Soyo SY-K7VEMPRO User Manual

SY-K7VEMPRO 

“FOC” includes the following functions: 
   (1) Simultaneous Signal Follow Ups: Before the system enters the O/S, 

H/W will detect the signals of the CPU fan pins, get their 
revolution information and send it to the BIOS. 

      (2) Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS gets the information of CPU 

fan revolution, it goes on working normally. If not, it will 
inform the system and have the power supply disconnected 
immediately. Thus, the CPU is protected from over heating. 

Note: The following must be observed to secure the normal functioning of 
“Fan-Off Control”: 
          1. CPU fan with sensor pins must be used. 
     2. CPU fans approved by AMD are strongly recommended. 
          3. The “HOT KEY” function is provided for the CPU fans without 

sensor pins, to avoid the power off. Users may press the “Insert” 
key to jump over the “Power Off” mode; go to the BIOS and 
disable “FOC”. Now system can be booted normally. 

          4. The power connector of the CPU fan must be connected to the 

specified “CPU Fan Connector” on the motherboard to secure the 
normal functioning of the system. 

We provide the following User-Friendly protection features: 

 1.Fan-Off Control : The motherboard detects the status of the CPU 

fan and protects the CPU by automatically disconnecting the 
power supply. The default value of this function is Enable. After 
booting up, the user may disable it. 

 2.CPU Socket Sticker : Users will find a sticker on the CPU socket, 

which reminds      them of the correct usage of the K7 CPU. 

  3. Heat Dissipation Paste: Heat Dissipation Paste is included for all 

Socket-A motherboards, to enhance the heat dissipation 
capability. 

Furthermore, we strongly recommend our users to enable the function of H/W 
monitoring in the BIOS. This function, together with the FOC, provide the total 
protection to the CPU and allow it to maximize its performance.
