Congratulations on your new purchase of SOYO P4X400 Series
motherboard for the Intel platform!
This new motherboard offers support for ultra fast DDR400 memory.
However, since DDR400 is not a JEDEC (The Joint Electron Device
Engineering Council) approved memory specification, some users might
experience DDR400 incompatibilities as a result of discrepancy in memory
manufacturing.
In an effort to provide our customers the highest product quality and
performance, SOYO has tested a number of memory modules to ensure
compatibility. Please visit our web site at
http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=159 for information
on Recommended Memory.
In some cases BIOS upgrade might be required to take advantage of this
new feature. Please refer to our Support section on the web site for more
information.

Use power supply specifically for P4 M/B. (ATX 12V power supply)
The ATX12V power supply includes a 20-pin ATX connector that comply
with the ATX specification, Version 2.03 for M/B specification, a new 4-pin
receptacle/header combination--the +12V power connector--has been
defined. The presence of the +12V power connector indicates that a power
supply is ATX12V; the absence of the +12V power connector indicates that
a supply is ATX. To allow for greater than +3.3V current, the Aux power
connector is recommended for ATX and ATX12V power supplies with
+3.3V current >18A.

Warning: Follow these precautions to preserve your Motherboard
from any remnant currents when connecting to ATX power supply:
Turn off the power supply and unplug the power cord of the
ATX power supply before connecting to ATX PW connector.
The Motherboard requires a power supply with at least 250 Watts and a
"power good" signal. Make sure the ATX power supply can take at 1.5 A
max current * load on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB) to meet the standard
ATX specification.
Note:
ꢃ
ATX 12V power supply is different from the normal ATX power
supply.
ꢃ
If you use the Wake-On-LAN (WOL) function, make sure the
ATX power supply can support at least 720 mA on the 5V
Standby lead (5VSB).

APPENDIX A
Troubleshooting at First Start
Boot-up Issues
The system do not power-up, no beeping sound heard and the CPU fan
does not turn on.
1. Check if the power cord is plug to the power source.
2. Check if the power is connected to the M/B.
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 the manual
for more info).
4. Make sure the power supply is not defective. Change the power
supply. The minimum should be 250 watts.
5. Remove the M/B from the case and test the system. The M/B might
be shorted to the case.
The system power-up, no video, no beeping sound heard, but the CPU
fan is turning.
1. Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for
more info on how to clear the CMOS).
2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any).
3. Check if the CPU is ok by using another CPU (check the Quick
start guide for CPU supported on this M/B).
4. Check if the power supply is ok. The minimum should be 250
watts.
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 M/B
might be damage.
The system power-up, no video, beeping heard.
1. Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for

more info on how to clear the CMOS).
2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any).
3. Check the memory module and the VGA card if inserted properly
on the M/B.
4. 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 website).
5. Change the VGA card. Make sure the AGP card is 1.5v
The system turns on for some seconds then shutdown 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 CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for
more info on how to clear the CMOS).
4. Make sure the power supply you have on your system support the
M/B specification. Example. If you have a P4 M/B, you need to use
a P4 power supply.
5. If you already checked the power supply specification, change the
power supply it might be defective. The minimum is 250 watts.
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... ". Don't go any further. What should I
do?
1. Clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide for
more info on how to clear the CMOS).
2. If still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except video
card see if it move further. Then put peripherals in one by one to
identify which one cause the lockup.
3. Change the CPU.
During Boot-up, my computer says CMOS memory Checksum error.
What is the problem?
1. Clear CMOS memory.
92
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2. Re-flash BIOS. Check on how to flash BIOS on the later part of
this book.
3. Change the CMOS battery, the battery might be drained.
4. The BIOS chip might be failing.
Stability Issue
My system intermittently locks up, very unstable
1. Check the CPU Temp, it might be overheating. Change the CPU
FAN.
2. Do not over clock your CPU
3. Check the specification of the memory module, maybe the M/B do
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.
5. Check website for latest BIOS update.
6. Check website for FAQ’s regarding instability issue.
7. Change the memory module or CPU.
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.
9. Install VIA 4 in 1 driver.
My system intermittently locks up, during Windows installation.
1. Go to BIOS and load “load optimized default”.
2. Check website for any BIOS update.
3. If still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except CPU/
Memory/ Video card/Hard disk. See if you can finish Windows
installation. Then put peripherals in one by one to identify which
one cause the lockup.
My system will not boot-up when I set my CPU to 133MHz FSB, works
with 100MHz FSB
1. Make sure to put some thermal paste above the CPU.

2. CPU might be defective.
BIOS Issue
Where can I find the BIOS revision of my mainboard?
