Chapter 4

DRIVERS INSTALLATION

Your SY-6ZE+ Motherboard comes with a CD-ROM labeled "SOYO CD." The SOYO CD contains the user's manual file for your new Motherboard, the drivers software available for installation, and a database in HTML format with information on SOYO Motherboards and other products.

The SOYO CD Start Up Program automatically detects which SOYO Motherboard you own and displays the corresponding model name.

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.

Page 63

Drivers installation SY-6ZE+

Step 2. Install Drivers

Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers software that can be installed with your Motherboard. The Start Up program displays the drivers available for the particular model of Motherboard you own. We recommend that you only install those drivers.

The following drivers are available for Windows 95

(Driver Installation Menu)

Page 64

Drivers installation SY-6ZE+

The following drivers are available for Windows 98

(Driver Installation Menu)

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

Page 65

Drivers installation SY-6ZE+

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.

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.

Ø System Monitor Utility Your motherboard comes with a hardware monitoring IC. By installing this utility Temperature, Fan speed and Voltages can be monitored. It is also possible to set alarms when current system values exceed or fall below pre-set values.

Because the Hardware monitor comes with default monitoring settings that may not be appropriate to the configuration of the actual system, it is possible that the user will have to change some of these settings.

l Core voltage The core voltage differs between generations of Intel CPUs, if the Hardware monitor gives a warning, the settings for the safe range of the core voltage has to be adjusted. This can be done by simply clicking and dragging the upper and lower limit bars.

For example: Newer Slot 1 CPUs have a core voltage of 2.0V. Therefore, set the CPU Vcore limits to 1.8V and 2.2V. For 2.8V core voltage CPUs the limits would be 2.6V and 3.0V.

Page 66

Drivers installation SY-6ZE+

l Fan speed The Hardware monitor can keep track of three fans. If the user does not use all fans, the fans that are not in use should be disabled in the Hardware monitor program, otherwise the Hardware monitor will give an alarm. If this happens, make sure to disable monitoring for that fan.

Note: However, to display the list of all drivers software available with SOYO Motherboards, click the Display all drivers on the SOYO CD button. Please make sure to install only the drivers adapted to your system, or otherwise this cause system malfunctions.

Step 3. Select which driver you want to install and

click OK

Notice 1: 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.

Notice 2: You may click Cancel to abort the driver installation and return to the main menu.

Notice 3: 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.
