1-2 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules
while unpacking:
ØBefore handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping
an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.
ØRemove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold
the Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its
components.
ØCheck the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears loose,
press carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.
Warning: Do not apply power if the Motherboard appears
damaged. If there is damage to the board, contact your
dealer immediately.
1-3 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to ground yourself before handling the Motherboard or
other system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily
damage the components. Note that you must take special
precautions when handling the Motherboard in dry or air-conditioned
environment.
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the
following precautions:
ØDo not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to
install.
ØGround yourself before removing any system component from
its protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp
the expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the
computer chassis.)
ØFrequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding
strap.

HARDWARE SETUP
Congratulations on your purchase of SY-5SSM Super 7 TM
Motherboard. 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. Pentium processor with CPU cooling fan.
2. DIMM memory module
3. Computer case and chassis with adequate power supply unit
4. Monitor
5. Keyboard
6. Pointing Device (PS/2 mouse)
7. Speaker(s) (optional)
8. Disk Drives: HDD, CD-ROM, Floppy drive…
9. External Peripherals: Printer, Plotter, and Modem (optional)
10. Internal Peripherals: Modem and LAN cards (optional)
Frequently Asked Questions:
lDo I need to install a VGA card?
lDo I also need to install a sound card?
The answer is NO to both questions above, since, for your
convenience, the SY-5SSM Motherboard already features one built-
in VGA port and three built-in audio-stereo ports (Line-out, Line-in,
Microphone).
Notice: If you plan on using the onboard VGA and intend to install
only one DRAM memory module, then this single DRAM must be
installed in bank DIMM1.
lWhat kind of speaker can connect to "Line-out" port?
This Motherboard requires a speaker with built-in amplifier to
generate proper output sound volume.

2-2 Unpacking the Motherboard
When unpacking the Motherboard, check for the following items:
ØThe SY-5SSM SiS530 PCI/AGP Motherboard
ØThis Quick Start Guide *
ØThe Installation CD-ROM *
ØOne IDE Device Flat Cable
ØOne Floppy Disk Drive Flat Cable
ØOne serial port flat cable with a 9-pin connector
* If your board comes with a driver disc and a paper manual, the Quick Start Guide
and the CD-ROM are not included in the package.
Warning: Do not unpack the Motherboard from its anti-
static packaging until you are ready to install it.
Like most electronic equipment, your Motherboard may be damaged
by electrostatic discharge. To avoid permanent damage to
components ground yourself while working by using a grounding
strap. Otherwise, ground yourself frequently by touching the
unpainted portion of the computer chassis to drain the static
charges.
Handle the Motherboard carefully, holding it by the edges.
You are now ready to start the installation.

2-3 Installation Guide
We will now begin the installation of the Motherboard. Please follow
the step-by-step procedure designed to lead you to a complete and
correct installation.
Step 1. CPU Installation
Follow these instructions to install your Pentium® class processor
correctly.
Locate the CPU socket labeled Socket 7 on your Motherboard and
note the distinctive pinhole arrangement.
Note the corresponding pinhole arrangement on the processor.

Follow these steps to install the CPU in the Socket 7:
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.
Step 2. CPU Fan Installation
Your Pentium® 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.

Step 3. CPU Voltage Setting (JP30)
Please verify the correct voltage with your dealer before installation.
Use the following tables to set JP30 to the proper "Voltage Value",
according to the specifications marked on your CPU: This
Motherboard comes with pre-configured setting of CPU voltage.
However the voltage of your CPU maybe different with the default
setting.
lCPU VOLTAGE SETTING (JP30)
JP30 are the only jumpers that you need t4o set for your CPU
voltage on this Motherboard.
There are two kinds of CPU voltages currently on the market
depending on the CPU manufacturer:
ØSingle Voltage (CPU: P54C, AMD-K5, Cyrix 6x86, IDT
WinChip C6/W2)
ØDual Voltage (CPU: P55C, AMD-K6, AMD-K6-2 Cyrix
6x86L,Cyrix 6x86MX, Cyrix M II)

Those processors may come in various voltages on different
markets. Therefore, always make sure you know the type of the
CPU you are installing and adjust the settings on JP30 accordingly.
This Motherboard supports CPU voltages from 2.0 to 3.52V in 0.1V
increments. Use the following tables to set the CPU voltage jumpers
