Keyboard Hotkeys for Turbo button ?

What are the Keyboard Hotkeys to enable/disable “Turbo mode” on a Soyo motherboard ? The Motherboard has Turbo LED but no turbo switch. I am assuming it is enabled/disabled via the keyboard. Super Socket 7 Motherboard manual: http://www.motherboards.org/files/manuals/107/m5eh20.pdf
