SY-K7ADA Quick Start Guide 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-K7ADA 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 SETUP]. The [SOYO COMBO SETUP] combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS. Step 1. Select [STANDARD CMOS SETUP] Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to “Auto”. Step 2.

SY-K7ADA Quick Start Guide 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.
SY-K7ADA 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.
