SY-K7VMPQuick Start Guide

“FOC” includes the following functions:

Simultaneous Signal Follow Up: 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.

Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS receives the information of CPU fan revolution, it continues to function normally. If no signal is received, it will inform the system and disconnect the power supply immediately to protect the CPU from overheating.

Note: The following must be observed to secure the normal functioning of “Fan-Off Control”:

1.FOC only works on CPUFAN 1.

2.A CPU fan with sensor pin must be used.

3.CPU fans approved by AMD are strongly recommended.

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.

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.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, provides the total protection to the CPU and allows it to maximize its performance.

Note: FOC will only work during BOOT-up. Once the system enters the operating system, FOC will be disabled.

SY-K7VMP specifications

The SOYO SY-K7VMP motherboard is a classic piece of hardware from the early 2000s that gained attention for its advanced features and compatibility with the AMD Athlon and Duron processors. Designed for users looking for robust performance and reliability, the SY-K7VMP offered several technologies and characteristics that made it a popular choice among computer builders at the time.

One of the primary features of the SY-K7VMP is its support for the AMD Socket A, accommodating processors with a front-side bus (FSB) speed of up to 200 MHz, enabling users to harness the full potential of their CPUs. With a chipset based on the VIA KT133A, the SY-K7VMP provided a balanced approach to performance and stability, making it suitable for both home and office environments.

The motherboard supported up to 1GB of SDRAM through its three DIMM slots, allowing users to enhance multitasking capabilities and improve overall system responsiveness. The SY-K7VMP supported various RAM speeds ranging from PC-100 to PC-133, providing flexibility for users to select the memory that best suited their performance needs.

In terms of storage options, the SY-K7VMP featured an integrated IDE controller that supported up to four ATA/100 devices, which allowed for faster data transfer rates and improved hard drive performance. This was crucial at a time when data storage demands were rapidly increasing with the introduction of larger hard drives.

Another highlight of the motherboards was its integrated AC'97 audio, which eliminated the need for a separate sound card for basic audio needs. This feature catered to casual users who needed standard audio capabilities without additional costs. Furthermore, the SY-K7VMP was equipped with multiple expansion slots, including AGP and PCI slots, enabling users to add graphics cards, additional sound cards, or network cards as needed.

The SY-K7VMP also placed an emphasis on connectivity, featuring onboard LAN support for internet access, which was becoming increasingly essential for users. Overall, the SOYO SY-K7VMP motherboard offered a compelling combination of features, performance, and expandability.

While it may be considered outdated by modern standards, the SY-K7VMP remains a testament to the evolution of computing hardware and the demands of users during its time in the spotlight.
