“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 approve d 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.
