CNR MR Card-CODEC OPTION (JP8) Hardware Installation CNR MR Card-CODEC OPTION JP8 Setting Primary Secondary open JP8 short JP8 1 2 1 2 Set JP9 for FWH Boot Block Write-Protect Setting this jumper to open will prevent the boot block area of the FWH (FirmWare Hub) chip from being written data into such that it is write-protected from unwanted or abnormal write activity. Step 7.
SY-7ISA Quick Start Guide Step 9. CPU Frequency Settings: JP6, JP7, CJ1 and CJ2 For certain Intel CPUs, the multiplier is not locked such that setting a multiplier higher than specified on the CPU is possible. For technical details read the following: 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 Quick Start Guide Debug LEDs The Debug LEDs give an indication of the status of the system during boot-up. If the system does not boot-up properly, use the table below to find out at what point in boot-up sequence the problem arises. A x means the LED is off, a L means the LED is lit.

SY-7ISA 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-7ISA 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.
SY-7ISA Quick Start Guide 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.
