SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation Chapter 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Congratulations on owning a-SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0. You are about to install and connect your new motherboard. Note: Do not unpack the motherboard from its protective anti-static packaging until you have made the following preparations. 2-1 PREPARATIONS Gather and prepare all the following hardware equipment to complete the installation successfully: 1. Socket A processor with built-in CPU cooling fan (boxed type) 2.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation 2-2 INSTALLATION GUIDE We will now begin the installation process. Please follow the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and correct installation. Step 1- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Step 2- Install memory modules Step 3- Install expansion cards Step 4- Connect cables, case wires, and power supply Step 5- Power on and enter BIOS setup Step 6- Install supporting software tools. See Chapter 4 for more info.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation 2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole distinctive edge on the socket. 3. Seat the processor in the socket completely and without forcing. 4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place. Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate power connector on the motherboard. The fan is a key component that will ensure system stability. It prevents overheating, therefore prolonging the life of your CPU.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation CPU Fan Installation Your Socket A 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.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation 2. Make sure that the retaining clip is in this position before trying to install the heatsink. Notice that the clip is not symmetrical. The long end always attaches to the top of the socket (the end that reads “Socket 462”), while the short end engages the bottom of the socket. No matter which heatsink is used, the clip is always installed in the same manner. 3. To install this clip, push firmly only on the end of the clip.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation 4. The fans power connector should be connected to CPUFAN1. Note: If the fan is defective or Power connector is not connected to CPUFAN1, the system will enable Fan Off Control function. See page 20 for more information on FOC function. When the CPU temperature exceeds the temperature set in the CPU Temp.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation 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. S/W Simultaneous Signal Follow-ups techniques and Auto Power Off System are included to prevent all possible damage caused by the malfunctioning of the CPU fan.
SY-KT880 DRAGON 2 V2.0 Hardware Installation up, the user may disable it. 2. 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, provides the total protection to the CPU and allows it to maximize its performance.

APPENDIX B Troubleshooting 107
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. 2. 3. 4. 5. Check if the power cord is plug into the power source. Check if the power is connected to the M/B. Check if the cable of the case power button is connected to the M/B power button connector (see Connectors and Plug-ins section in this Quick start guide for more info). Make sure the power supply is not defective. Change the power supply.
4. 5. not used) are inserted properly in the M/B. 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 the website). Change the VGA card (if used). The system turns on for some seconds then shutdown by itself. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Check if the CPU fan is connected to the CPUFAN1 connector. The CPU might be overheating.
4. The BIOS chip might be failing. I hear a 1-2 beeping sound and then the system shut down, what is the problem? Verify that the CPU fan is connected to the CPUFAN1 connector. Stability Issues My system intermittently locks up, very unstable 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Check the CPU Temperature, your CPU might be overheating. Change the CPU FAN. Do not overclock your CPU Check the specification of the memory module, maybe the M/B does not support it. Go to BIOS setup and load fail safe settings.
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! mainboard) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard, with a 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.
VGA Issue I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480). 1. Install/ re-install the VGA driver. After waking up from Suspend to RAM or Standby mode, the screen has no display but I can hear the hard disk operating 1. Check the VGA card manufacturer for a driver update (if using a different video card then the onboard video), and make sure the VGA card supports the Suspend to Ram function. 2. Update your VGA card’s BIOS (in the case of a video card other then the onboard video).
The sound and everything else works fine except that the line-in and microphone do not work. What is wrong? 1. Please go to sound properties and check if the line-in and microphone in are enabled and not muted. 2. Check if the Microphone is ok. 3. When using 6 speakers the line-in and microphone channels are used for rear, center and bass. 6-Channel audio and microphone/line-in can not be used at the same time.
