Install the Motherboard
Follow the steps below in order to perform the installation of your new
Motherboard.
SY-7IZB+N
Step 1.
Mark your CPU Frequency:
that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.
Install the CPU
Record the working frequency of your CPU
300MHz (66 x 4.5) 333MHz (66 x 5.0) 366MHz (66 x 5.5) 400MHz (66 x 6.0)
433MHz (66 x 6.5) 466MHz (66 x 7.0) 500MHz (66 x 7.5) 533MHz (66 x 8.0)
This Motherboard is designed to be able to support processors with 100MHz FSB. However,

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 Motherboard. The fan is a key component that will ensure
system stability. The fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of
your CPU.

Step 3. Configure Memory
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 256MB of main
memory using DIMM modules from 8MB to 128MB.
Note: Because DIMM banks 2 and 3 are shared, double-sided DIMMs
(having ICs on both sides of the module) can be used in only one of
the banks. With single-sided DIMM both bank 2 and 3 can be used.
Step 4. Set JP9 for power up FSB clock and AGP bus clock.
JP9 is used to adjust AGP bus clock frequency depending on the value of the front side bus
(FSB) clock, also the setting of the JP9 determines the power up FSB clock which will
remain effective until the BIOS set the FSB clock to the CMOS setting.

2. If you use an AT power supply, make sure that JP10 is setting 2-3.
Clear CMOS Data (JP5)
In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear
the CMOS memory.
1. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper

Note on Over-clocking Capability
The SY-7IZB+N Motherboard provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking
setting your system may fail to boot up or hang during run time. If this occurs, 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 JP9 to pin 2-3 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 your

Quick Trouble shoot tips
Video (no display) related issues
I built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing happens when
turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC speaker. What is happening
and how can it be fixed?
No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not work at all. It
could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a component on the M/B is
grounded (shorted) with the case. Also make sure to check the voltage setting
switch (110V/220V) on the back of the power supply. To isolate the problem do
the following:
1. Press and hold down on the “Ins” (insert) key while turning on the computer
until you get video. If you do not get video then,
2. Double-check jumpers setting on you motherboard and remove all add-on
cards, unplug all hard-disk and floppy-disk drive cables and see if you can hear
some beeps. If you still do not get any beeps, then try putting the motherboard on
the table (to isolate it from the case) with the CPU and speaker only, and give it one
more try.
I hear a series of beeps and I do not get anything from my monitor. What
could be wrong?
The following lists some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:
• One long beep and 3 very short beeps - The video card is not detected by
the motherboard. Please re-seat your video card. If you are using an AGP
card, please push your AGP card down real hard. You may have to push
VERY hard without the AGP card mounting screw. Make sure not to
insert the card the other way around.
Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not seated
•
correctly in its socket.
My PCI VGA card works fine with my system, but when I put in a new AGP
card, it does not give me any video. Is my AGP slot bad?
This is a common problem with AGP video cards. The reason is that your AGP
card did not get seated into the AGP slot fully and firmly. Please push your AGP
card down into the socket real hard, it should snap twice. You may have to unscrew
the AGP card to allow the card to go further down. Do take care not to damage the
card by using too much force.
15
Page 16
SY-7IZB+N Quick Start Guide
I get distorted video my AGP card right after I save my bios. Why is that?
The cause is likely that your AGP card is not running at the correct bus speed. To
fix this, please clear the CMOS via JP5 and if it still does not work, please upgrade
your motherboard bios to the latest version.
BIOS Issues
Where can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?
It will be displayed on the up-left corner on the screen during boot-up. It will show
as your board type followed by the revision number, such as 5EH_2CA1 (meaning
revision 2CA1 for the SY-5EH board) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+
IV motherboard with 2AA2 bios.
Where can I find the latest BIOS of my motherboard?
Please go to the technical support page of one of the SOYO websites (Taiwan:
www.soyo.com.tw
revision.
), and look up your motherboard to find the latest BIOS
Hard disk, floppy drive, CD-ROM etc
When I boot up my new computer I got "floppy boot failure" and the LED on
the floppy stays on
Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy drive side
(don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector of the cable (don't
use middle one).
Modem issues
I get an "I/O Conflict" message when I turn on my system and I can not get
my modem to work
What you need to do is to disable 'COM2' (or UART2 or serial port 2) in the bios
under integrated peripheral setup.
I have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get my
modem to work. Why?
If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you need to
install the south bridge driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does
not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.
Audio Issues
I do not get any sound from my sound card. What could be wrong?
Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your sound card.
16
Page 17
SY-7IZB+N
In Device Manager, I keep getting yellow exclamation signs on my sound port
even though I have installed my sound driver several times and I could not get
my sound card to work. What is wrong?
It is likely that you did not have the correct driver installed. If you are sure that the
correct sound driver has been installed, then please install the 'south bridge' driver
for the motherboard.
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the
CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the sound card is not
connected or it is loose.
The sound from my sound card is distorted when Windows starts. What is
wrong?
First, if you are using an ISA sound card, please make sure the IRQ needed for the
sound card is set to 'Legacy ISA' in the bios. In other words, if your ISA sound card
Quick Start Guide
takes IRQ5, then set IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'. Next, install the 'south bridge' driver for
the motherboard.
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and
microphone do not work. What is wrong?
This is because the recorder and microphone in the Windows are not enabled.
Please go to sound properties and enable them.
Lock up (freeze)
When I boot up my system, everything works fine. It sees my CPU and
memory, detects my hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM but locks up at
"Verify DMI pool data... ", and it won’t go any further. What should I do?
Please clear the CMOS via JP5 then choose 'load optimized default' in the bios and
save the bios and exit. Next, unplug all other add-on cards except the video card
and floppy drive controller, and see if it can boot from floppy. Then put back the
peripherals one by one to identify which one causes the lockup. If you are running a
Cyrix CPU, make sure the 'linear burst function' is enabled in the bios.
I can not get my board to run properly.
Please make sure you have the latest bios and driver from the SOYO web site at:
