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

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.

subsystem include:  
An integrated ambient temperature sensor  
Fan speed sensors, which monitor the fan 1 and fan 2 connector.  
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.  
1-12 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.  
24  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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: 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 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.

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  
2-3.9 Power Off

If you use Windows 95/98/98SE/ME, the SOYO CD Start Up Program  
automatically detects which SOYO Motherboard you own and displays the  
corresponding model name.  
The user's manual files included on the SOYO CD are in PDF (Postscript  
Document) format. In order to read a PDF file, the appropriate Acrobat  
Reader software must be installed in your system.

utility is already present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on  
whether or not you want to install it. You must install the Acrobat Reader  
utility to be able to read the user's manual file. Follow the instructions on  
your screen during installation, then once the installation is completed,  
restart your system and re-run the SOYO CD.
