The SY-7VBA 133 uses VIA Chipset technology and supports Socket 370 class processors. This Motherboard is fully compatible with industry standards and adds many technical enhancements. 1-2 KEY FEATURES CPU SUPPORT The SY-7VBA 133 supports a wide range of INTEL CPUs: FSB 133MHz: Intel Pentium® III 533~933 MHz FSB 100MHz: Intel Pentium® III 500~850 MHz FSB 66MHz: Intel Celeron® 400~700 MHz New released Intel Socket 370 CPUs will very likely be supported by the SY-7VBA 133 as well. CPU SETTINGS The SY-7VBA 133 provides the user with a very complete and convenient CPU setting environment. The CPU settings are all adjusted through the special SOYO COMBO page in the BIOS, therefore rendering the use of jumpers obsolete. CPU FSB Frequency The SY-7VBA 133 supports an incredible wide range of CPU FSB frequency settings: 66, 75, 81, 83, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 112, 113, 115, 117, 118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 133, 135, 137, 138, 140, 142, 144, 150 and 155 MHz. This ensures that the SY-7VBA 133 has an overwhelming overclocking potential. 1 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 CPU Multiplier The SY-7VBA 133 supports a wide range of multipliers: 2.0x, 2.5x, 3.0x, 3.5x, 4.0x, 4.5x, 5.0x, 5.5x, 6.0x, 6.5x, 7.0x, 7.5x and 8.0x EXPANDABILITY The SY-7VBA 133 provides all the standard expansion slots, and many more additional expansion features: Expansion slots 1 x 32-bit bus master AGP slot 5 x 32-bit bus master PCI slots 2 x 16-bit ISA slots Enhanced IO Floppy disk controller 2x EIDE controllers with support for up to 4 Ultra DMA 33/66 devices Standard/EPP/ECP parallel port 2x 16550 compatible serial ports IrDA compatible infrared port 4x USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors PS/2 mouse connector PS/2 keyboard connector 2 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS The SY-7VBA 133 supports advanced functions such as: Wake-On-LAN Supports Wake-On-LAN (Some advanced network cards can wake the system up over the network, the WOL connector is provided by the SY-7VBA 133 to support this function). Multiple boot The SY-7VBA 133 supports booting from devices such as CD-ROM. Power on by modem or alarm If the SY-7VBA 133 system is in suspend mode, it can be switched back on through the modem or RTC alarm through this function. This opens a lot of possibilities, such as remote access that switches the system on only after the modem receives a call. FAIL SAFE The SY-7VBA 133 comes with added functionality to make managing the system easy and safe Hardware Monitor The integrated Hardware Monitor IC and Hardware doctor software enables the user to monitor system voltages, temperatures and FAN speeds. This makes sure that the user is full control of the system Power Failure Resume Function This function can be set in the BIOS, and determines whether the system will automatically turn on again after a power failure. This function is indispensable for server systems that need to always be on line. 5VSB Indicator This green LED gives an indication of the presence of the 5V Standby voltage. This voltage is always fed into the motherboard and is used for functions such as WOL. NORTON SOFTWARE PACK 3 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 COMPLIANCE The SY-7VBA 133 complies with all important industry standards. The following underlines the reliability of the SY-7VBA 133, a motherboard to trust. PC99, ACPI compliant USER FRIENDLY SOYO Combo Setup Jumperless design You can set up the following options trough the BIOS setting CPU FSB frequency CPU multiplier CPU Vcore voltage PCI clock AGP Clock SDRAM Clock 4 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 1-3 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules while unpacking: Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis. Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its components. Check 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. 1-4 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: Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install. Ground 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.) Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap. Handle the Motherboard by its edges and avoid touching its components. 5 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 1-5 SY-7VBA 133 MOTHERBOARD LAYOUT PS/2 KB PS/2 Mouse Connector Connector 4 6 CJ2 VJ1 1 CJ1 3 31 1 3 JP6 USB 1 USB 2 PRT COM A JP7 Socket 370 CPUFAN 1 3 ATX Power 1 FDC1 COMB SDRAM VT82C693A JOYSTICK LINE-OUT LINE-IN MIC JACK AGP Slot SDRAM 1 1 IDE 1 IDE 2 DIMM 3 DIMM 2 CODEC AC97 PCI Slot #1 PCI Slot #2 DIMM 1 1 3 M JP5l e a r C OS C 3V Lithium Battery Jumper 1 4 1 4 CDIN2 JP10 3 1 CDIN1 PCI Slot #3 VT82C686A Flash BIOS PCI Slot #4 SIRCON PCI Slot #5 1 5 1 USB4 4 5 ISA Slot #1 1 Power LED USB3 + Speaker 1 3 Reset SB HDD PWRBT LED LED Back Panel SY-7VBA 133 Platform 6 _ _ + + _ _ ISA Slot #2 + CHAFAN Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 1-6 SY-7VBA 133 MOTHERBOARD COMPONENTS A B C D E F G H I Y SDRAM SDRAM J K X L M W N V U O P Q R T S 7 Motherboard Description A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y CPU AJ33 and AJ31 Setting Jumper (JP6, JP7) Socket 370 Connector CPU Core Voltage Adjust Jumper CPU Cooling Fan Connector Via 693A North Bridge chip ATX Power Supply Connector DIMM Banks CPU AJ33 and AJ31 Setting Jumper (CJ1, CJ2) Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) Port Bus Mastering e-IDE/ATAPI Ports 32-bit AGP Slot 3V Lithium Battery CMOS Clear Jumper Via 686A South Bridge Chip 32-bit PCI Mastering Slots Standard Infrared (IrDA) Device Header USB Ports Chassis Cooling Fan Front panel connectors 16-bit ISA Slots Flash BIOS Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Header CD-IN Connectors AC97 Codec Chip Back panel Connectors SY-7VBA 133 8 Motherboard Description SY-7VBA 133 1-7 MICROPROCESSOR The motherboard supports a single Socket 370 processor. The processor's VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard to the required processor voltage. In addition, the front side bus speed (100 MHz and 133 MHz) is automatically selected. The motherboard supports all current Socket 370 processor speeds, voltages, and bus frequencies. 1-7.1 Microprocessor Packaging The CPU is packaged in a 370 pin PGA package.
