This is covered in the user's guide.  If you look at the second page of 
the BIOS setup screen (CTRL-ALT-ESC from the initial BIOS screen during
boot up), there is a setting for CPU speed.  When this is set to FAST,
the TURBO button is disabled.  If you need to slow down the machine for
some application, you should change this setting in the BIOS.  You can 
then control the speed of the machine using the TURBO button.
