The internal peripherals consist of IDE devices (HDD, CD-ROM), Floppy Disk Drive, Chassis Fan, Front Panel Devices (Internal Speaker, Reset Button, and IDE LED Switch.), Wake-On-LAN card, VGA card, Sound Card, and other devices.
SY-P4VDA Quick Start Guide B. ATX Power Supply Hardware Installation This M/B can support ATX Power supply version 2.03 (with 12V power connector) and olderATX power supply. The ATX12V power supply includes a 20-pin ATX connector that complies with the ATX specification, Version 2.03 for M/B specification, a new 4-pin receptacle/header combination--the +12V power connector--has been defined.
SY-P4VDA Quick Start Guide Please install the ATX power according to the following pin assignment: ATX Power 12V 5VSB PW-OK GND 5V GND 5V GND 3.3V 5V 5V -5V Hardware Installation Pay special care to the directionality. GND GND GND PS-ON GND -12V 3.3V 3.
SY-P4VDA Quick Start Guide C. CMOS Clear (JP5) Hardware Installation In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear the CMOS memory. 1. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap. 2. Then put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the CMOS memory.
SY-P4VDA Quick Start Guide 3 Quick BIOS Setup This Motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO FEATURE]. The [SOYO COMBO FEATURE] combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS. After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program.
SY-P4VDA Quick Start Guide 4 The SOYO CD The SOYO-CD will NOT autorun if you use it on an Operating System other than Windows 95/98/98SE/ME.
