2-3 INSTALLATION GUIDE

We will now begin the installation of the motherboard. Please follow the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct installation.

Warning: Turn off the power to the motherboard, system chassis, and peripheral devices before performing any work on the motherboard or system.

Step 1. Single or Dual CPU Installation

Notice 1 (Dual processor): When installing two processors (Dual CPU), please make sure the front side bus, working frequency, and the specification number are identical for both

processors. Notice 2 (Single processor): If you are using a single processor, preferably install the processor in Slot2 #1, then insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

Your SY-D6IGA motherboard comes with a DRM (Dual Retention Mechanism) Assembly. The DRM Assembly is used to hold both Single or Dual Pentium® II Xeon™ & Pentium® III Xeon™ processors attached to the Slot2 #1 or Slot2 #2 slot connectors on the motherboard.

Follow these instructions to install your Xeon™ processor correctly.

Page 14

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

1. Mount the Motherboard on the Computer Chassis

You must first install the SY-D6IGA motherboard on the computer chassis. The motherboard should be bare (without DRM and CPU) and disconnected from any power source.

Position the motherboard with its mounting holes facing the corresponding attachment holes on the chassis and tighten the motherboard mounting screws.

2. Check the Parts Required for CPU Installation

q Part 1: DRM (Dual Retention Mechanism)

This motherboard is shipped with a DRM (Dual Retention Mechanism) assembly to hold the single or dual Xeon™ processor in Slot2 #1 and Slot2 #2.

DRM Mounting Holes

Chassis Mounting Holes

Page 15

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

FSB Termination Card

(To be inserted in Slot2 #2)

q Part 2: CPU Heat Sink & Fan

SOYO has also included a heavyduty Heat Sink & Fan assembly for better heat dissipation of the CPU. We recommend that you use this instead of the heat sink that comes with your CPU.

q Part 3: FSB Termination Card

The FSB (Front Side Bus) Termination Card must be inserted in the unoccupied Slot2 connector #2 in a Single processor configuration. If you install only one processor, fit it in Slot2 #1, and insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

3. Mount the CPU Heat Sink & Fan Assembly

The CPU Heat Sink & Fan assembly provided by SOYO provides better heat dissipation capability. Remove the original heat sink at the back of the CPU SEC cartridge and affix SOYO’ s Heat Sink & Fan assembly by securing the four mounting screws to the CPU’ s thermal plate.

Page 16

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

4. Install the DRM Assembly

4(a) Locate Slot2 #1 & Slot2 #2 connectors and the DRM

mounting holes on the motherboard. Note that Slot2 #1 is located closer to the middle of the motherboard while Slot2 #2 is situated near the edge of the board.

4(b) Attach the two fan cables of the DRM Stand (the one

equipped with 2 fans) to the fan power connectors labeled DRMFAN 1 & 2 on the motherboard.

4(c) Affix this DRM Stand (the one equipped with 2 fans) to the

motherboard and then fix the DRM Stand by securing two DRM mounting screws at the base of the DRM Stand to the chassis.

Page 17

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

4(d) Mount the second DRM Stand (the one without fans)

opposite from the DRM fans (between the back panel connectors and Slot2 sockets) and use two DRM mounting screws to secure its base to the motherboard.

Note:If your system is using two chassis cooling fans, plug the second fan cable to the chassis fan power connector labeled CHAFAN 2, now. Once the second DRM Stand is mounted, it will block the CHAFAN 2 connector, providing insufficient clearance to either attach or remove the fan power connector cable.

5. Install the First Processor in Slot2 #1

Record the working frequency and specification number of your CPU that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.

Pentium® II Xeon™ Processor Pentium® III Xeon™ Processor

400 MHz (100 x 4.0) 500 MHz (100 x 5.0) 450 MHz (100 x 4.5) 550 MHz (100 x 5.5)

S/N: S/N:

5(a) Clip the DRM Top onto the processor with the DRM Top

mounting holes facing away from the processor’ s heat sink assembly.

5(b) Slide-in the processor into the DRM Assembly and insert it

in Slot2 #1, while making sure that the heat sink assembly is facing towards the center of the motherboard.

Important: The Slot2 connector is directionally keyed, and the processor will not go in unless it is properly oriented, as shown in the figure.

5(c) Secure the DRM Top bar to both DRM stands by using two

mounting screws.

5(d) Connect the processor cooling fan cable to the CPU fan

power connector labeled CPUFAN on the motherboard.

Page 19

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

6. (Dual Processor Configuration) Install the Second Processor in Slot2 #2

If you are installing a second processor in Slot2 #2, apply the same procedure as in step 5. However, in step 5(a), clip the DRM Top onto the processor with the mounting holes facing towards the heat sink.

Notice 1: When installing two processors, make sure the front side bus and working frequency are identical for both processors. Do NOT install different types of CPU at the same time, for example, Pentium® II Xeon™ (400/450 MHz) and Pentium® III Xeon™ (500/550 MHz) processors may not work properly when installed together in a dual configuration. We strongly recommend using two processors with the same specification number in dual processor configuration.

Notice 2: If two processors are installed in the DRM assembly, then the clearance between processors will be insufficient and not allow the use of a heat sink & fan assembly on the second processor (the one installed in Slot2 #2). Cooling of the second processors will be provided by the two DRM fans. If you install a heat sink on the second processor, only use a narrow gage heat sink so as not to obstruct the flow of air between the two processors.

7. (Single Processor Configuration) Install the Termination Card in Slot2 #2

If only one processor is installed in your system, you are required to insert the FSB Termination Card in the available Slot2 #2.

Note: If you are using a single processor, you must install the processor in Slot 2 #1, then insert the Termination Card in Slot 2 #2, in this order.

Page 20

Hardware Setup SY-D6IGA

7(a) Insert the termination card in Slot2 #2, while making sure

that the two notches at the base of the card align perfectly with the keys in Slot2 #2 connector.

Important: The Slot2 connector is directionally keyed, and the termination card will not go in unless it is properly oriented, as shown in the figure.

Troubleshooting at First Start

l What should I do if the motherboard refuses to start? The 350MHz setting is used as default so whenever the BIOS

settings are erased or reset, the board will be able to boot up. If the CPU speed was set too high and the motherboard refuses to start up, you can always load the default values by pressing the [Ins] key during boot up.

l Over-clocking may cause system malfunctions! The SY-D6IGA 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. 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 (133MHz or 200MHz) appear on screen.

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

4. From the BIOS main menu, 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 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.

DRIVERS INSTALLATION

Your SY-D6IGA 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 72

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

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.

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.

The following drivers are available for Windows® 95.

Page 73

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

The following drivers are available for Windows® 98.

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 74

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

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 Intel LAN PRO/100+ Installation Help These are the electronic help files as provided by Intel, for more information on the installation of the Intel LAN PRO/100+ drivers, select this item and click ‘ OK’ .

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.

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.

Page 75

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

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.

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 1: EZ-SCSI Utility

The SOYO CD contains a SCSI utility (EZ-SCSI) for use with the onboard Adaptec® SCSI chip. The EZ-SCSI Utility is located in the \drivers\EZ-SCSI directory and is suitable for DOS or Windows 3.1 environment only. The manual file in PDF format for the EZ-SCSI Utility can be found at the following location: \Manual\EZ-SCSI.pdf .

Note 2: 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. 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.

Page 76

Drivers Installation SY-D6IGA

Step 4. Select which driver you want to install and

click OK

Notice 1: You may click Cancel to abort the driver installation and return to the main menu.

Notice 2: 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 you to restart your system before they can become active.

Changing Adapter Settings with PROSet™

There are two ways to run PROSet which allows changing the adapter settings.

l From the Control Panel, double-click on the [PROSet] icon. l From the Control Panel, double-click on the [Network] icon,

select the Adapters tab, and double-click on the "Intel(R) PRO/100+ PCI Adapter".

From the main PROSet menu, you can click the Advanced tab to view and modify adapter settings. The defaults work correctly for most configurations. The following table lists the PROSet parameters that can be configured in the Advanced menu.

PROSet

Parameter

Description

Speed

Recommended

Setting

[Auto Detect]

(default)

This parameter lets the PRO/100+ adapter know what speed to use on the Ethernet connection. The choices are 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and Auto Detect.

In Auto Detect mode, the adapter detects if its networking environment can support 100 Mbps speed. It then sets the speed to 100Mbps if so, or otherwise to 10Mbps.

Note: If you want to choose a Duplex Mode other than Auto Detect, you must set the speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

Duplex

Recommended

Setting

[Auto Detect]

Auto Detect

Auto Detect: The adapter negotiates with the hub or switch how to send/ receive packets, either full or half duplex.

Full-Duplex: The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time. This improves the performance of your adapter. Set duplex mode to full duplex only if you have a switch that also supports full duplex.

Half-Duplex: The adapter performs one operation at a time. It either sends or receives.

Note: In order to allow changing the Duplex mode, you must set the Speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

The PRO/100+ adapter has the ability to send and receive packets at the same time (full-duplexing) at both 10 and 100 Mbps. In order to reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex hub or switch.

The PRO/100+ adapter has the added ability to "talk" to the hub or switch and determine at which mode to communicate (either full or half duplex). This is called auto- negotiation. You must have an auto-negotiating hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex Mode set to Auto. If you don't have an auto-negotiating hub or switch and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set the SPEED parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.

The PRO/100B T4 adapter can not operate in full duplex mode at 100 Mbps. The PRO/10+ PCI adapter can only operate in full duplex mode at 10 Mbps and only on

the TPE connector. The PRO/10+ PCI adapter does not support auto-negotiation; it will run at half duplex unless forced.

Other Settings

For information on other settings in the PROSet Advanced tab, use PROSet's context-sensitive online help.

Netware 3.12 and 4.10 Server Driver

Installation Notes

Location of driver: \NWSERVER\3X4X.OLD\E100B.LAN

(ODI Assembly Specification version 3.3)

Location of NLMs: On Novell's automated services

(ODI33F.EXE or greater)

Note: ODI33x.EXE is a Novell archive that contains the latest server NLMs and support files. The x in ODI33x.EXE is subject to change

with each new release of the archive.

These instructions are for use with the ODI Assembly Specification v3.31 NLMs. The \NWSERVER\E100B.LAN driver on this disk is written to this specification. To load the driver on NetWare 4.10 or

3.12 requires updated ETHERTSM, MSM and the new NBI.NLM.

Obtain these files from Novell's automated services.

l For NetWare 4.10:

Ø NBI.NLM (ver 1.64, 08/29/97 or newer) Ø MSM.NLM (ver 3.71, 12/02/97 or newer) Ø ETHERTSM.NLM (ver 3.61, 12/08/97 or newer)

l For NetWare 3.12:

Ø NBI31X.NLM (ver 1.64, 08/29/97 or newer) Ø MSM31X.NLM (ver 3.71, 12/02/97 or newer) Ø ETHERTSM.NLM (ver 3.61, 12/08/97 or newer)

Notice1: NBI.NLM (or NBI31X.NLM) must be loaded before MSM and ETHERTSM.

Notice2: NetWare 3.12 needs MSM31X.NLM renamed to MSM.NLM.

Page 94

PRO/100+™ LAN Adapter Installation SY-D6IGA

Important: When using command line options with the .LAN driver for NWSERVER, make sure the equal sign is followed by a value. Otherwise, unpredictable results may occur.

General Instructions

1. Install NetWare 3.12 or 4.10 according to the NetWare instructions.

2. Copy the PRO/100+ server driver (\NWSERVER\E100B.LAN) and any updated NLMs, to the NetWare server's hard drive. l If you can't log in to the server (before starting the server)

copy the E100B.LAN driver from the \NWSERVER directory on the Configuration and Drivers disk to the root directory of the server's hard drive.

l If you can log into the server, copy the driver to the

SYSTEM subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

3. Start the server. At the server console, load NBI, MSM and

ETHERTSM (for NetWare 3.12 load NBI31X, MSM31X and ETHERTSM) in this order.

Next, load and bind the server driver as follows:

LOAD C:<PATH>\E100B SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 BIND IPX TO E100B NET=xxxxxxxx

Where: SLOT=x Specifies the NBI (NetWare Bus Interface) slot number. Substitute x with the valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted with the slot number(s) of installed PRO/100+ adapters. The NBI numbers are different from the slot number indicated in the SETUP.EXE utility.

Page 95

PRO/100+™ LAN Adapter Installation SY-D6IGA

NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment. The default frame type is 802.2. If your workstation needs to use the 802.3 frame type, see the section later in this document about using multiple frame types on one adapter.

4. Add the load and bind statements you need to the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file so the PRO/100+ adapter driver loads automatically each time the server starts.

Hints and tips

1. If the error message:

"Loader cannot find public symbol: <symbol name>"

is encountered then: Upgrade the ETHERTSM.NLM and MSM31x.NLM and be sure to rename MSM31x.NLM to MSM.NLM.

2. Installing multiple adapters: If you have multiple adapters in a single server, each adapter must have a different NET number and SLOT number. Also, you may want to name each adapter. For example:

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 NAME=LAN_A BIND IPX TO LAN_A NET=222 LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=4 NAME=LAN_B BIND IPX TO LAN_B NET=333

3. If you have problems loading the driver on multiple adapters and the initialization fails due to "Insufficient RCBs," increase the number of buffers allocated to the server. Add the following to STARTUP.NCF:

SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 100 (or larger) SET MAXIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = 500 (or larger)

Page 96

PRO/100+™ LAN Adapter Installation SY-D6IGA

The MINIMUM value you specify must be at least 30 times the number of PRO/100+ adapters in the computer. Recommended settings are:

1-3 adapters: 100 4 adapters: 150

The MAXIMUM you can specify depends on the amount of memory in the server, but it must be greater than the

MINIMUM.

4. Installing one adapter with multiple frame types: When binding multiple frame types to one adapter, enter a LOAD and BIND statement for each frame type. Each LOAD statement uses the same SLOT number, but each BIND statement needs a unique network number. You must also include a name on each load line to avoid being prompted for the adapter to bind IPX to. Example:

LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.2 NAME=LAN8022 BIND IPX TO LAN8022 NET=88888 LOAD C:\E100B SLOT=3 FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 NAME=LAN8023 BIND IPX TO LAN8023 NET=77777

5. Optional LOAD line parameters: See the NetWare Server Parameters readme (NWPARAM.TXT) for additional information.

PRO/100+™ LAN Adapter Installation SY-D6IGA

General Instructions

1. Install NetWare 3.11 according to the NetWare 3.11 installation manual.

2. Copy the E100B.LAN server driver and any updated NLMs to the NetWare server's hard drive. l If you can't log in to the server (before starting the server)

copy the E100B.LAN driver to the root directory of the server's hard drive.

l If you can log into the server, copy the files to the SYSTEM

subdirectory. If you do this, you won't need to specify a path on the load line. If you copy it to another directory, make sure the LOAD statement includes the correct path.

3. Modify the server's STARTUP.NCF to pre-allocate server buffers with the following:

SET MAXIMUM PHYSICAL RECEIVE PACKET SIZE = 2048 (or larger)

4. Start the server. At the server console, issue the load and bind statement.

LOAD C:<PATH>\PATCHMAN LOAD C:<PATH>\LSLENH LOAD C:<PATH>\MSM LOAD C:<PATH>\ETHERTSM LOAD C:<PATH>\E100B SLOT=x FRAME=ETHERNET_802.3 BIND IPX TO E100B NET=xxxxxxxx

Where: SLOT=x specifies the PCI device number. Substitute x with the valid value for the adapter. You will be prompted if you don't specify a slot number. NET=xxxxxxxx is the unique network address for that LAN segment. The default frame type is 802.2. If your workstations needs to use the 802.3 frame type, see the section later in this document about using multiple frame types on one adapter.

Page 99
