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.

Step 3. Configure Memory  
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 1.5GB of main  
memory using unbuffered and registered DIMM modules from 8MB to 512MB. On this  
motherboard, DRAM speed can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed.  
Depending on the DRAM clock speed setting in the BIOS setup, appropriate memory  
modules must be used. For 66MHz DRAM speed, use PC66 memory; for 100MHz DRAM  
speed, use PC100 memory; for 133MHz DRAM speed, use PC133 memory.

Quick BIOS Setup  
This Motherboard does not require any hardware jumpers to set the CPU operating  
frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable through the BIOS [SOYO  
COMBO Feature]. The [SOYO COMBO Feature] menu combines the main parameters that  
you need to configure your system. They are all in one menu to enable a quick setup in  
BIOS.  
After completion of hardware installation, turn the power switch on, then press the <DEL>  
key while the system diagnostic is checking to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The  
CMOS SETUP UTILITY will be displayed on screen. Then follow these steps to configure  
the CPU settings.  
Step 1. Select [Standard CMOS Features]  
Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to “Auto”.  
Step 2. Select [Load Optimized Defaults]  
Select the “Load Optimized Defaults” menu and type “Y” at the prompt to load the BIOS  
optimal setup.  
Step 3. Select [Soyo Combo Feature]  
Move the cursor to the [CPU Host/PCI Clock], select the Automatic, and move the cursor to  
the [CPU Ratio], field the your CPU Ratio.  
Step 4. Select [SAVE & EXIT SETUP]  
Press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue with the  
boot sequence.

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-7VMA-B 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.  
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.

SY-7VMA-B Quick Start Guide  
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 'VIA 4 in 1' 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 from my sound card is distorted when Windows starts. What is  
wrong?  
First, if you are using an ISA sound card, please make sure the IRQ needed for the  
sound card is set to 'Legacy ISA' in the bios. In other words, if your ISA sound card  
takes IRQ5, then set IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'. Next, install the 'VIA 4 in 1' driver for  
the motherboard.  
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 optimized 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.  
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:
