Installation

To avoid damage to your Mainboard, follow these simple rules while handling
this equipment:

Before handling the Mainboard, ground yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of
the system's metal chassis.

Remove the Mainboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold it by the edges and avoid
touching its components.

Check the Mainboard for damage. If any chip appears loose, press carefully to seat it
firmly in its socket.

™ Mainboard.

SY-5EMA+ Super

Step 1. Install the CPU

To mount the Pentium® class processor that you have purchased separately, follow these
instructions.

CPU Mount Procedure

1 2

1. Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.

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.

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 Mainboard. The fan is a key component that will ensure

system stability. The fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of
your CPU.

SOYO CD contains the user's manual file for your new Mainboard, the drivers software
available for installation, and a database in HTML format with information on SOYO
Mainboards 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 display as shown below.

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 3. Installation procedure for Windows 95/98

The following describes the best way of installing Windows 95 or Windows 98 on your 5EMA+
mainboard:

Ø The following BIOS default settings should not be changed:

1. The ‘USB Controller’ item under ‘Chipset features’ 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.

Ø Install Windows 95/98
Ø After installation of windows, you will need to install the ETEQ drivers. Follow the instruction

below.

The SOYO CD

Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers that can be installed on your mainboard.
The start-up program displays the drivers available for the 5EMA+ and the Windows version you use.
For Windows 95 four drivers will be listed (see ‘Driver Installation Menu’ below), for Windows 98 three
drivers will be listed (the ACPI drivers will be left out). We recommend you to install all drivers, and to
do so in the right sequence (top to bottom).

If you want to see all the drivers available on the SOYO –CD, click the Display all drivers on the
SOYO CD button. Do NOT install drivers that are not suitable for you board, otherwise your system
may crash.

(Driver Installation Menu)

Select which driver you want to install and click
menu. When the installation program of a driver starts running the SOYO-CD will exit. After
finishing the installation, restart the SOYO-CD and install the next driver.

Note:

Once you have selected a driver, the system will automatically exit the SOYO CD to
begin the driver installation program. When the installation is complete, most drivers require
to restart your system before they can become active.
