External Peripherals Connections
External devices such as the keyboard, printer, PS/2 mouse,
modem, USB can be connected to the Motherboard. Normally, you
can not plug your devices directly onto the Motherboard, except for
the keyboard that plugs directly into the back panel KB connector.
For other parallel (PRT1) and serial devices (COM1, COM2), first
install the external connectors that come with your Motherboard on
the computer case, then plug the other end of the flat cable to their
respective connectors.
Only after you have fixed and locked the Motherboard and external
connectors to the computer case can you start connecting the
external peripheral devices.
When connecting an external device, use the following figure to
locate and identify which back panel connector to plug the device or
flat cable to.

Warning: Follow these precautions to preserve your
Motherboard from any remnant currents when connecting
to ATX power supply:
Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord
of the ATX power supply before connecting to ATX PW
connector.
The Motherboard requires a power supply with at least 200 Watts
and a "power good" signal. Make sure the ATX power supply can
take at least 100 mA load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet
the standard ATX specification.
* Note: If you use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function, make sure
the ATX power supply can support at least 720 mA on the 5V
Standby lead (5VSB).
Please install the ATX power according to the following pin
assignment:

Based on the setting you have made in the [Security Option] of the [BIOS
FEATURES SETUP] section, the password prevents access to the system
or the setup program by unauthorized users. Follow this procedure to set a
new password or disable the password:
1. Choose [BIOS FEATURES SETUP] in the Main Menu and
press [Enter]. Select the [Security Options] item and set the
field to:
a. [System]: The password is required every time the system
is booted. This means only a person who knows the
password can use this computer.
b. [Setup]: The password is required only when you attempt
to enter the BIOS Setup program.
2. Choose [SUPERVISOR PASSWORD] from the Main Menu
and press
Warning: If you forget or lose the password, the only way
to access the system is to set jumper JP5 to clear the
CMOS RAM. All setup information is lost and you must run
the BIOS setup program again.
Note: If you do not wish to use the password function,
press [Enter] directly and the following message appears:

Chapter 4
DRIVERS INSTALLATION
Your SY-5EHM/5EH5 V1.3 Motherboard comes with a CD-ROM labeled
"SOYO CD." The SOYO CD contains (1) the user's manual file for your
new Motherboard, (2) the drivers software available for installation, and (3)
a database in HTML format with information on SOYO Motherboards and
other products.
Step 1. Insert the SOYO CD into the CD-ROM drive
The SOYO CD will auto-run, and the SOYO CD Start Up Menu will be as
shown. If you use Windows NT, the SOYO-CD will not detect your
motherboard type. In that case the following dialog will pop up, please
choose your motherboard and press OK. Now the SOYO-CD Start Up Menu
will be shown.

Drivers Installation
SY-5EHM/5EH5 V1.3
The user's manual files included on the SOYO CD are in PDF (Postscript
Document) format. In order to read a PDF file, the appropriate Acrobat
Reader software must be installed in your system.
Note: The Start Up program automatically detects if the Acrobat Reader
utility is already present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on
whether or not you want to install it. You must install the Acrobat Reader
utility to be able to read the user's manual file. Follow the instructions on
your screen during installation, then once the installation is completed,
restart your system and re-run the SOYO CD.
Step 2. Install Drivers and Utilities
The following describes the best way of installing Windows 95/98/ME on your
5EHM/5EH5 V1.3 Motherboard:
The following BIOS default settings should not be changed:
1. The ‘OnChip USB Controller’ item under ‘Chipset features Setup’ is set to enabled.
2. The ‘USB Assigned IRQ’ item under ‘PnP/PCI Configuration is set to enabled.
You MUST have these two items enabled for Windows 95/98 to run properly on

your system.
Install Windows 95/98
If you installed Windows 95 you will now need to upgrade your USB driver
by running the following program on your Windows CD:
Win95/OSR2/Usbsupp/USBsupp.exe
After installation of windows, you will need to install the ETEQ drivers.
Follow the instruction below.
SY-5EHM/5EH5 V1.3
Click the Enter Install the drivers button to display the list of drivers that
can be installed on your Motherboard. The start-up program displays the
drivers available for the 5EHM/5EH5 V1.3 and the Windows version you
use. Click the Install drivers button to display the list of drivers that can be
installed on your Motherboard. The start-up program displays the drivers
available for the 5EHM/5EH5 V1.3.

ETEQ 4in1 driver package
The 4 in 1 driver package includes all drivers your motherboard needs. After
selecting this driver package, one driver will be installed automatically (the
IRQ remapping utility), the other three are installed if selected. By default
all three drivers are selected. A description of the 4 drivers follows:

Drivers Installation
Bus Master PCI IDE Driver
SY-5EHM/5EH5 V1.3
This driver will speed up the data-transfer rate to and from the
harddisk.
AGP VxD Driver
This driver must be installed in order to be able to make use of the
on-board AGP Video functionality.
ETEQ Chipset Functions Registry
This driver will make the necessary changes to the Windows
registry, in order to make sure that Windows has no problems
recognizing your ETEQ chipset.
IRQ remapping utility (This driver is installed automatically)
This utility will remap the IRQ lines to make sure that everything
functions properly under Windows.
Select which driver you want to install and click
OK,
or click
Cancel
to
return to the main menu. When the installation program of a driver starts
running the SOYO-CD will exit.
Note: When the installation is complete, most drivers require to restart
your system before they can become active.
Step 3. Check the Latest Releases
Click the 'Check the latest Releases' button to go the SOYO Website to
automatically find the latest BIOS, manual and driver releases for your
motherboard. This button will only work if your computer is connected to
the internet through a network or modem connection. Make sure to get
your modem connection up before clicking this button.
