(ZIF) socket that a processor in the FC-PGA package will use to

interface with a system board.

1-6.4 System Memory Interface

The Intel ® 815EP MCH integrates a system memory controller that

supports a 64-bit 100/133 MHz SDRAM array. The only DRAM

type supported is industry standard Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Motherboard Description

SY-7IS2

The SDRAM controller interface is fully configurable through a set

of control registers.

The Intel ® 815EP MCH supports industry standard 64-bit wide

DIMMs with SDRAM devices. The thirteen multiplexed address

lines. SMAA[12:0], along with the two bank select lines, SBS[1:0],

allow the Intel ® 815EP MCH to support 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, and

42M x64 DIMM. Only asymmetric addressing is supported. The

Intel ® 815EP MCH has 6 SCS# lines (2 copies of each for electrical

loading), enabling the support of up to six 64-bit rows of SDRAM.

The Intel ® 815EP MCH targets SDRAM with CL2 and CL3 and

supports both single and double-sided DIMMs. Additionally, the

Intel ® 815EP MCH also provides a 1024 deep refresh queue. The

Intel ® 815EP MCH can be configured to keep up to 4 page op[en

within the memory array. Pages can be kept open in any one bank of

memory.

Motherboard Description

SY-7IS2

The AGP interface supports 4x AGP signaling. AGP semantic

(PIPE# or SBA[7:0]) cycles to SDRAM are not snooped on the host

bus. AGP FRAME# cycles to SDRAM are snooped on the host bus.

The MCH supports PIPE# or SBA[7:0] AGP address mechanisms,

but not both simultaneously. Either the PIPE# or the SBA[7:0]

mechanism must be selected during system initialization. High

priority accesses are supported. Only memory writes form the hub

interface to AGP are allowed. No transactions from AGP to the hub

interface are allowed.

1-6.6 Hub Interface

Motherboard Description

SY-7IS2

1-6.7 IDE Support

The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces.

These interfaces support PIO Mode3, PIO Mode 4, PIO Mode 5 ATAPI

devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 synchronous-DMA

mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and

extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS

automatically detects the IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.

Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of

processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the

bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while

disk transfers are occurring.

The motherboard also supports laser servo (LS-120) drives. LS-120

technology allows the user to perform read/write operations to LS-120

(120MB) and conventional 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes. An optical

servo system is used to precisely position a dual-gap head to access the

diskett’ s 2,490 tracks per inch (tpi) containing up to 120 MB of data

storage. A conventional diskette uses 135 tpi for 1.44 MB of data storage.

LS-120 drivers are ATAPI-compatible and connect to the motherboard’ s

IDE interface. (LS-120 drives are also available with SCSI and parallel

port interfaces.) Some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT

operating systems recognize the LS-120 drive as a bootable device in both

120 MB and 1.44 MB mode.

Connection of an LS-120 drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is

allowed. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device if selected

as Drive A in the BIOS setup program.

¿Note

If you connect a LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as

the :boot: drive and configure a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive as a “B”

drive, the standard diskette drive is not seen by the operating system.

When the LS-120 drive is configured as the “boot: device, the system will

recognize it as both the A and B drive

1-8 HARDWARE MONITOR

The optional hardware monitor subsystem provides low-cost

instrumentation capabilities. The features of the hardware monitor

subsystem include:

An integrated ambient temperature sensor

Fan speed sensors, which monitor the fan 1 and fan 2 connectors

Power supply voltage monitoring to detect levels above or below

acceptable values

When suggested ratings for temperature, fan speed, or voltage are

exceeded, an interrupt is activated. The hardware monitor component

connects to the SMBus.

1-9 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 technology connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the MII

interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal

that powers up the computer. To access this feature uses the Wake on LAN

technology 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.

Step 6. CPU Frequency Settings: JP6, JP7, CJ1 and CJ2

For certain Intel CPUs, the multiplier is not locked such that setting a

multiplier higher than specified on the CPU is possible. For technical

details read the following:

Your FC-PGA 133/100/66 MHz FSB CPU has a pin JP6, JP7 to tell it

what FSB frequency the CPU requires; If these two jumpers are shorted

the motherboard will automatically run at the frequency the CPU was

specified to run at.

However, the FSB Frequency can also be set through jumpers CJ1 and CJ2

and it may therefore differ from the Frequency the CPU specifies. If CJ1

and CJ2 are to be used, JP6 & JP7 must be open. Doing so may however

force your CPU to operate out of its specifications and therefore SOYO

can not guarantee the proper functioning of your system.

2-3.9 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 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.

Hardware Installation

SY-7IS2

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.

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), 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

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Hardware Installation

SY-7IS2

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.

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 takes IRQ5, then set IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'. Next,

install the 'south bridge' driver for the motherboard.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Hardware Installation

SY-7IS2

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 setup 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: http://www.soyo.com
