1-9 CHIPSET

 VT8361

The KLE133 chip set consists of the VT8361 system controller (552 pin

BGA) and the VT82C686B PCI to ISA bridge (352 pin BGA). The system

controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM and

PCI bus with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation.

The VT8361 supports four banks of DRAMs up to 1GB. The DRAM

controller supports standard, Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), in a flexible

mix / match manner. The Synchronous DRAM interface allows zero wait

state bursting between the DRAM and the data buffers at 100/133 MHz.

The four banks of DRAM can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of

1M/2M/4M/8M/16M/32MxN DRAMs.

The VT8361 system controller also supports full AGP v2.0 capability for

maximum bus utilization including 1x/2x/4x mode transfers, SBA (Side

Band Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and pipelined grants. An eight

level request queue plus a four level post-write request queue with

thirty-two and sixteen quad words of read and write data FIFO’s

respectively are included for deep pipelined and split AGP transactions. A

single-level GART TLB with 16 full associative entries and flexible

CPU/AGP/PCI remapping control is also provided for operation under

protected mode operating environments. Both Window 95 VxD and

Windows 98 /Windows 2000 mini port drivers are supported for

interoperability with major AGP-based 3D and DVD- capable multimedia

accelerators.

The VT8361 supports two 32-bit 3.3/5V system buses (one AGP and one

PCI) that are synchronous/ pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus. The chip

also contains a built-in bus-to-bus bridge to allow simultaneous concurrent

operations on each bus. Five levels (double words) of post write buffers

are included to allow for concurrent CPU and PCI operation. For PCI

master operation, forty-eight levels (double words) of post write buffers

and sixteen levels (double words) of prefetch buffers are included for

concurrent PCI bus and DRAM/cache accesses. The chip also supports

Page 14

Motherboard Description

SY-K7VEMPRO

enhanced PCI bus commands such as Memory-Read-Line,

Memory-Read-Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid commands to

minimize snoop overhead. In addition, advanced features are supported

such as snoop ahead, snoop filtering, L1 write-back forward to PCI master,

and L1 write-back merged with PCI post write buffers to minimize PCI

master read latency and DRAM utilization. Delay transaction and read

caching mechanisms are also implemented for further improvement of

over all system performance.

The 352-pin Ball Grid Array VT82C686B PCI to ISA bridge supports four

levels (double words) of line buffers, type F DMA transfers and delay

transaction to allow efficient PCI bus utilization The VT82C686B also

includes an integrated keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse support,

integrated DS12885 style real time clock with extended 256 byte CMOS

RAM, integrated master mode enhanced IDE controller with full scatter/

gather capability and extension to UltraDMA-33/66 for 33/66 MB/sec

transfer rate, integrated USB interface with root Hub and two function

ports with built-in physical layer transceivers, Distributed DMA supports,

and On Now/ ACPI compliant advanced configuration and power

management interface.

For sophisticated power management, the Via 8361 provides independent

clock stop control for the CPU/SDRAM, PCI, and AGP buses and

Dynamic CKE control for powering down of the SDRAM. A separate

suspend-well plane is implemented for the SDRAM control signals for

Suspend-to-DRAM operation. Coupled with the VT82C686B south bridge

chip, a complete power conscious PC motherboard can be implemented

with no external TTLs.

The Via 8361 chipset is ideal for high performance, high quality, high

energy efficient and high integration desktop AGP / PCI computer

systems.

1-12 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer

through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in

network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote

wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on

LAN connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the Ethernet interface;

upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal that

powers up the computer. This feature uses the Wake on LAN connector.



CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be

capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate

standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power

supply.

Note: If the fan is defective or Power connector is not connected to CPUFAN1, the

system will enable FOC function see below for more information on FOC

function.

FOC ( Fan-Off Control )

The newly designed SOYO “FOC” is based on the concept of total

protection for CPU, which is very different from currently seen on the

market. The H/W control function is used to see a passive security system

of monitoring and warning. “FOC”, designed by SOYO, gives emphasis

on the concept of total protection. S/W Simultaneous Signal Follow-ups

techniques and Auto Power Off System are included to prevent all possible

damage caused by the MAL-functioning of the CPU fan. With the help of

“O/S On Time Monitoring And Warning” function, provided by the H/W

monitoring system, the double-protection purpose is achieved.

Page 29

Hardware Installation

SY-K7VEMPRO

“FOC” includes the following functions:

(1) Simultaneous Signal Follow Ups: Before the system enters the O/S,

H/W will detect the signals of the CPU fan pins, get their

revolution information and send it to the BIOS.

(2) Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS gets the information of CPU

fan revolution, it goes on working normally. If not, it will

inform the system and have the power supply disconnected

immediately. Thus, the CPU is protected from over heating.

Note: The following must be observed to secure the normal functioning of

“Fan-Off Control”:

1. CPU fan with sensor pins must be used.

2. CPU fans approved by AMD are strongly recommended.

3. The “HOT KEY” function is provided for the CPU fans without

sensor pins, to avoid the power off. Users may press the “Insert”

key to jump over the “Power Off” mode; go to the BIOS and

disable “FOC”. Now system can be booted normally.

4. The power connector of the CPU fan must be connected to the

specified “CPU Fan Connector” on the motherboard to secure the

normal functioning of the system.

We provide the following User-Friendly protection features:

1.Fan-Off Control : The motherboard detects the status of the CPU

fan and protects the CPU by automatically disconnecting the

power supply. The default value of this function is Enable. After

booting up, the user may disable it.

2.CPU Socket Sticker : Users will find a sticker on the CPU socket,

which reminds them of the correct usage of the K7 CPU.

3. Heat Dissipation Paste: Heat Dissipation Paste is included for all

Socket-A motherboards, to enhance the heat dissipation

capability.

Furthermore, we strongly recommend our users to enable the function of H/W monitoring in the BIOS. This function, together with the FOC, provide the total protection to the CPU and allow it to maximize its performance.

2-3.8 Troubleshooting at First Start

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 beep means 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. 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?

Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not seated

correctly in its socket.

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: the latest BIOS revision.

www.soyo.com.tw

), and look up your motherboard to find

Page 49

Hardware Installation

SY-K7VEMPRO

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 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.

Audio Issues

I do not get any sound from onboard audio. What could be wrong?

Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your

sound card.

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 'via

4 in 1' 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 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.

Page 50

Hardware Installation

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.

I can not get my board to run properly.

Please make sure you have the latest bios and driver from the SOYO web
