1-7 CHIPSET  
ALi M1647 Overview  
The M1647 is a high performance, high value North Bridge that supports  
all Athlon family processors. Internally all 128-bit architecture with  
optimization for S2K bus, DDR and AGP4X interface, the M1647 has  
outstanding high system performance under all types of system operations.  
The M1647 North Bridge, coupled with one of ALi’s widely adopted PCI  
South Bridge devices (M1535D+) provides a flexible and scalable  
motherboard core logic solution to fill all applications.  
The M1647 supports all Athlon family microprocessors. Processor bus  
speeds of 66MHz to 133MHz are supported. This interface has 16 entries  
for outstanding processor commands and system probe commands. This  
interface supports FID change protocol for mobile purposes.  
The M1647 can support up to 3.0 GB of SDRAM or DDR-SDRAM main  
memory. Supports any combination of 66/100/133MHz memory bus  
frequency and CPU bus frequency with minimized internal protocol  
handshaking overhead, the M1647 provides a flexible system application.  
In addition to dynamic memory power down, the M1647 also supports a  
dynamic gated clock for the internal chipset logic circuitry, which will  
reduce the system power consumption for mobile applications. The m1647  
support the CAS-before-RAS refresh scheme and Self-refresh scheme  
during normal mod and suspend mode, respectively.  
The memory access controller plays a key role of dispatching the job to  
the memory interface. By using a two-level dynamic arbitration scheme,  
the M1647 fulfills multiple demanding sources that need access to the  
main memory with balanced latency and maximum throughput. Another  
important role of the memory access controller is the integration logic  
between the AGP interface and main memory to support the AGP memory  
address to physical memory address translate. To fulfill this function, the  
M1647 uses 128 entries and 16 tags to implement a one level GART  
(Graphic Address Re-mapping Table) scheme.  
The M1647 supports all features of the AGP version 2.0 specification. This

boosts the graphic benchmarks into another era for professional graphics  
usage. The M1647 design is capable of supporting 28 outstanding AGP  
commands (depth of command queue=28) and buffering 64QW for AGP  
master read operations.  
The M1647 is fully compliant with the PCI 2.2 specification. Flexible PCI  
latency control allows the M1647 to achieve improved system  
performance.  
The M1647 PCI host interface features a flexible PCI latency controller  
that allows a system to be tuned for the best system performance possible.  
The m1647 also features an enhanced PCI arbiter that implements a fair  
arbitration scheme based on a PCI and time slice mechanism. In addition  
to itself and the South Bridge, the M1647 can support up to six addition  
PCI masters. This gives designers the ultimate in flexibility when deciding  
what combination of PCI slots and on board PCI peripheral devices to use.  
One of these six PCI master channel can be assigned to a higher priority  
than other five PCI masters in order to fulfill the demands of some special  
real time devices, e.g. 1394 isochronous transmissions, when accessing  
main memory.  
Dark Green Power Management functions such as Power on Suspend,  
Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk, PCI bus CLKRUN and Dynamic  
Clock Stop are all supported. The M1647 provides the most flexible power  
management capability available in any chipset.

2-3.9 Troubleshooting at First Start  
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.

BIOS Setup Utility  
SY-K7ADA V1.0  
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.  
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 ALi 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  
43  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
BIOS Setup Utility  
SY-K7ADA V1.0  
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 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 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 'south bridge' 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 ALi JP5 then choose 'load fail-safe 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  
2-3.10 Power Off  
There are two possible ways to turn off the system:  
1. Use the Shutdown command in the Start Menu of Windows 95/98  
to turn off your computer.  
2. Press the mechanical power-button and hold down for over 4  
seconds, to shutdown the computer. If you press the power-button for  
less than 4 seconds, then your system will enter into Suspend Mode.  
You are now ready to configure your system with the BIOS setup program.

automatically detects which SOYO Motherboard you own and displays the  
corresponding model name.  
The user's manual files included on the SOYO CD are in PDF (Postscript  
Document) format. In order to read a PDF file, the appropriate Acrobat  
Reader software must be installed in your system.  
Note: The Start Up program automatically detects if the Acrobat Reader  
utility is already present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on  
whether or not you want to install it. You must install the Acrobat Reader  
utility to be able to read the user's manual file. Follow the instructions on  
your screen during installation, then once the installation is completed,  
restart your system and re-run the SOYO CD.
