Installation
Install the Motherboard
To perform the installation of your new
SY-7IWB
Motherboard, follow the steps below
Step 1. CPU Installation
Mark your CPU Frequency:
Record the working frequency of your CPU
that should be clearly marked on the CPU cover.
300MHz (66 x 4.5) 333MHz (66 x 5.0) 366MHz (66 x 5.5) 400MHz (66 x 6.0)
433MHz (66 x 6.5) 466MHz (66 x7..0) 500MHz (66 x7.5)
This Motherboard is designed to support processors with 100MHz FSB. However, Socket
370 processors with 100MHz FSB are not available at present.
CPU Mount Procedure:
To mount the Celeron
TM
processor that you have
purchased separately, follow these instructions.
1.
Lift the socket handle up to a vertical position.
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 stabilize the
system. It prevents the equipment from overheating and prolongs the life of
your CPU.

Step 3. Configure Memory
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, and provides support up to 512MB main
memory using PC100 DIMM modules from 8MB to 256MB.

Memory Modules DIMM 1 DIMM 2 DIMM 3

RAM Type SDRAM¹
Memory Module Size (MB) 8/16/32/64/256 Mbytes
Note: 1. PC100 Compliant DIMM module is required regardless of 66 or 100
MHz FSB speed.
2. If you want to use DIMM3, DIMM2 must be used as well to let the
system work properly. Just plugging a memory module into DIMM3
with DIMM2 left empty, will make the system not working.
Step 4. Set J6 &JP2 to configure CPU FSB Frequency
If the user wants to use the CPU at its standard FSB (Front Side Bus) Frequency, J6 has to
be closed. This will make sure the system will provide the CPU with the FSB Frequency it
was specified to run at. Make sure that JP2 is open when using this setting.
If the user wants to run the CPU at another (higher) FSB frequency however, J6 has to be
open. In this case use JP2 to set the FSB frequency.
Auto Mode Description
J6 JP2
Short J6
Must
be
open
Run the CPU at its specified FSB frequency.
For 66MHz FSB CPUs 66/75/83 MHz can be
selected in the BIOS.
For 100MHz FSB CPUs 100~133MHz can be
selected in the BIOS.
Note
: Dont put any jumper on JP2 when J6 is set to short.

Manual Mode
Description
J6 JP2
Open J6 Short pin

Set power up FSB frequency to 66MHz if the user
wants to run the CPU at a FSB frequency of
66MHz. Only 66~83MHz FSB can be set in the
BIOS.
J6 JP2
Open J6 Short pin
2-3
Set Power up FSB frequency to 100MHz if the user
wants to run the CPU at an FSB frequency of
100MHz or higher. This setting will allow the user to
run the CPU at a higher FSB frequency, especially
when the user wants to urn a 66MHz FSB CPU at
100MHz and higher FSB frequencies.
Note
: The Manual mode setting facilitates FSB over-clocking. Doing so will however force
your CPU to operate out of its specifications, and therefore SOYO can not guarantee the
proper function of your system.
Step 5. Set the CPU Frequency
This Motherboard does not use any jumpers to set the CPU operating frequency; theCPU
settings can be changed through the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. Please refer to
Chapter 3 Quick BIOS Setup for details on setting the
Celeron
TM
processor frequency.
Step 6. Set for JP9 FWH Boot Block Write-Protect
Setting this jumper to open will prevent the boot block area of the FWH (FirmWare Hub) chip
from being written data into such that it is write-protected from unwanted or abnormal write
activity.
Note
: In some rare cases, the boot block area will need to be flashed to complete the BIOS
upgrade procedure. Setting JP9 to open will cause incomplete BIOS update in that case.

Step 7. Enable/Disable Power-On by Keyboard (JP1)
You may choose to enable the Power-On through Keyboard function by shorting pin 1-2 on
jumper JP1; or short pin 2-3 to disable this function.

Important: When using the Power-On by Keyboard function, please make sure the
ATX power supply is able to provide at least 720mA on the 5V Standby lead (5VSB)
in order to meet the standard ATX specification.
Step 8. 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.

JP10 Setting Short pin 1-2 Short pin 2-3
Step 9. 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. Over-clocking your CPU does however force your system
to operate outside of its specifications, and therefore SOYO can not guarantee system
stability.

Step 10. CMOS Clear (JP5)
After you have turned off your computer, clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting
pins 2-3 on jumper JP5, for a few seconds. Then restore JP5 to the initial 1-2 jumper setting
in order to recover and retain the default settings.
Jumper JP5 can be easily identified by its white colored cap.

Note: You must unplug the ATX power cable from the ATX power connector when
performing the CMOS Clear operation.
Note on Over-clocking Capability
The SY-7IWB provides over-clocking capability. Due to the over-clocking setting your system
may fail to boot up or hang during run time. Please perform the following steps to recover
your system from the abnormal situation :
1.
Turn off system power (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your system,
you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut down the
system.)
2.
Set the J6 to open and set the JP2 pin 1-2 if you use a FSB 66MHz CPU.
3.
Press and hold down the <Insert> key while turning on the system power. Keep holding
down the <Insert> key until you see the message of the CPU type and frequency shown
on the screen.
4.
Press the <Del> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup
program.
5.
Select [Soyo Combo Feature] and move the cursor to the [CPU Frequency] field to set the
proper working frequency.
6.
Select [Save & Exit SETUP] and press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the
CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.
Note: SOYO does not guarantee system stability if the user over clocks the system.
Any malfunctions due to over-clocking are not covered by the warranty.

Special Design Considerations
1. The Headphone does not mute the audio when the headphone slider is adjusted to the minimum
value.
2. SW Synth slider jumps to max value, when Synth state is switched from Stop to Play or viceversa.
3. Master Volume levels are quite low when compared to Headphone volume levels.
4. Fastforward and Rewind Controls in the Media Player can not enabled.
5. When resuming from sw wavetable playback, midi is paused.
6. Digital CD Audio is recorded by loopback mux selection.
7. Mono Mix volume is low.
8. Some Dos games do not run in a Dos Box. This support is provided by the Microsoft legacy Audio
emulator.
Note: The above limitations list is as provided by the codec manufacturer, SOYO will provide customers
with new driver releases through the SOYO website as soon as they are released by the manufacturer.
