SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation Step 6. CPU Frequency Settings: JP6, JP7, CJ1 and CJ2 Your FC-PGA 133/100/66 MHz FSB CPU has a pin JP6, JP7 to tell it what FSB frequency the CPU requires; If these two jumpers are shorted the motherboard will automatically run at the frequency the CPU was specified to run at. However, the FSB Frequency can also be set through jumpers CJ1 and CJ2 and it may therefore differ from the Frequency the CPU specifies. If CJ1 and CJ2 are to be used, JP6 & JP7 must be open.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 2-3.5 Voice Doctor If the system does not boot-up properly, the Voice Doctor will inform the user by voice through internal/external speaker at what point in boot-up sequence the problem arises. Below are the possible errors the user may encounter: 1. The Processor might be damage or not installed properly 2. The memory module might be damage or not installed properly 3. No Keyboard connected 4. VGA card might be damage or not inserted properly 5.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 2-3.7 Power On You have now completed the hardware installation of your Motherboard successfully. 1. Turn the power on 2. To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press the key while the system is performing the diagnostic checks, Note: If you have failed to enter the BIOS, wait until the boot up sequence is completed. Then push the RESET button and press key again at the beginning of boot-up, during diagnostic checks.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 2-3.8 Quick BIOS Setup This Motherboard does not require any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable through the BIOS [CPU HOST / PCI Clock / PC133]. The [CPU HOST / PCI Clock / PC133] combines the main parameters that you need to configure your system. They are all in one menu to enable a quick setup in BIOS.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation Step 1. Select [STANDARD CMOS SETUP] 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 / PC133] field to set the CPU frequency.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 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.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 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-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 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.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 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: http://www.soyo.
SY-7ISA+ Hardware Installation 2-3.10Power 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.
