SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 2-3 INSTALLATION GUIDE We will now begin the installation of the Motherboard. Please follow the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct installation. Warning: Turn off the power to the Motherboard, system chassis, and peripheral devices before performing any work on the Motherboard or system.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 2-3.1 CPU Installation Your SY-K7VEMPRO motherboard comes with a CPU retention set kit. The retention set is used to hold the processor attached to the Socket 462 CPU connector on the motherboard. Mark your CPU Frequency: Record the working frequency of your CPU that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover. FSB 200MHz Athlon 750MHz (100 x 7.5) 950MHz (100 x 9.5) 1.3GHz (100 x13.0) 800MHz (100 x 8.0) 1000MHz (100 x 10.0) 850MHz (100 x 8.5) 1.1GHz (100 x 11.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole distinctive edge on the socket. 3. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place. Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate power connector on the Motherboard. The fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. The fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation CPU Fan Mount Procedure: To prevent scratch or damage on the motherboard, please follow these instruction on how to mount the CPU fan properly. 1. Apply thermal paste to the die of the CPU. 2.Carefully mount the fan on top of the CPU and clip-on the first lock. 1 3.Clip-on the second lock and please make sure not to damage/scratch the board.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 4. The fans power connector should be connected to CPUFAN1. CPUFAN1 DIMM1 1 DIMM2 3 Note: If the fan is defective or Power connector is not connected to CPUFAN1, the system will enable FOC function see below for more information on FOC function. FOC ( Fan-Off Control ) The newly designed SOYO “FOC” is based on the concept of total protection for CPU, which is very different from currently seen on the market.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation “FOC” includes the following functions: (1) Simultaneous Signal Follow Ups: Before the system enters the O/S, H/W will detect the signals of the CPU fan pins, get their revolution information and send it to the BIOS. (2) Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS gets the information of CPU fan revolution, it goes on working normally. If not, it will inform the system and have the power supply disconnected immediately. Thus, the CPU is protected from over heating.

SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 2-3.8 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 beep means 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-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 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 have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get my modem to work.
SY-K7VEMPRO Hardware Installation 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 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.
