1-2 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules
while unpacking:
Ø
Ø
Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping
an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.
Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold
the Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its
components.
Ø
Check the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears loose,
press carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.
Warning: Do not apply power if the Motherboard appears
damaged. If there is damage to the board, contact your
dealer immediately.
1-3 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to ground yourself before handling the Motherboard or
other system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily
damage the components. Note that you must take special
precautions when handling the Motherboard in dry or air-conditioned
environment.
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the
following precautions:
Ø
Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to
install.
Ø
Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer
chassis.)
Ø
Ø
Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap.
Handle the Motherboard by its edges and avoid touching its
components.

Note: Installing a heat sink and cooling fan on top of your
CPU is necessary for proper heat dissipation. Failing to
install these items may result in overheating and possible
burn-out of your CPU.
Step 2. CPU Fan Installation
Your Slot 1 processor kit comes with a cooling fan. Mount the fan on
the processor according to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer. The fan is a key component that will ensure system
stability. The fan prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life
of your CPU.
Note: Remember to connect the fan to the appropriate power
source.

Step 3. SDRAM Memory Module Installation
This Motherboard features 4 x DIMM Banks for 168-pin 3.3V
unbuffered and registered DIMM modules. Your board comes with
four DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 1GB of main memory
using DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB. For 66MHz front side bus
CPUs use 12ns or faster memory; for 100MHz front side bus CPUs
use 8ns (100MHz, PC100 compliant) memory.

Note:
Mark the checkbox

processor in case the CMOS
configuration should be lost.
Note: if you use Bus Frequencies of 75 MHz, make sure that
your PCI cards can cope with the higher PCI clock.
4. Select [SAVE & EXIT SETUP]
Press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory,
and continue the boot sequence.
Troubleshooting at First Start
l
What should I do if the Motherboard refuses to start?
The 350MHz setting is used as default so whenever the BIOS
settings are erased or reset, the board will be able to boot up.
If the CPU frequency was set too high and the Motherboard refuses
to start up, you can always load the default values by pressing the
[Ins] key during boot up.

2. Press the mechanical power-button and hold down for over 4
seconds, to shutdown the computer. If you press the power-
button for less than 4 seconds, then your system will enter into
Suspend Mode.

to enter the BIOS Setup program.
2. Choose [SUPERVISOR PASSWORD] from the Main Menu and
press [Enter]. The following prompt appear:

Warning: If you forget or lose the password, the only way
to access the system is to set jumper JP5 to clear the
CMOS RAM. All setup information is lost and you must run
the BIOS setup program again.
Note: If you do not wish to use the password function,

Chapter 4
DRIVERS INSTALLATION
Your SY-6BA+ Motherboard comes with a CD-ROM labeled "SOYO
CD." The SOYO CD contains the user's manual file for your new
Motherboard, the drivers software available for installation, and a
database in HTML format with information on SOYO Motherboards
and other products.
The SOYO CD Start Up Program automatically detects which SOYO
Motherboard you own and displays the corresponding model name.
Step 1. Insert the SOYO CD into the CD-ROM drive
The SOYO CD will auto-run, and the SOYO CD Start Up Menu will
display as shown below.

Drivers installation
SY-6BA+
Step 1. Install Drivers
Click the Install Drivers button to display the list of drivers software
that can be installed with your Motherboard. The Start Up program
displays the drivers available for the particular model of
Motherboard you own. We recommend that you only install those
drivers.
The following drivers are available for Windows 95
(Driver Installation Menu)
59
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Drivers installation
SY-6BA+
The following drivers are available for Windows 98
(Driver Installation Menu)
A short description of all available drivers follows:
Ø
Intel Southbridge Drivers
Because Windows 95 does not recognize the Southbridge of the
newer Intel chipsets (TX, BX, ZX etc) this utility has to be run, it will
update the necessary Windows files. (Only for Windows 95)
Ø
SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster Driver for Win 95/98
Without the busmaster drivers the CPU will need to be involved
every time data is read from or written to the Harddisk. The
busmaster drivers make use of DMA (Direct Memory Access) to
relieve the CPU of this burden, thus speeding up the system.
The SOYO SpeedPro driver makes use of an advanced caching
algorithm, which gives it an advantage over other busmaster drivers.

Intel Busmaster Drivers for Windows 95

Drivers installation
Intel Busmaster Drivers for OS/2
SY-6BA+
Ø
These are the official busmaster drivers as supplied by Intel.
Note: Do NEVER install two types of busmaster drivers on
your system, this will lead to conflicts and system instability.
Therefore, if you install the SOYO SpeedPro Busmaster
driver you can NOT install the Intel Busmaster drivers.
Before installing a new busmaster driver first UNINSTALL the
old busmaster driver.
Ø
SOYO CD Xpress Utility
This utility will enhance your CD-ROM Drive data-thoughput by
using space on the Harddisk as cache. This way application
programs can access data faster. This utility is suitable for Windows
95/98.
Ø
System Monitor Utility
Your motherboard comes with a hardware monitoring IC. By
installing this utility Temperature, Fan speed and Voltages can be
monitored. It is also possible to set alarms when current system
values exceed or fall below pre-set values.
Because the Hardware monitor comes with default monitoring
settings that may not be appropriate to the configuration of the
actual system, it is possible that the user will have to change some
of these settings.
l
Core voltage
The core voltage differs between generations of Intel CPUs, if the
Hardware monitor gives a warning, the settings for the safe range of
the core voltage has to be adjusted. This can be done by simply
clicking and dragging the upper and lower limit bars.
For example:
Newer Slot 1 CPUs have a core voltage of 2.0V. Therefore, set the
CPU Vcore limits to 1.8V and 2.2V. For 2.8V core voltage CPUs the
limits would be 2.6V and 3.0V.

Fan speed
SY-6BA+
l
The Hardware monitor can keep track of three fans. If the user does
not use all fans, the fans that are not in use should be disabled in the
Hardware monitor program, otherwise the Hardware monitor will
give an alarm. If this happens, make sure to disable monitoring for
that fan.
Note: However, to display the list of all drivers software available
with SOYO Motherboards, click the Display all drivers on the
SOYO CD button. Please make sure to install only the drivers
adapted to your system, or otherwise this cause system
malfunctions.
Step 2. Select which driver you want to install and
click OK
Notice 1: Once you have selected a driver, the system will
automatically exit the SOYO CD to begin the driver installation
program. When the installation is complete, most drivers require to
restart your system before they can become active.
Notice 2: You may click Cancel to abort the driver installation and
return to the main menu.
Notice 3: Once you have selected a driver, the system will
automatically exit the SOYO CD to begin the driver installation
program. When the installation is complete, most drivers require to
restart your system before they can become active.
