Hardware Installation
"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. FOC only works on CPUFAN 1.
2. CPU fan with sensor pins 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.
