1. Please read the users guide before proceeding with your  
installations. Serious damage may occur if the  
procedure is not followed properly.  
2. This motherboard does not support CPUs with a Vcore  
higher than 1.6 volts. Please make sure the CPU you are  
using 1.6 volts or is below. Check the CPU specification  
before you insert it in the CPU socket.  
3. AGP cards running at 3.3v are not supported. Only AGP  
cards running at 1.5v (most 4x or 8x AGP cards) are  
supported on this motherboard.  
4. Please make sure that your memory modules are inserted  
correctly. They can go in only one way, and should fit  
completely in the socket without sticking out. Failure to do  
so will damage your motherboard and memory module.  
5. An ATX12V power supply (Power supply for Pentium 4  
system) is required for the system to operate normally.  
(Preferably 350 watts for minimal loading or 400 watts for  
fully loaded system).  
6. If you have any problem getting your system to work,  
please follow the troubleshooting tips in your user manual.  
7. On some motherboards, the actual chipset cooler may differ  
from the chipset cooler as shown on the picture or on the  
box. However, the chipset fan on the motherboard is of the  
same quality and will work just as well as the one shown in  
the picture. (The chipset cooler is as sufficient as the chipset  
fan based on a different design.)

Step 2 Install Memory Module  
This motherboard supports two Dual Channels to your memory. Note that  
you can use normal DDR memory for Dual Channel to work. Also note that  
for Dual Channel to work 2 or 4 modules of equal size and specifications  
have to be installed.  
The largest memory capacity possible is 4GB. On this motherboard,  
DRAM speed can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed.  
Note that when installing 4GB of memory, your total memory will be less  
than 4GB. The reason for this is that the BIOS, PCI and AGP cards claim part  
of your CPUs address space.  
Memory Configuration Table  
If you want to use the Dual Channel feature, please follow the memory  
configuration table below:

* When using a 800 MHz FSB CPU and PC2700 DDR DIMMs, the memory  
frequency runs at 320 MHz (instead of 333 MHz) due to chipset limitations.  
Step 3 Installation of Expansion Cards  
The motherboard has 1 AGP slot and 5 PCI slots.  
1. Read the related expansion card’s instruction document before inserting  
the expansion card into the computer.  
2. Press the expansion card firmly into the expansion slot on the motherboard.  
3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are seated in the slot.  
4. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.  
5. Install required driver for the operating system you use.

Troubleshooting at First Start  
Boot-up Issues  
The system does not power-up, no beeping sound heard and the CPU fan  
does not turn on.  
1. Check if the power cord is plugged in the power source.  
2. Check if the power is connected to the M/B. (both the ATX 12V and  
the ATX connector)  
3. Check if the cable of the case power button is connected to the M/B  
power button connector (see connectors and plug-ins in this manual  
for more info).  
4. Make sure the power supply is not defective. Change the power  
supply. The minimum should be 350 watts for a minimally loaded  
system or 400 watt for a fully loaded system.  
5. Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might  
be shorted to the case.  
The system powers up, no video, no beeping sound heard, but the CPU  
fan is turning.  
1. Clear the CMOS RAM. (JP5 connector, see the manual for more  
info on how to clear the CMOS).  
2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B.  
3. Check if the CPU is ok by using another CPU (check the manual for  
CPU supported on this M/B).  
4. Check if the power supply is ok. The minimum should be 350 watts  
for a minimally loaded system or 400 watt for a fully loaded system.  
5. Make sure the CPU fan is connected to CPUFAN1 connector.  
6. Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might  
be shorted to the case.  
7. Change the VGA card. If you have used a 3.3V AGP card, the AGP  
DET LED will also lit.  
119  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The system powers up, no video, but beeping is heard.  
1. Clear the CMOS ram. (JP5 connector, see the manual for more info  
on how to clear the CMOS).  
2. Check if the memory module and the VGA card are inserted  
properly in the M/B.  
3. If yes, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure  
the memory specification is supported by the M/B. (for more info on  
this, check our FAQ on our website).  
4. Change the VGA card. Make sure the AGP card is 1.5v, not 3.3v.  
The system turns on for some seconds then shut down by itself.  
1. Check if the CPU fan is connected to the CPUFAN1 connector.  
2. The CPU might be overheating. Check the CPU FAN if it is  
defective or see if the CPU fan is in contact with the CPU.  
3. Clear the CMOS ram. (JP5 connector, see the manual for more info  
on how to clear the CMOS).  
4. Make sure the power supply you have in your system supports the  
M/B specification. Example. If you have a P4 M/B, you need to use  
a P4 power supply. (ATX 12V compliant)  
5. If you already checked the power supply specification, change the  
power supply. It might be defective or to low for your configuration.  
The minimum is 350 watts for a minimally loaded system or 400  
watt for a fully loaded system.  
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... "it doesn’t go any further. What should I do?  
1. Clear the CMOS ram. (JP5 connector, see the manual for more info  
on how to clear the CMOS).  
2. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except the  
video card see if it boots further. Then put peripherals in one by one  
to identify which one causes the lockup.  
3. Change the CPU.  
120  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
During Boot-up, my computer says CMOS memory Checksum error.  
What is the problem? This error occurs if you:  
1. Clear CMOS memory.  
2. Redo your CMOS setup settings. If your battery is empty the error  
will occur more frequently. You will need to replace the battery in  
this case. If the problem persists, re-flash the BIOS. If all fails your  
BIOS chip is failing and needs to be replaced.  
3. Change the CMOS battery.  
4. Re-flash BIOS.  
5. The BIOS chip might be failing.  
Stability Issues  
My system intermittently locks up, very unstable.  
1. Check the CPU Temp, it might be overheating. Change the CPU  
FAN. (Check in the health monitor setup menu what your CPU  
temperature is)  
2. Do not overclock your CPU  
3. Check the specification of the memory module; maybe the M/B  
does not support it.  
4. Go to BIOS setup and load fail-safe settings. Please check if the  
system performance in the BIOS setup is set to Turbo/Maximum.  
Set it to normal if so.  
5. Check the website for latest BIOS update.  
6. Check the website for FAQ’s regarding instability issues.  
7. Change the memory module or CPU, they might be defective.  
8. The power supply might not have enough wattage to support all the  
peripherals. If your system has other peripherals connected, like  
CD-RW, extra HDD, etc. disconnect them. And see if the problem is  
gone then.  
9. Install Intel Inf driver.  
10. Check if your mainboard is shorting out against the case.  
11. Check if your memory module timings set in CMOS setup are  
supported by your memory module.

