Installation
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, please follow these simple rules while
handling this equipment:
l
Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by touching on to an unpainted
portion of the system's metal chassis.
l
l
Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the motherboard by the
edges and avoid touching its components.
Check the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears to be loose, press carefully
to seat it firmly in its socket.
Follow the directions in this section which is designed to guide you through a quick and
correct method to install your new SY-K7VLM-B Motherboard. For detailed information,
please refer to the SY-K7VLM-B Motherboard User's guide and Technical Reference online

SY-K7VLM-B Quick Start Guide
Install the Motherboard
To perform the installation of your new SY-K7VLM-B Motherboard, follow the steps below:
Step 1.
FOC ( Fan-Off Control )
The newly designed SOYO “FOC” is based on the concept of total protection for CPU,
CPU Installation
which is very different from currently seen on the market. The H/W control function is used to
see a passive security system of monitoring and warning. “FOC”, designed by SOYO, gives
emphasis on the concept of total protection. S/W Simultaneous Signal Follow-ups techniques
and Auto Power Off System are included to prevent all possible damage caused by the MAL-
functioning of the CPU fan. With the help of “O/S On Time Monitoring And Warning” function,
provided by the H/W monitoring system, the double-protection purpose is achieved.
“FOC” includes the following functions:
(1) Simultaneous Signal Follow Ups: Before the system enters the O/S, H/W will detect the
signals of the CPU fan pins, get their revolution information and send it to the
BIOS.
(2) Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS gets the information of CPU fan revolution, it goes
on working normally. If not, it will inform the system and have the power supply
disconnected immediately. Thus, the CPU is protected from over heating.
Note: The following must be observed to secure the normal functioning of “Fan-Off Control”:
1. CPU fan with sensor pins must be used.
2. CPU fans approved by AMD are strongly recommended.
3. The “HOT KEY” function is provided for the CPU fans without sensor pins, to avoid
the power off. Users may press the “Insert” key to jump over the “Power Off” mode;
go to the BIOS and disable “FOC”. Now system can be booted normally.
4. The power connector of the CPU fan must be connected to the specified “CPU Fan
Connector” on the motherboard to secure the normal functioning of the system.
We provide the following User-Friendly protection features:
1.Fan-Off Control : The motherboard detects the status of the CPU fan and protects the
CPU by automatically disconnecting the power supply. The default value of this
function is Enable. After booting up, the user may disable it.
2.CPU Socket Sticker : Users will find a sticker on the CPU socket, which reminds
them of the correct usage of the K7 CPU.
3. Heat Dissipation Paste: Heat Dissipation Paste is included for all Socket-A
motherboards, to enhance the heat dissipation capability.
Furthermore, we strongly recommend our users to enable the function of H/W monitoring in the

BIOS. This function, together with the FOC, provide the total protection to the CPU and allow it
to maximize its performance.
Mark your CPU Frequency: Record the working frequency of your CPU that
should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.

have purchased separately, follow these instructions.

1. Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.
2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole edge on the socket.
3. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing.
4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place.
Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate power
connector on the Motherboard. The fan is a key component that stabilizes the
system. It prevents the equipment from overheating and prolongs the life of
your CPU.

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.
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).

SY-K7VLM-B Quick Start Guide
Modem issues
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 south bridge driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does
not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.
Audio Issues
I do not get any sound from my sound card. What could be wrong?
Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your sound card.
In Device Manager, I keep getting yellow exclamation signs on my sound port
even though I have installed my sound driver several times and I could not get
my sound card to work. What is wrong?
It is likely that you did not have the correct driver installed. If you are sure that the
correct sound driver has been installed, then please install the 'south bridge' driver
for the motherboard.
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-
ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card is not
connected or it is loose.
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and
microphone do not work. What is wrong?
This is because the recorder and microphone in the Windows are not enabled.
Please go to sound properties and enable them.
Lock up (freeze)
When I boot up my system, everything works fine. It sees my CPU and
memory, detects my hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM but locks up at
"Verify DMI pool data... ", and it won’ t go any further. What should I do?
Please clear the CMOS via JP5 then choose 'load setup default' in the bios and save
the bios and exit. Next, unplug all other add-on cards except the video card and
floppy drive controller, and see if it can boot from floppy. Then put back the
peripherals one by one to identify which one causes the lockup. If you are running a
Cyrix CPU, make sure the 'linear burst function' is enabled in the bios.
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:
