Quick Start Guide

Install the Motherboard

Follow the steps below in order to perform the installation of your new
Motherboard.

Step 1. Install the CPU

SY-6IEB

Mark your CPU Frequency:

that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.

FSB 66MHz

266MHz (66 x 4.0) 333MHz (66 x 5.0) 400MHz (66 x 6.0)
300MHz (66 x 4.5) 366MHz (66 x 5.5) 433MHz (66 x 6.5)

CPU Mount Procedure:

separately, follow these instructions.

Retention Module Step 1. Open the two sides by folding them up.

Push the locks on top of the CPU
inward.

To mount the processor that you have purchased

Record the working frequency of your CPU

Step 3. Insert the CPU into the retention

module. The CPU fits in the CPU slot in
only ONE way, do not try to force it in.

Step 4. After completely inserting the CPU, push the two locks on

top of the CPU outward. Now your CPU is ready for use.

To remove the CPU, press

the two notches on top of
the CPU inward. Now
press the two slides on the
retention module down and
remove the CPU.

Note: Installing a heat sink and cooling fan on top of your CPU is necessary for proper heat dissipation.
Failing to install these items may result in overheating and possible burn-out of your CPU.

Step 3. Configure Memory

Your board comes with two DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 256MB of main
memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 128MB with no restriction on memory
configuration. Therefore, you can install memory modules in any combination.

Memory Configuration

Note on Over-clocking Capability

The SY-6IEB provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking setting your system
may fail to boot up or hang during run time. Please perform the following steps to recover
your system from the abnormal situation :

1. Turn off system power.

2. Press and hold down the <Insert> key while turning on the system power. Keep holding
down the <Insert> key until you see the message of the CPU type and frequency shown
on the screen.

3. Press the <Del> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup
program.

4. Select [SOYO COMBO SETUP] and move the cursor to the [CPU Frequency] field to set
the proper working frequency.

5. Select [Save & Exit SETUP] and press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the
CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

Note: SOYO does not guarantee system stability if the user over clocks the system.

Any malfunctions due to over-clocking are not covered by the warranty.

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,

Driver Installation

A short description of all available drivers follows:

Ø Intel Southbridge Drivers

Because Windows 95 does not recognize the Southbridge of the newer Intel chipsets (TX,
BX, ZX etc) this utility has to be run, it will update the necessary Windows files. (Only for
Windows 95)

Ø SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster Driver for Win 95/98

Without the busmaster drivers the CPU will need to be involved every time data is read from
or written to the Harddisk. The busmaster drivers make use of DMA (Direct Memory Access)
to relieve the CPU of this burden, thus speeding up the system.

The SOYO SpeedPro driver makes use of an advanced caching algorithm, which gives it an
advantage over other busmaster drivers.

Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for Windows 95
Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for Win NT
Ø Intel Busmaster Drivers for OS/2

These are the official busmaster drivers as supplied by Intel.

Note: Do NEVER install two types of busmaster drivers on your system, this will

lead to conflicts and system instability. Therefore, if you install the SOYO
SpeedPro Busmaster driver you can NOT install the Intel Busmaster drivers.
Before installing a new busmaster driver first UNINSTALL the old busmaster
driver.

Quick Start Guide

Ø SOYO CD Xpress Utility

This utility will enhance your CD-ROM Drive data-thoughput by using space on the Harddisk
as cache. This way application programs can access data faster. This utility is suitable for
Windows 95/98.

Select which driver you want to install and click
installation and return to the main menu.

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.