My system intermittently locks up, during Windows installation.  
1. Go to BIOS and load the optimized defaults.  
2. Check our website for any BIOS updates.  
3. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except CPU  
(and CPU Fan)/ Memory/ Video card/Hard disk. See if you can  
finish Windows installation. Then put peripherals in one by one to  
identify which one causes the lockup.  
BIOS Issue  
Where can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?  
It will be displayed on the upper-left corner of the screen during boot-up. It  
will show as your board type followed by the revision number, such as  
kvxa_2BA1 (meaning BIOS revision 2BA1 for the SY-K7V Dragon plus!  
board) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard with the  
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; USA: http://www.soyogroup.com/), and look up your  
motherboard to find the latest BIOS revision.  
How can I flash the BIOS?  
You can:  
1. Download the BIOS from our support website.  
2. Make a bootable floppy disk with out any memory manager loaded  
(i.e. himem, emm386, etc…).  
3. Copy the BIOS file and awdflash utility to the diskette.  
4. Type "awdflash biosname.bin /sn /py".

122  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note: That flashing from the BIOS is only possible if you use a normal floppy drive.  
It can’t flash from any other device.  
After flashing the BIOS, my system will not boot-up.  
1. Try clearing the CMOS ram.  
2. The BIOS chip is defective due to an unsuccessful flash, contact  
your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing.  
Is there a way to reprogram my BIOS after an unsuccessful flash?  
No other way, you need to send back the BIOS ROM to your nearest SOYO  
branch for re-flashing.  
I’m using a 400 or 533 MHz FSB CPU, I cannot find the DDR 200MHz  
option in the BIOS, why?  
An 800 MHz CPU should be used if you want your memory to run at DDR  
400 (PC3200).  
VGAIssue  
I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480).  
1. Make sure that you have installed the Intel Inf driver.  
2. Install/ re-install the VGA driver.  
After wake-up from Suspend to RAM or Standby mode, the screen has  
no display but I can hear the hard disk operating  
Check the VGA card manufacturer for a driver update and VGA BIOS update,  
make sure the VGA card supports the Suspend to Ram function.  
Audio Issue  
How can I disable the on-board Audio?  
Go to the SOYO Combo Feature menu in the BIOS setup, then set the  
“onboard audio” to disable.  
123

I cannot get the sound working on my system.  
1. Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector on  
the M/B. Make sure the SPDIF card cable isn’t connected the wrong  
way around.  
2. Check if your speakers are powered on.  
3. Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.  
4. Check BIOS setup if “onboard audio” is enabled.  
5. If sound is already installed, check our website for an audio driver  
update.  
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 4-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board  
CDIN connector or AUX connector on the M/B is not connected. See manual  
for location of CDIN.  
The sound and everything else works fine except that the line-in and/or  
microphone doesn’t work. What is wrong?  
1. Please go to sound properties and check if the line-in and/or  
microphone are enabled.  
2. Check if the Microphone/line-in device is ok.  
3. If you use the 4-channel option and you are connection your PC (not  
via the SPDIF card), line–in will be disabled. Line-in works  
normally when using the SPDIF card for speaker connections in  
4-channel mode.  
Added PCI Audio Card does not work on this motherboard.  
1. Go to SOYO COMBO Setup and Disable “onboard audio”.  
2. Go to integrated peripherals and Disable “Game port address” and  
“Midi port address”

Sometimes the system finds my CD-ROM, sometimes not  
1. Check CD-ROM if it is working properly.  
2. The power supply might not have enough wattage to support all the  
peripherals. If your system has other peripherals connected, like  
CD-RW, extra HDD, etc. disconnect them.  
When I boot up my new computer I get "floppy boot failure" and the LED  
on the floppy stays on  
1. 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).  
2. Some floppy drivers have their own jumper to make the same twist as  
the twist on the cable. Make sure this jumper is set not to “twist” the  
cable while the floppy drive is connected to the twisted end of the  
cable.  
RAID issue  
Windows does not detect the on-board RAID.  
1. Enable the on-board RAID function in the BIOS.  
2. Install the RAID driver, see chapter 6 for more info.  
Can I use my CD-ROM or other IDE device (except HDD) on IDE 3 & 4, SATA  
1-4?  
No, the IDE3,4 and all SATAports only support Hard disks.  
Can I use IDE 3 & 4 and / or SATA3-4 as a normal IDE channel?  
Yes, no need to change any settings in the BIOS. Just make sure to install the driver,  
check Chapter 6 for more info.  
I cannot get the HDD to boot from IDE 3 or IDE 4, why?  
Make sure that the 1st boot device in the BIOS is set to “other device” and then set the  
“other device boot order “ to “IDE3,4/SCSI” .  
Boot-up from my IDE3/4, I get blue screen upon entering Windows system  
Make sure the raid option in the BIOS is enabled.
