Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, and provides support up to 512MB main
memory using PC100 DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB.

Note: 1. PC100 Compliant DIMM module is required regardless of 66 or 100
MHz FSB speed.

2. If you want to use DIMM3, DIMM2 must be used as well to let the
system work properly. Just plugging a memory module into DIMM3
with DIMM2 left empty, will make the system not working.

Step 4. Set J6 &JP2 to configure CPU FSB Frequency

If the user wants to use the CPU at its standard FSB (Front Side Bus) Frequency, J6 has to
be closed. This will make sure the system will provide the CPU with the FSB Frequency it
was specified to run at. Make sure that JP2 is open when using this setting.

If the user wants to run the CPU at another (higher) FSB frequency however, J6 has to be
open. In this case use JP2 to set the FSB frequency.

100MHz and higher FSB frequencies.

Note

: The “Manual” mode setting facilitates FSB over-clocking. Doing so will however force
your CPU to operate out of its specifications, and therefore SOYO can not guarantee the
proper function of your system.

Step 5. Set the CPU Frequency

This Motherboard does not use any jumpers to set the CPU operating frequency; theCPU
settings can be changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Please refer to
Chapter 3 “Quick BIOS Setup” for details on setting the

processor frequency.

Step 6. Set for JP9 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 9. CPU Core Voltage Adjust (JP15)

In case your CPU is running on a frequency higher then it is specified for, increasing its core
voltage can enhance its stability. Over-clocking your CPU does however force your system
to operate outside of its specifications, and therefore SOYO can not guarantee system
stability.

pins 2-3 on jumper JP5, for a few seconds. Then restore JP5 to the initial 1-2 jumper setting
in order to recover and retain the default settings.

Note on Over-clocking Capability

The SY-7IWB 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 (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your system,

you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut down the
system.)

2. Set the J6 to open and set the JP2 pin 1-2 if you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.

3. 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.

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

program.

5. Select [Soyo Combo Feature] and move the cursor to the [CPU Frequency] field to set the

proper working frequency.

6. 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.

Special Design Considerations

1. The Headphone does not mute the audio when the headphone slider is adjusted to the minimum

value.

2. SW Synth slider jumps to max value, when Synth state is switched from Stop to Play or viceversa.

3. Master Volume levels are quite low when compared to Headphone volume levels.

4. Fastforward and Rewind Controls in the Media Player can not enabled.

5. When resuming from sw wavetable playback, midi is paused.

6. Digital CD Audio is recorded by loopback mux selection.

7. Mono Mix volume is low.

8. Some Dos games do not run in a Dos Box. This support is provided by the Microsoft legacy Audio

emulator.

Note: The above limitations list is as provided by the codec manufacturer, SOYO will provide customers
with new driver releases through the SOYO website as soon as they are released by the manufacturer.
