Check again.  The switch settings are in the HS stack.  Here's something 
I keep on hand:

I typed up this file about the Zip GS DIP switch settings to answer a user's
question.  I'm posting it in case anyone else needs this info.  If this is
already in the Zip FAQ, excellent!  If it's not, it should be.

Yeah, I noticed that too about the new manuals.  But, luckily I have an old
manual in my files!  :)
 
There are two DIP switches, numbered SW1 & SW2 (left to right when looking
at the left edge, the edge nearest the keyboard)  These are their functions
and their defaults.  Note that whether a switch is ON or OFF doesn't
necessarily correspond to whether that option is the default or not.
 
SW1/1: Cxxx/Dxxx cache disable.  Default is ON, option disabled.
SW1/2: Joystick Delay.  Default is OFF, option enabled.
SW1/3: AppleTalk Delay.  Default is ON, option disable.
SW1/4: Counter Delay.  Default is OFF, option enabled.
SW1/5: CPS (Control Panel Settings) Follow. Default is OFF, option enabled.
SW1/6: Disable.  Default is ON, option disabled.
SW1/7-8: Cache size.  Set as follows:   Cache size:    SW1/7:    SW1/8:
                                            8K          ON        ON
                                           16K          ON        OFF
                                           32K          OFF       ON
                                           64K          OFF       OFF
 
SW2/1-7:  Slot Delay.  ON means delay disabled, OFF means delay enabled.
          Only slots 2 & 6 default to OFF, delay enabled.  Switch 1
          corresponds to slot 1, switch 2 to slot 2, etc.
SW2/8: Speaker Delay.  Default is OFF, option enabled.
 
Whew!  :)
