Follow the directions in this section which is designed to guide you through a quick and correct method to install your new SY-7VBA 133 Motherboard. For detailed information, please refer to the SY-7VBA 133 Motherboard User's Manual and Technical Reference online manual on the CD-ROM package that came with your Motherboard.
SY-7VBA 133 Quick Start Guide Install the Motherboard To perform the installation of your new SY-7VBA 133 Motherboard, follow the steps below: CPU Installation Step 1. Mark your CPU Frequency: Record the working frequency of your CPU that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.
Chassis Fan, Front Panel Devices (Internal Speaker, Reset Button and IDE LED Switch.), Wake-On-LAN card, VGA card, Sound Card, and other devices. For more details on connecting internal and external peripherals to your new SY-7VBA 133 Motherboard, please refer to SY-7VBA 133 Motherboard User's Manual and Technical Reference online manual on the CD-ROM.
In case your CPU is running on a frequency higher then it is specified for, increasing its core voltage can enhance its stability. Over-clocking your CPU does however force your system to operate outside of its specifications, and therefore SOYO can not guarantee system stability.

Frequency the CPU specifies. If CJ1 and CJ2 are to be used, JP6 & JP7 must be open. Doing so may however force your CPU to operate out of its specifications and therefore SOYO can not guarantee the proper functioning of your system. Refer to the following table:...

SY-7VBA 133 Quick Start Guide CMOS Clear (JP5) In some cases the CMOS memory may contain wrong data, follow the steps below to clear the CMOS memory. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. This jumper can be easily identified by its white colored cap.
This Motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. The [SOYO COMBO SETUP] combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS.

Insert the SOYO CD into the CD-ROM drive Step 1. If you use Windows NT, the SOYO-CD will not detect your motherboard type. In that case the following dialog will pop up, please choose your motherboard and press OK. Now the SOYO-CD Start Up Menu will be shown.
SY-7VBA 133 Quick Start Guide The user's manual files included on the SOYO CD are in PDF (Postscript Document) format. In order to read a PDF file, the appropriate Acrobat Reader software must be installed in your system. Note: The Start Up program automatically detects if the Acrobat Reader utility is already present in your system, and otherwise prompts you on whether or not you want to install it.

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.
Why? If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you need to install the VIA 4 in 1 driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.

Then put back the peripherals one by one to identify which one causes the lockup. I can not get my board to run properly. Please make sure you have the latest bios and driver from the SOYO web site at: http://www.soyo.com...
