Step 4.

Set JP2, JP3,JP4 and JP7 to configure CPU FSB Frequency

The FSB Frequency can be set through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. The BIOS will allow selection from 1 out of 3 intervals. The intervals are: - 66 to 100MHz

- 100 to 133MHz

- 133Mhz and above

What interval can be selected from depends on the jumper setting on the board.

Ø CPU Default or Free Selection

Ø CPU frequency indication

Your INTEL CPU has pins that tell the motherboard what frequency it is supposed to run at.

If your CPU is a 66Mhz or a 100Mhz type, it will use pin B21 to indicate this. If it is high, the

CPU is 66MHz type, if it is low, the CPU is a 100MHz type. If you have a 133MHz CPU, it will use an additional pin (A14) to tell the motherboard. If pin A14 is low, the CPU is a 133MHz type. For 66 and 100MHz CPUs this pin is high.

The signals of these two pins are connected to the clock generator of the board through JP3 and JP7. If both jumpers are closed, the clock generator will run the CPU at the default frequency. (Note that both JP2 and JP4 should be open)

The frequency interval that is shown in the BIOS is related to this frequency as follows:

66MHz CPU

100MHz CPU

133MHz CPU

66 - 100MHz interval

100 - 133MHz interval

133 or above interval

The frequency interval in the BIOS will be the same as mentioned above.

 Summary (Default frequency)

The following table summarizes the above:

JP3 JP7 JP2 JP4

Frequency according to

CPU closed closed open open

1 2 3 1 2 3

1 2 1 2

 Free Selection

If the user does not want the CPU to run at the specified (default) frequency, then JP3 and

JP7 will have to be set to open. Now the frequency can be set by the user through JP2 and 4 in the following way:

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.

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 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.

22


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 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: http://www.soyo.com
