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

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

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

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

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

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.

JP9 Setting

Power up FSB Clock 100MHz 66MHz

AGP Clock

Note: The specification of maximum AGP bus Clock frequency is 66.6MHz.

∗

Set JP9 to pin 2-3 short when you use a FSB 100MHz CPU.

∗

Set JP9 to pin 1-2 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.

∗

Set JP9 to pin 2-3 short when you use a FSB 66MHz CPU but want to over clock the
FSB clock to 100MHz via the BIOS setting.

AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1.5 AGP Clock = FSB Clock ÷ 1

Step 5. Set the CPU Frequency

This Motherboard does not use any jumpers to set the CPU frequency; CPU setting are
changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Refer to Chapter 3 “Quick BIOS
Setup” for details on how to set the

Step 7. Clear CMOS Data (JP5)

Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5 for at least 5
seconds, and then by shorting pin 1-2 to retain new settings. This jumper can be easily
identified by its white colored cap.

Note on Over-clocking Capability

The SY-7IZM 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 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 your
CPU frequency (66MHz x CPU Multiplier) appear on screen.

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

Setup program.

5. From the BIOS main menu, select [SOYO COMBO SETUP] 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 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.

The SOYO CD

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.

Ø Winbond hardware doctor for Windows xx

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.

This utility comes with a preset monitoring rage for the CPU voltage. However, the core
voltage of the processor you purchased may fall out of this preset range, so you may need to
adjust the pre-set value. Please refer to the SY-7IZM Motherboard’s CD manual for the
details.

Ø YAMAHA 740 Sound Drivers for Win95/98 and Win NT

With this application program the user can make use of the on board sound chip. Before
installing the YAMHA 740 Sound Drivers, you MUST first install the YAMAHA 740 drivers for
Windows 9x or NT.

Ø ATI Rage Pro AGP

Select this Item and click OK to start up the ATI Rage PRO AGP driver screen. Follow the
instructions on the screen to install the drivers and/or application programs you need.

Quick Start Guide

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.

Step 4. Check the Latest Releases

Click the 'Check the latest Releases' button to go the SOYO Website to automatically find
the latest BIOS, manual and driver releases for your motherboard. This button will only work
if your computer is connected to the internet through a network or modem connection. Make
sure to get your modem connection up before clicking this button.

Ø Uninstalling the Windows NT 4.0 drivers

Quick Start Guide

u How to uninstall the ATI Windows NT 4.0 Device Driver.

There are TWO ways to do this without re-installing Windows NT 4.0.

l first method:

1. Use Dos mode to go to the following directory:

\winnt\system32\drivers

2. And Rename the following file:

ren ATI.sys ATI.ati

Windows NT 4.0 looks for ATI.SYS drivers at boot time, so if it cannot find it, it cannot use it.

l second method:

While running Windows NT 4.0, execute the Win NT Setup program. Select a NON-ATI driver (try VGA­compatible).
