SOYO SY-P4VM800 Quick Start Guide

Precautions

1.Please read this Quick Start Guide before proceeding with your installations. Serious damage may occur if the installation procedures are not followed properly.

2.AGP cards running at 3.3v are not supported. Only AGP cards running at 1.5v & 0.8v (4x /8x AGP cards) are supported on this motherboard.

3.Please ensure that your memory modules are installed properly. They can fit into the memory slots only one way, and should fit completely in the socket without sticking out. Failure to do so will damage your motherboard and memory module.

4.An ATX 12V power supply (Power supply for Pentium 4 system) is required for the system to operate normally. (Preferably 350 watts for minimal loading or 400 watts for fully loaded system).

5.If you have any problem getting your system to work, please follow the troubleshooting tips on Page 32 of your user guide.

6.On some motherboards, the actual chipset cooler fan/heatsink, despite its different look from that showing on the color box, is of the same quality and will work just as well. (The chipset cooler is as sufficient as the chipset fan based on a different design.)
