SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide 2 Installation Hardware Installation To avoid damage to your Motherboard, please follow these simple rules while handling this equipment: l Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by touching on to an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis. l Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its components. l Check the Motherboard for damage.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Install the Motherboard Follow the steps below in order to perform the installation of your new SY-6ICA Motherboard. Step 1. Install the CPU 350MHz (100 x 3. 5) 400MHz (100 x 4.0) 450MHz (100 x 4.5) 500MHz (100 x 5.0) 550MHz (100 x 5.5) 600MHz (100 x 6.0) 533MHz (133 x 4.0) 600MHz (133 x 4.5) 667MHz (133 x 5.0) 733MHz (133 x 5.5) FSB 133MHz 400MHz (133 x 3.0) 466MHz (133 x 3.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Connections to the Motherboard This section tells how to connect internal peripherals and the power supply to the Motherboard. Step 2. Hardware Installation The internal peripherals consist of IDE devices (HDD, CD-ROM), Floppy Disk Drive, Chassis Fan, Front Panel Devices (ACPI LED, Internal Speaker, Reset Button, IDE LED, and KeyLock Switch.), Wake-On-LAN card, VGA card, Sound Card, and other devices.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Configure Memory This motherboard incorporates the latest Direct Rambus™ technology memory subsystem capable of delivering three times the bandwidth of conventional 100MHz SDRAM based systems. The board comes with two RIMM™ sockets for modular memory expansion, allowing maximum memory array sizes of up to 256MB/512MB/1GB using RDRAM modules that come with 64/72Mbit, 128/144Mbit or 256/288Mbit ICs.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Step 4. Set the CPU Frequency Hardware Installation This Motherboard does not use any jumpers to set the CPU frequency; the CPU settings can be changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Please refer to Chapter 3 “Quick BIOS Setup”for details on setting the CoppermineTM processor frequency. Step 5.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Step 7. PC speaker redirection (JP10) Through this jumper the case speaker output can be redirected to the external (amplified) speakers (if connected) through the on-board Audio-Codec. Redirect to external speaker JP10 Setting Short pin 1-2 Use case speaker Short pin 2-3 1 2 3 Step 8. 1 2 3 CPU Core Voltage Adjust (JP15) In case your CPU is running on a frequency higher then it is specified for, increasing its core voltage can enhance its stability.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Step 9. CPU Safe Mode (JP7) Hardware Installation If the user overclocks the system there is always the risk that the system will not boot up properly. In that case closing JP7 will force system to use the actual CPU multiplier to boot up. The boot-up sequence in that case will be as follows: Ø Ø Ø -The system will start up with the lowest multiplier available. -The BIOS will now read the CPU-ID code and set the multiplier in accordance with it.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide 3 Quick BIOS Setup This Motherboard does not require any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable through the BIOS [Soyo Combo Feature]. The [Soyo Combo Feature] menu combines the main parameters that you need to configure your system. They are all in one menu to enable a quick setup in BIOS. Step 1. Select [Standard CMOS Features] Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to “Auto”. Step 2.

Ø Application for windows 95, 98 and 98SE On the CD an application is available for the Yamaha soundchip.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide Quick Trouble shoot tips 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 beeps mean 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.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide I get distorted video my AGP card right after I save my bios. Why is that? The cause is likely that your AGP card is not running at the correct bus speed. To fix this, please clear the CMOS via JP5 and if it still does not work, please upgrade your motherboard bios to the latest version. 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.
SY-6ICA Quick Start Guide 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 'south bridge' driver for the motherboard.
