ATX Power Supply: ATX PW  
Attach the ATX Power cable to this connector. (This motherboard requires an ATX power supply, an AT  
power supply can NOT be used.)  
When using the Power-On by PS/2 Keyboard function, please make sure the ATX power supply is able to  
provide at least 720mA on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) in order to meet the standard ATX specifications.  
Step 3. Configure Memory  
Supports PC2100/PC1600 DDR(Double Data Rate) SDRAM up to 3 DIMMs and using  
system memory up to 3GB. Supports symmetrical and asymmetrical DDR addressing.

suggest using DIMM1 and DIMM2 for PC2100 DDR module.  
Step 4. Multiplier Adjustment Setting (RJ1)  
Ô
For certain AMD CPUs, the multiplier is not locked such that setting a multiplier higher  
than specified on the CPU is possible. For technical details read the following:

Step 6. The synchronous / asynchronous clock mode between CPU  
and memory interface setting  
The FSB Frequency can also be set through DIP switch FJ1 or BIOS and it may therefore  
differ from the Frequency the CPU specifies. Doing so may however force your CPU to  
operate out of its specifications and therefore SOYO can not guarantee the proper  
functioning of your system.

In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear  
the CMOS memory.  
1.  
Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper  
can be easily identified by its white colored cap.  
2.  
Then put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the CMOS memory.

Quick Trouble shoot tips  
Video (no display) related issues  
I built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing happens when  
turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC speaker. What is happening  
and how can it be fixed?  
No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not work at all. It  
could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a component on the M/B is  
grounded (shorted) with the case. Also make sure to check the voltage setting  
switch (110V/220V) on the back of the power supply. To isolate the problem do  
the following:  
1. Press and hold down on the “Ins” (insert) key while turning on the computer  
until you get video. If you do not get video then,  
2. Double-check jumpers setting on you motherboard and remove all add-on  
cards, unplug all hard-disk and floppy-disk drive cables and see if you can hear  
some beeps. If you still do not get any beeps, then try putting the motherboard on  
the table (to isolate it from the case) with the CPU and speaker only, and give it one  
more try.  
I hear a series of beeps and I do not get anything from my monitor. What  
could be wrong?  
The following lists some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:  
·
One long beep and 3 very short beeps - The video card is not detected by  
the motherboard. Please re-seat your video card. If you are using an AGP  
card, please push your AGP card down real hard. You may have to push  
VERY hard without the AGP card mounting screw. Make sure not to  
insert the card the other way around.  
·
Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not seated  
correctly in its socket.  
My PCI VGA card works fine with my system, but when I put in a new AGP  
card, it does not give me any video. Is my AGP slot bad?  
This is a common problem with AGP video cards. The reason is that your AGP  
card did not get seated into the AGP slot fully and firmly. Please push your AGP  
card down into the socket real hard, it should snap twice. You may have to unscrew  
the AGP card to allow the card to go further down. Do take care not to damage the  
card by using too much force.

SY-K7ADA Quick Start Guide  
I get distorted video my AGP card right after I save my bios. Why is that?  
The cause is likely that your AGP card is not running at the correct bus speed. To  
fix this, please clear the CMOS via JP5 and if it still does not work, please upgrade  
your motherboard bios to the latest version.  
BIOS Issues  
Where can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?  
It will be displayed on the up-left corner on the screen during boot-up. It will show  
as your board type followed by the revision number, such as 5EH_2CA1 (meaning  
revision 2CA1 for the SY-5EH board) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+  
IV motherboard with 2AA2 bios.  
Where can I find the latest BIOS of my motherboard?  
Please go to the technical support page of one of the SOYO websites (Taiwan:  
www.soyo.com.tw), and look up your motherboard to find the latest BIOS  
revision.  
Hard disk, floppy drive, CD-ROM etc  
When I boot up my new computer I got "floppy boot failure" and the LED on  
the floppy stays on  
Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy drive side  
(don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector of the cable (don't  
use middle one).  
Modem issues  
I get an "I/O Conflict" message when I turn on my system and I can not get  
my modem to work  
What you need to do is to disable 'COM2' (or UART2 or serial port 2) in the bios  
under integrated peripheral setup.  
I have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get my  
modem to work. Why?  
If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you need to  
install the via 4 in 1 driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does not  
properly recognize relatively new chipsets.  
I can not get my board to run properly.  
Please make sure you have the latest bios and driver from the SOYO web site at:
