1. Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.
2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole 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 stabilizes the system. It prevents the equipment from overheating and prolongs the life of your CPU.

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.
SY-K7ADA
21
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.
Quick Start Guide
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), and look up your motherboard to find the latest BIOS
revision.
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 via 4 in 1 driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.
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:
