHz(-8) based or above SDRAM module.

2-5 External Modem Ring-in Power ON and Keyboard Power ONFunctions
On the basis of bounded functions in I/O chipset, the two serial ports are able tosupport the External Modem Ring-in Power ON function. Once users connect theexternal modem to COM1 or COM2, this motherboard allows users to turnon their system through the remote and host's dial-up control.
Exclusive Keyboard Power ON Function
To innovate a unique feature to benefit users, we devoted ourselves to create theeasiest and most convenient way to turn on your system based on the ATXpower supply. This function is available only under system being connected toATX power supply.
How to work with it
Step 1: Please place JP4 at the position 2-3 after you finished the system installation.
Step 2 : Push the momentary switch to turn on your system and then push again to hold for more than 4 seconds to turn it off as soon as you turn it on.
Step 3: You can enjoy the Keyboard Power ON function by pressing any 1 or 2 keys on you keyboard at the same time for 1-2 seconds. Your system will be turned on automatically, after releasing the keys. To power off you system, you can use the Soft-OFF function under Windows 95.
Notes: 1. The number of keys needed to turn on a system depends on the model of keyboard you are applying due to different loadings on different keyboards. Here, we would like to suggest you push 2 keys at the same time..
2. Intel ATX version 2.0 specification has recommended you use the powersupply with 0.72A(720mA). With our EP-51MVP3E-M motherboard,
the 5.0VSB standby power only has to be > = 0.1A (100mA) then you can enjoy this unique benefit. However, the ATX power supply which is < 0.1 (100mA) is still applicable to your system by placed JP4 at the position 1-2 to disable this feature.
