interface is fully configurable through a set of control registers.  
1-6.6 Hub Interface  
The hub interface is a private interconnect between the Intel® 815E  
GMCH and the ICH2.  
1-6.7 Intel® 815E GMCH Integrated Graphics Support  
The Intel® 815E GMCH includes a highly integrated graphics  
accelerator. Its architecture consists of dedicated multi-media  
engines executing in parallel to deliver high performance 3D, 2D  
and motion compensation video capabilities. The 3D and 2D engines  
are managed by a 3D/2D pipeline preprocessor allowing a sustained  
flow of graphics data to be rendered and displayed. The deeply  
pipelined 3D accelerator engine provides 3D graphics quality and  
performance via per-pixel 3D rendering and parallel data paths  
which allow each pipeline stage to simultaneously operate on  
different primitives or portions of the same primitive. The Intel®  
815E GMCH graphics accelerator engine supports  
perspective-correct texture mapping, trilinear and anisotropic  
Mip-Map filtering, Gouraud shading, alpha-blending, fogging and  
Z-buffering. A rich set of 3D instructions permit these features to be

Motherboard Description  
SY-7ISA+  
1-6.8 IDE Support  
The motherboard has two independent bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces.  
These interfaces support PIO Mode3, PIO Mode 4, PIO Mode 5 ATAPI  
devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 synchronous-DMA  
mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and  
extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS  
automatically detects the IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.  
Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of  
processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the  
bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while  
disk transfers are occurring.  
The motherboard also supports laser servo (LS-120) drives. LS-120  
technology allows the user to perform read/write operations to LS-120  
(120MB) and conventional 1.44MB and 720KB diskettes. An optical servo  
system is used to precisely position a dual-gap head to access the diskett’s  
2,490 tracks per inch (tpi) containing up to 120 MB of data storage. A  
conventional diskette uses 135 tpi for 1.44 MB of data storage.  
LS-120 drivers are ATAPI-compatible and connect to the motherboard’s  
IDE interface. (LS-120 drives are also available with SCSI and parallel  
port interfaces.) Some versions of Windows 95 and Windows NT  
operating systems recognize the LS-120 drive as a bootable device in both  
120 MB and 1.44 MB mode.  
Connection of an LS-120 drive and a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive is  
allowed. The LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device if selected  
as Drive A in the BIOS setup program.  
¡Note  
If you connect a LS-120 drive to an IDE connector and configure it as  
the :boot: drive and configure a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive as a “B”  
drive, the standard diskette drive is not seen by the operating system.  
When the LS-120 drive is configured as the “boot: device, the system will  
recognize it as both the A and B drive

SY-7ISA+  
1-8 HARDWARE MONITOR  
The optional hardware monitor subsystem provides low-cost  
instrumentation capabilities. The features of the hardware monitor  
subsystem include:  
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
An integrated ambient temperature sensor  
Fan speed sensors, which monitor the fan 1 and fan 2 connectors  
Power supply voltage monitoring to detect levels above or below  
acceptable values  
When suggested ratings for temperature, fan speed, or voltage are  
exceeded, an interrupt is activated. The hardware monitor component  
connects to the SMBus.  
1-9 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY  
Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer  
through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in  
network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote  
wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on  
LAN technology connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the MII  
interface; upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal  
that powers up the computer. To access this feature uses the Wake on LAN  
technology connector.  
☛CAUTION  
For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be  
capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate  
standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power  
supply.

Step 6. CPU Frequency Settings: JP6, JP7, CJ1 and CJ2  
Your FC-PGA 133/100/66 MHz FSB CPU has a pin JP6, JP7 to tell it  
what FSB frequency the CPU requires; If these two jumpers are shorted  
the motherboard will automatically run at the frequency the CPU was  
specified to run at.  
However, the FSB Frequency can also be set through jumpers CJ1 and  
CJ2 and it may therefore differ from the 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.

2-3.9 Troubleshooting at First Start  
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. Also make  
sure to check the voltage setting switch (110V/220V) on the back of the  
power supply. To isolate the problem do the following:  
1. Press and hold down on the “Ins” (insert) key while turning on the  
computer until you get video. If you do not get video then,  
2. Double-check jumpers setting on you motherboard and remove all  
add-on cards, unplug all hard-disk and floppy-disk drive cables and see if  
you can hear some beeps. If you still do not get any beeps, then try putting  
the motherboard on the table (to isolate it from the case) with the CPU and  
speaker only, and give it one more try.  
I hear a series of beeps and I do not get anything from my monitor.  
What could be wrong?  
The following lists some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:  
•
One long beep and 3 very short beeps - The video card is not  
detected by the motherboard. Please re-seat your video card. If  
you are using an AGP card, please push your AGP card down  
real hard. You may have to push VERY hard without the AGP  
card mounting screw. Make sure not to insert the card the other  
way around.  
•
Continuous beeps – One or more of the memory modules is not  
seated correctly in its socket.

Hardware Installation  
SY-7ISA+  
My PCI VGA card works fine with my system, but when I put in a  
new AGP card, it does not give me any video. Is my AGP slot bad?  
This is a common problem with AGP video cards. The reason is that your  
AGP card did not get seated into the AGP slot fully and firmly. Please  
push your AGP card down into the socket real hard, it should snap twice.  
You may have to unscrew the AGP card to allow the card to go further  
down. Do take care not to damage the card by using too much force.  
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. It  
will show as your board type followed by the revision number, such as  
5EH_2CA1 (meaning revision 2CA1 for the SY-5EH board) or 6BA+  
IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard with 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.tw), and look up your motherboard to find  
the latest BIOS revision.  
Hard disk, floppy drive, CD-ROM etc  
When I boot up my new computer I got "floppy boot failure" and the  
LED on the floppy stays on  
Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy  
drive side (don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector  
of the cable (don't use middle one).  
Modem issues  
I get an "I/O Conflict" message when I turn on my system and I can  
not get my modem to work  
49  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Hardware Installation  
SY-7ISA+  
What you need to do is to disable 'COM2' (or UART2 or serial port 2) in  
the bios under integrated peripheral setup.  
I have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get  
my modem to work. Why?  
If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you  
need to install the south bridge driver from the SOYO CD, this is because  
Windows does not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.  
Audio Issues  
I do not get any sound from my sound card. What could be wrong?  
Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your  
sound card.  
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.  
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from  
the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?  
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the sound  
card is not connected or it is loose.  
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and  
microphone do not work. What is wrong?  
This is because the recorder and microphone in the Windows are not  
enabled. Please go to sound properties and enable them.  
Lock up (freeze)  
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... ", and it won’t go any further.  
What should I do?

Please clear the CMOS via JP5 then choose 'load optimized default' in the  
bios and save the bios and exit. Next, unplug all other add-on cards except  
the video card and floppy drive controller, and see if it can boot from  
floppy. 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  
Note on Over-clocking Capability  
The SY-7ISA+ 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.)  
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.  
Press the <Del> key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the  
Award BIOS Setup program.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
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
